The inability of the modern political management of the West (an area of prosperity and peace, where people can dream and pursue an “ideal” life), to address the complex problems of refugees and the lack of criticism of the causes that lead millions of people to flee their homelands, are factors which force thousands of refugees into the agonizing search for a place of salvation and peace.
My idea was and is to respond, with politico-technical (architectural) tools, to the real needs of these people suffering this violence and deprecate, technically and ideologically exalting the architectural potential of a meaningful and internationally applicable Social Policy.
Combining the ideas of economical De Growth, I followed, critically interpreted, and organized my proposal by judging, evaluating and proposing a design-technical method for the path, in space and in time, and the vital needs that must be met for the decent living of the population in forced displacement. In my approach I have been inspired by the humanitarian-political achievements of the immediately involved social groups which coincided with the attempt to cure this and all such humanitarian collapses.
My architectural proposal applies to a marginal district-area, Linopoti Kos, which is mainly rural. In the abandoned Italian buildings and the space between them, I suggest a composition of space, time and relationships, which I believe are sustainable, environmentally safe and balanced for the humans and will act as an antidote to their political insecurity and despair. I seek to integrate into the field of reception and hospitality of immigrants and refugees, all those community-based, educational activities that I consider will ensure its nutritional-energy its autonomy (in terms of nutrition and energy) and its meaningful connection with the local community.
The community I am proposing is a self-sufficient, educational-productive unit that defines, plans and fulfils its political and philosophical operational needs. It can be so designed to work with similar communities of hospitality, education and collective life.
