The subject matter for this project consists of the design and planning for a new Mediatech , situated in the city of Thessaloniki. As an emerging unit , we attempt to place it in an existing array of civic centers , that altogether relate with both the film and documentary festivals that take place in the city .
The chosen site , resides nearby the western entrance of the city , in a place known as “the Old Railway Station “ ( currently the Merchant Center )
The concept of transfer in cinema but also in the station area , as well as the tracking of special qualities in both fields , are elements that we are interested to infiltrate the logic of the structure . Specifically , we choose certain characteristic elements of the region’s iconography and attempt to translate them through the vocabulary of cinematic narration into a new structure.
