The following diploma thesis has as its task the creation of a new "boundary", as its title states, which will connect the historical industrial past with the new potential, within the protected settlement of the city of Ermoupolis, Syros.
More specifically, it aims, through the restoration and reuse of a former industrial shell, the Veltsos flour mill, with the aim of reintegrating it into the urban fabric, to highlight the importance of industrial heritage and the possibilities that its exploitation can offer today.
The construction of the industrial buildings envisaged the seamless bridging of large openings and their resistance to heavy loads due to heavy machinery, specifications that make these buildings suitable for public use.
Therefore, in the architectural proposal below, uses related to the optimal functioning of the University of the Aegean, of industrial design and cultural events that have been unfolding in recent years on the island, many of them through the voluntary contribution of students, are combined.
As a whole, the building will be a space open to the public, informing, interacting and influencing about the modern culture and the evolution of industry.
