This is a building in the city centre of Volos, to the contribution of roads Dimitriados and Solonos. The users chosen, as well as the allocation of uses in this building, is non-conventional: the building was designed to house the lives four young women.
In this work it is attempted to revisit the issue of dwelling, through the renegotiation of occupancy and time of their inhabitants. The final result not only sheltering/serves the 4 users, but also all the people in their lives (friends, comrades, family), and all of their needs as well.
It is an attempt to design for a modern social organization, finally proposing a model of enlarged occupancy: users of building is not strictly 4 people, but their number varies. Users are potentially dozens, passed in building using premises and shredding the time within it.
The program underpins this situation: workplaces, rooms, spaces entertainment gymnastic etc. are an open invitation to a large number of persons at any time. In addition, inhabiting and work is two situations which disperse and mix in the building, in an attempt to renegotiate both occupancy and diffusion of space and time of the users.
The form resulting after various experiments. Though choreographies of the gap and of the full, volumes were born, volumes that are porous, self-sufficient in principle, unaffected by their environment in the beginning, later the urban fabric sculptures them, in a way that at the end urban fabric and building are tethered with common ideas and concepts: the gap and the full as two in dissociable information of space, the porous, which refers both in space and in time.
The idea of storyboard is involved in architectural design by early: the building is designed from the outset for Maro, Effie, Marian and Alexandra, experiments that form space were based on moments of the lives of these four women. The final result is the imprint of these highlights and constitutes a complicated form/shell open to much more people.
