In the past, the complex "Karolos Fix" operated as a brewery. In combination with the other industries of Western Thessaloniki, but also with the transport networks, they contributed to the development of the region. For this reason, the old slaughterhouses became a pole of attraction, extending the existing center to the west.

 However, over time many industries were abandoned resulting in the region being devalued. With the declaration of many buildings as protected historical monuments at the end of the 20th century and their reuse, mainly as cultural centers, there was a gradual return to Behcinari (old slaughterhouses).
Nevertheless, the Fix brewery complex, since it ceased operations in 1983, remains abandoned to this day. Its designation as a protected historical monument in 1994 did not contribute to the restoration of its individual buildings. The newer ones are used as entertainment venues, while the historic buildings remain empty.

 The case of the complex is not an isolated example, since worldwide and especially in Greece there is a plethora of abandoned and empty building shells. In an effort to reintegrate them into the urban fabric, this dissertation is a proposal for restoration and reuse. Specifically, it is proposed to create an industrial history museum, a design school and an office building. The flow of these functions is connected to the history of the area, the coverage of the needs observed in the city of Thessaloniki, but also the correlation of the functions with each other.

 The lack of public design schools and available space for existing universities to house cutting and standardization machinery and equipment justifies the establishment of the school. The school of design includes sections of fashion design, furniture / object design, ceramics, jewelry design and web design. The office building welcomes graduates of the school and the field of arts and architecture, offering economical housing solutions for their work, in order to start their career. Lastly, the significant area of ​​the open air is the next function, which connects the previous ones. Reunites the city with FIX, and functions as a public park.
