It is a renovation of the old Xenia hotel in the city of Kozani that redefines the terms of diy (do-it-yourself) and assemblage. Given the de-lignitization of the city, our main project is the creation of a new form of tourism approach that will be based on the artistic activity of emerging creators. The new-look of this idea will be hosted by Xenia and through improvised changes, interventions, additions and some modifications of the secondary elements of the building, a new breath of life will be given to the abandoned hotel. In the design of the new complex, the terms of recycling, processing and renewal will be the main design axes. The purpose of this thesis is to find innovative ideas
and ways of transforming ruins within the limits of the urban fabric, starting with the “Xenia” hotel chain.
