The architectural proposal of this thesis, concerns the management of the abandoned tobacco warehouse of the National Tobacco Organization, which is located in the center of Volos. Our theoretical framework is initially based on recordings and interpretations that we produced through a group of students named Center for Architectural Hysteria and Other Stuff (2020). For its design, we draw inspiration on the reuse of materials from abandoned buildings and from the city's stock and rely on the construction techniques we have mastered from our experience over the years at the Wood and Metal Processing Lab of the Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly. As designers, we feel the need to consume (building) in a controlled and sensitive way. In our opinion, the architectural qualities that we are interested in examining in this thesis are based on the processing and reuse of materials, in a way that minimizes our ecological footprint, to the extent that our -for now- know-how allows us to do so. As a design principle, we set intermediate scale structures, which we take care to place on each floor in such a way that they are always at a distance from the perimeter walls and the frame of the tobacco factory. By extension, we propose that the building be managed by an organized architectural collective, interested in engaging both in the self-production of its laboratory space and in the city's individuals who may be interested in training and engaging in small-scale construction. Furthermore, in order for the space to incorporate more needs beyond making, we propose that the building be more than a workshop, but an open cultural space in which people can enjoy and express themselves freely. Thus, the open structure we propose includes complementary programs such as a theatre stage, dance, exhibition and seminar spaces, spaces for simple discussions and symposia, as well as accessible reading rooms, referring to those people interested in experiencing a participatory environment.
