Thousands of years ago, people’s need to interpret how the world was created along with the earth, the sky, the sea or the universe and the need too explain the natural phenomena led to the formationof mythology. The course of this thesis’ dissertation starts with the interest that Pelio presents which could not be missed from the magical world by the Greek mythology. With target the imprint of the senses which provoke the four basic myths of the region, four constructions were created along the path of centaurs in Portaria.
The path in its total distance is half a kilometer and it is chosen because of its location and fairy-tale morphology.
After continuous visits and study, the precise points that are suitable for the constructions - interventions were finalized in order to structure in cooperation with the path, a kind of an unconventional museum. Therefore, a few meters from the beginning of the pathwalk, one will meet Argo - a construction based on the Argonautical expedition which was organized and set out from Pelio with Jason as captain. The construction uplifted from the walking level with simultaneous view of the Pagasetic gulf as well as the path.
Down the road, Thetis is placed on an idyllic spot right next to the water as it is suitted to a nereid. It is a contruction consisted of perpendicular and horizontal woods with the horizontal ones being movable, therefore, allowing both the game and the relaxation as it transforms into a seat. The continuous movement works as a reminder of the transfigurations of the nereid in order to get away from Pelias.
Centaurs are next with the emphasis placed on the element of danger, as they were known being violent creatures representing the negative aspect of nature. At the point where the path becomes quite narrow, a wooden structure is placed above the walkers head, limiting even more the passage through.
At the end of the walk, where the surroundings are obviously tranquil, Chiron is placed. This is a structure in a form of a seat that reminds us of the cave of a special centaur - that of a healer - Chiron.
