The thesis is a proposal for an agrarian settlement focusing on social housing.The project occupies an undeveloped rural area near the lake Pamvotida in Ioannina city, with an uknown future use due to legal delays.

 The settlement seeks to propose a low-cost housing model, with opportunities to expand it through the participation of the residents in the construction process. At the same time, it seeks to be an extension of the existing city in full connection with the pre-existing rural landscape, which is properly utilized to nourish, mobilize and unite.

 The housing is organized in neighborhoods, where we meet the initially ground-floor houses, while two different typologies are proposed for both of them. The typologies of the houses, the construction materials, the possibility of modification or expansion, the individual/common ownership of arable land, are all parts of a mechanism that works for personal mobilization and expression, which aims at the practical claim of space and opportunities.

 Through the proposal, the importance of cooperation between the residents of the new settlement as well as those with the locals who live nearby is referred, making it clear that cooperation outweighs any social difference that could stand in the way of the higher purpose of the proposal.

 In addition to those above mentioned, in order for participatory practices to be managed, a building cooperative center is proposed, while additional public uses added to the program provide health, education, sports and trade services.

 The goal is for the built to be included in the natural lansdcape and vice versa.

 For the limits between old and new shall be eliminated.
