The project constists of a series of survey upon a building block based in down-town Athens and numbered as 66018. At first place, a survey of “archeolgy” is made. Visits to the Urban Planning State archives and personal documentation of the block consist a full collection of elements related to the block’s construction but also to the laws that shaped juridical and property situations there. Secondly, this material is being transcripted to new forms (images, texts, graphic designs) and ordered anew, forming a new process of documentation which expects to form new architectural intentions. According to this, a new architectural program is constructed, related to the block’s basements and its public arcade network. The basic steps of formatting the block anew are: issues of property, the load bearing and non-load bearing elements of the block construction, partial demolitions. The three booklets that are produced of this project contain:
1. An “archeological” documentation of the block,
2. The transcription of the previous material to new design tools,
3. The new architectural program for the block.
The new architectural program imposed there is a series of manipulations for the constitution of an underground public arcade network (by using and expanding the old and existing one) and a living society of office workers of the Themistoklian Ancient Wall that lays down there.
