Thesis Project| Eleni Diamantouli | Prof. IRIS LYKOURIOTI | Architecture UTH, GR| At the first level, I'm presenting the theoretical concepts that concerned me, like autonomy, disobedience, degrowth, simplicity, autoconstruction, back-to-the-landers, rural life, reuse, craftsmanship, participatory architecture. Afterwards, there is a list of small-house typologies: permanent, semi- permanent, summer holiday, urban, provincial, suburban, located in the public sphere, on common land, private land, using off-grid technology, mobile, immovable, parked, under participatory design and construction. Finally, I selected a plot/ parcel located in Dasochori a -mainly male dominated- popular rural area in the Province of Thessaly, Greece for the case study. It is a record of my journey towards the invention of my micro-economy, ecology, return to nature and know-how.
