This diploma thesis aims to study and create a conspiratorial space. A redefinition of the erotic space is attempted through the prism of horror elements. The concept of a secret, forbidden and dangerous space is being explored.
Georges Bataille in his work mentions that shame and guilt are very important elements of eroticism, therefore prohibition and transgression are universal practices – in most societies. The places in which the manifestations of modern eroticism are isolated are heterotopias according to Foucault. These heterotopias are increasingly necessary in today's societies.
This project is about designing a nightclub, which emerged from studying the work of Edgar Allan Poe. Combining the horror elements of Poe's short stories with the erotic dimensions that are sometimes revealed if one studies the situation separately, a very interesting combination of functions emerged.
The site that was selected played a very important role in the development of the project. A yard of abandoned buses and containers was chosen, which is located outside the city of Larissa, to which one can only access by car. So it is a reuse of unusual materials and shells, as no concrete is used and all the spaces result from the assembly of buses and containers. Through the aesthetics of decline and abandonment, the experience of conspiracy is enhanced.
