This thesis proposes the creation of a public vocational training and lifelong learning center dedicated to Agricultural Development and Innovation in Aridaia. The region of Aridaia serves as a strategic hub for intense agricultural activity within the Municipality of Almopia. However, the lack of specialized, modern technical knowledge and the necessity to adapt to new technologies hinder the full development of the primary sector. The establishment of this public facility aims to upgrade agricultural education by offering targeted theoretical and practical training to vocational students, young farmers, and local producers. Concurrently, the center operates as an open social and educational hub for the wider community, hosting participatory workshops, training seminars, and public awareness initiatives. By bridging applied knowledge with production, the proposal seeks to boost the local economy, retain the youth population in rural areas, and facilitate a smooth transition of local agriculture toward sustainable practices in the face of the climate crisis. Ultimately, the architectural proposal attempts to transform Aridaia into a modern, accessible, and outward-looking hub that responds directly to the everyday needs of the region.
