This Diploma Thesis, which is in continuation of my Final Research Topic, focuses on the deserted village of «Palios Platanos» which is faced by me, as a landscape that leads to continuously transformations as time passes by. So, adjustments of new uses of land, management of their interacting relations as much as the evaluation of different degrees of intervention are attempted by identify already existing dynamic systems-areas (ruins, olive tree fields)
My Diploma Thesis proposes of an alternative way of return in the devastated landscape and contact with the nature. In a landscape that continuously changes as time passes by, the design being proposed and the degrees of intervention is judged more effective than the conventional ways of maintenance and renovation; methods that are followed in most same cases.
These conventional ways propose also freezing of time in a state of “lust for the past” [parelthontolagneia] ignoring the existing qualities of landscape and the possibility of coping with big and abrupt changes. The final aim of this proposal is to redefine the relation of the person with the devastated landscape and its contact with the nature.
Intervening on elements of landscape that continuously converting and supplying with new uses, is revealed to us a dynamic system that balances between the order and the disarray. In this way the space and the time constitute an integral total, while it is revealed that such a devastated landscape functions as a background that not only entertains incidents, but also causes him.
