Farasi is a fanzine that is dedicated to the earth, the air, the water, the mountain or the sea. Etymology: arabic ةشارفfarasha, the butterfly, as the form of the farasha resembles an adult butterfly. The butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. It is born in the shape of an egg, and when it becomes a caterpillar (larva) its glands excrete thin layers of silk, building a cocoon in which it turns into a chrysalis. Emerging from the filamentous shell it takes the form of an adult butterfly with wings. Butterflies are herbivorous and most of them show cases of sexual dimorphism.
zine
Fanzine is a form of publication associated with counterculture and subculture, with public but minority and non-dominant discourse. As a rule, cultural institutions and educational organizations were not official supporters but were the main sites of dissemination and production, even if this was performed in parasitic terms.
farasi
My Farasi picks up from the ground what I have swept and what the wind, feet and shoes have brought: dirt, leaves, crumbs, shoots, dog hair and our own, pieces of paper, cement, dust and wool, because each one sweeps its own garbage, garbage of its own place and home - and each sweep presupposes a system and close observation of the floor. Where do we throw away what our farash collects?
Farasi.zineis published by the Laboratory of History, Theory and Conceptual Design of the Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly. In each issue of the first series, a person is invited to intervene through zine in the public sphere. Depending on the media used in each issue, it is distributed in different ways, as a digital archive or in print.

Innovation in Humanitarian Habitat
A place to call home?
Materializing shelters and emergency infrastructures as neighborhoods
The research laboratory "Sustainable Design & Built Environment" of the Department of Architecture of the University of Thessaly, in collaboration with the "Institute of Social Planning, Organizational Change, and Urban Development of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Northwestern Switzerland" , organize a student workshop, within the framework of preparation for participation in the "Innovation in Humanitarian Habitat" actions, organized by the "Shelter Research Unit of the Luxembourg Red Cross" together with the "Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology".
The student workshop will take place in Volos at 6-10/9/2023, with the contribution of an international interdisciplinary team of architects, urban planners, and humanitarian specialists.

- Respond to the climatic and geographical conditions of Sub-Saharan Africa (Sahel), respecting local culture, materials and building methods.
- To respond to the characteristics of the family structure of the region.
