The basic principles of this thesis are the thoughts that the city has as many aspects as its observers, the direct relation of human desire to the natural and urban environment, and the irreplaceable relation of man to apparatus-machines. More specifically, we use the area of Hellenikon as an example of a design strategy that includes the recording of the wishes of all involved actors in the region and the reduction of registered wishes in machines, tools and equipment that would be capable of fulfilling them. Therefore, the fantasies for the region are interpreted as investment/entertainment, training, excavation, flight, protest, and are strategically introduced at Hellenikon, creating a situation where all competitive desires coexist, interact and adapt. The scenario presupposes the maintenance of the area as it is, without any building intervention. Only machines, light metal constructions and periodic activities are thought to be capable of representing the conflicting fantasies and activating the region.
In the cultures of the past machines were created where they laid the foundations for the later ones. It is therefore impossible to imagine today's era without all of these inventions, some of which would hardly be believed to have been created so many thousands of years ago. The first part of thesis is therefore a historical reference to the originator machines that inspired the later choice. The second part explores the history, facts and general information of Hellenikon. The third part concerns the positioning strategy of machines, complementary constructions and tools as well as the mode of operation of the theme park proposed.
