Between the urban and the architectural scale, this diploma project aims to study the installation of a creative hub on Piraeus Street in Athens, Greece.

Initially, we focused on the multiple readings of Piraeus Street on a historical base as well as an urban organization that permits the incorporation of heterogeneous elements in a complex architectural and urban tissue and treats them as essential parts of the collective memory and not as embarrassments. The program is based on the research about the interaction of the human body, the materials of each cluster and the user’s movements. The final goal is a building that serves both as a canvas to bring out users’ creativity but also as the starting point of a new network of creative industries on the site.
