We are creating a scenario with which we can make a statement in architectural terms. Using the shape of legal documents and constitutions regarding space, we form contradictions that could never exist in these documents.
Everything that consists this that we call pathologies in Athents, we shall not cure with a medi-political gesture, a proposal of healthy law. We consider these patholgies as theories and actions that are depending on the same mechanism that creates them.
Through a common groundĀ we note theĀ the antagonisms and conflicts that produce space. Organized relations cannot be produced elsewhere, only where there is a decision required. This is the common ground, a ground that is not proposed as the correct one that can solve any problem but one that can host meetings of people or communities consisting a new balance.
University on the other hand, is the institution that, at least in Greece, can interfear in sensitive apsects of life. To be clear, university has the social legitimation in some areas that state rules exclysively, such as health and education.
In marginal times regarding the relation between state and university this autonomy is disputed. In our scenario, The Experimental Urban Planning is trying to interfear with exactly these relations and contradictions.
We choose the physical space of the university as a scene so the phantasy of our scenario can form. We question the fact that the term university is almost identical with its campus. This is a global phenomenon with political extensions regarding the zoning of cities.
All in all, the scenery is both local and global (glocal). University is referred to Athens, Greece and the world in general. It is about specific ways of building and local pathologies, elations of the university and the state, symbolic zones, branding and global knowledge concerning - also - global planning.
