Athens is a city characterized by contradictions. We live the public space or the lack of it through the screens of a smartphone. We live the city on the move, with hopeful glances at the clearest horizon and transformed images at eye level. We travel as digital nomads in every narrative and image of the world, anticipating the physical experience.
Looking for a mechanism to redefine the new ridge of the city, key questions were asked.
In the empty space of the flat roof, in the absence of the built, the idea of the city is concentrated. The social life unfolds in many forms, performing the acquaintance with the city as a collective experience. Experiencing the Greek existence and observing it, the coastal, mountainous and plain landscapes emerged with the main desirable landscapes with emphasis on crops.
The selected area for the implementation of this proposal is bordered by Kallidromiou, Mavromichali, Isavron and Charilaou Trikoupi streets. An area with a special character and remarkable history that over the years has served as a beacon of changes.
The plot of each intervention is any flat roof in the city. Playing with the existing ideal solid of the area and increasing it in height, we are looking for a new horizon.
It is considered an ideal place based on the character and history of the area, so the intention for change will meet fertile ground for its implementation.
