Chaos, diversity and shifting are components that define the city. The reaction are fast, non-successive, fleeting. In this multilateral entity, millions of relations unfold every day. The city is a field of chances, encounters, exchange of glances but also the simple awareness of the presence of other people.
The polykatoikia is an integral part of the greek topyography, that most of the time is experienced as a compulsion to coexist with strangers. Life is guarded in these walls with a frenzy of privacy. What would happen if a greater part of the public life could permeate the apartment? How the model of the polykatoikia could be revisited, in order for its residents to be liberated from the tyranny of the vicinity and the coexistence?
The project tries to compose all these elements in a special framework, to conquer the overstimulation of the senses of the resident in the metropolis of the 21st century, in order for these to constitute characteristics of a new way of life.
