The present Dissertation was prepared in the academic year 2020 - 2021 during the 10th Semester of the Department of Architecture and Engineering of the University of Thessaly. This Dissertation seeks the establishment of a new border between the “inside” and “outside” on the remnants of the working houses of Serifos, so that they can be reused, and ultimately, resettled. A gesture, a line in the form of fabric, operates like a garment to a naked body in order to embrace the new fragile limit; such a thin border, so easily changing, as the curtain which surrounds it.
Through this border, a kind of summer residence is being created combining elements of both usual residence and camping. The main feature of this settlement is the direct physical involvement of the tourist/resident of the ruin, since he is called to manage the net according to the Beaufort. It folds, opens, shrinks, hangs, creating its own personal spaces.
The design approach of the abovementioned intervention results from a conglomeration of elements capable of meeting the basic needs of the tourist. The humble architecture offers to the tourists, during their accommodation, a parallel contact with the ruin and the nature.
The purpose of this new type of tourism is the revitalisation of the abandoned buildings of the mining period of the area, utilizing the elements of nature, and especially the air.
