The Sperchios river flows through the valley of Fthiotida and on its banks are located areas of ecological importance. The riverside forests and the impressive river delta are often the subject of research and study not only by competent services, but also by walkers. There, they are invited to observe either the various birds that inhabit the area, or the dense plane tree forest that extends parallel to the flow of the river.

 The way the area can be recorded requires the process of walking. In a meditative form, with a need to search. The gravel, the sand, the trunks of the trees, the dense foliage, the paths between the weeds, unfold as you walk. The landscape is inhabited by the observer as he explores it.

 The present dissertation includes interventions in the plane tree forest of Mexiates, a landscape that changes with the overflows of the river during the rainy seasons of the year. Shelter structures are created, able to house the bodies of those who observe, those who walk or those who seek to isolate themselves. But also when these are missing, they act as a nest for animals and birds. The intervention seeks the harmonious coexistence with the environment and the dialogue with it. The goal is not the development of the region, nor its promotion. It is a gentle gesture concerning the units and groups that chose to be in the area.

 The design logic includes the possibility of deterioration and corrosion. Constructions are parts of the landscape whose materials work such as sand, soil, stone and river trees that are transformed by time, weather and wind. The form of the scattered constructions turned out to look more like sculptures placed in the space. They include observation and accommodation, in different parts of the forest and at different scales, functions that serve the activities that take place in the area.
