This diploma project addresses the redevelopment of the former Agia Triada campsite in Thessaloniki (1960), a historically significant coastal site that once constituted the area’s most important holiday resort. Until recently, the campsite was under the ownership of TAIPED, remaining in a state of degradation and fragmented use. Drawing from the collective memory of the Aktion refreshment pavilion-an important landmark for both the campsite and the local community-and the organized beach, the proposal redefines the waterfront as a public, open, and active landscape. At the core of the composition lies the interweaving of sport and landscape, structured around a floating wooden platform for water sports and a network of soft pathways that connect athletic, educational, and collective activities. The proposal is based on reversible constructions, sustainable materials, and the adaptive reuse of existing structures, aiming to restore the relationship between land and sea, as well as the local habitat. The primary objective is to reactivate the site as a social and environmental hub, repositioning Agia Triada within the network of vibrant coastal places.
