The study’s main theme was an idea of a graduate paper that has to do with the human construction, the shore and the water element. Such constructions are common in the Pagasiticos gulf area, mainly the traditional shipwright units that used to be operated. Even though the minor shipyard industry was in decline during the past decades, new designers are trying to readdress their work in today’s mostly competitive market.
Therefore, it was decided that a ship building-repairing yard would be designed, with emphasis on its liability within the confines of Greece.
During the study, an effort was made to address every functional need as those are dictated by contemporary conditions, as well as rendering the ship construction work easier and less demanding on human resources. On the other hand, it was decided that the study would face the symbiotic matters that arise from such dwellings, in terms of integrating the construction to the environment.
