Project details

project developed for the 9th semester studio at NTUA
supervisor: Prof. Andreas Kourkoulas, Prof. Paraskevi Noukaki-Babalou
Description

The intervention area is a terrain of 95.000 sq.m that will accomodate a program [housing, offices, commerce, entertainment] of 10.000 sq.m. The lot is a void that was used as an earthquake camp for housing temporarily homeless people after the Athens 1999 earthquake. The broader area, being dedicated to industrial use in the past, is now functioning as a metropolitan archipelago, like fragmented islands with different uses, forming an urban fabric with no coherence. The existance of these multiple urban centers produces the need to create an intermediate space, able to articulate all these different uses, with the public space being built as a space for social interaction.

By folding a surface, volumes that represent spaces are created. The synthetic procedure is set free from prejudices and every previous preconception is erased.
The terrain is manipulated as a single folding surface, that allows the creation of buildings that emerge from the topography - a groundscraping procedure that preserves the oblique from the train station to the river.

Flexible housing units

The free plan and the moving panels between the rooms allow the formation of each appartment by its dwellers. The sliding doors that separate each room from the corridor, can at the same time unify these two spaces. The corridor is acting as the buffer zone of the appartment, either by receiving the extension of the room, or by being unified with the balcony through the sliding window frames. This hazy condition creates an efficient interrelation between interior and exterior, a value which is of great importance in dwelling in Greece.
