The thesis design project is based on the creation of an agricultural activities centre at the section of Almyros and Efxeinoupolis. The area under study focuses on one city block between the two areas of 27 acres. The chosen section was considered ideal because it is the point where the two regions are joined and still remains untapped by the City Borough of Almyros.
With the use of a questionnaire completed by young children in the area, in relation to what they believe is missing from their city, led to the creation of a multiplex of different activities.
Taking into consideration the fact that the area under study covers an agricultural land, and in relation to the children’s need to learn how to cultivate the earth and produce its goods, we studied the creation of an entertainment centre in relation to the city’s agricultural life.
The centre ‘Playtime’, (recreation), will have as a purpose for children to combine play-time with the land’s cultivation. Teaching spaces, a café – bookstore, an amphitheater, a market where anyone can buy the products cultivated at the centre and other utilities are facilities occupying the interior spaces. The proposed centre’s surrounding area appears as a painting presenting a variety of delimited sections of land that the children themselves will be able to cultivate and in the course of time they will have the chance to see the development of their work.
