The subject of this diploma thesis concerns the creation of an Environmental Center in the area of Aspropotamos, Trikala, near the mountain village of Haliki.

 It is a center of study and hospitality aimed at people who seek contact with nature and are interested in participating in relevant workshops, lectures and excursions. The building is divided into four levels, the first one with a small reception area for the best service of the visitors, a multipurpose space and the cafeteria. The second level hosts the amphitheater and leads to the third level, in a projection room through a staircase. On the fourth floor are the 6 guest rooms with independent hygienic and kitchen facilities. The move to the building is through staircases and elevators that run all four levels, while the sanitary areas have been preceded by a study for disabled persons. Characteristic of the building is the possibility of << escape >> to and from it, creating both internal and external routes that connect different spaces. At the same time, through the corrugations that create the openings of the building, continuous contact with the external environment is achieved, which is intensified by the completion of the building in a long opening, thus integrating its different levels.

Regarding all the actions that the Aspropotamos Environment Center hosts, the visitor can participate in conferences and lectures on the subject of the environment and its protection, or to introduce more specific issues related to nature such as the study of local herbs and their impact on the human body, nutrition issues involving the local community as well as the exploration of the natural wealth that surrounds the building according to the capacity of the group. The actions also concern educational institutions such as schools and more specifically groups of students who attend the Environmental Education course and wish to enrich their knowledge both theoretically and practically.

The ultimate goal is to create a core within the vastness of nature, informing and sensitizing man.
