Stepney 2080

To defend the indefensible city 3+1 stor ies for Stepney A great part of London is built on the natural floodplain of the Thames. The risk from tidal flooding is expected to increase as a result of the gradual sea level rise due to global warming. At the edge of the floodrisk area is where we find the site of our project, Stepney. ‘’To Defend the Indefensible City’’ is an experimental tetralogy of fictional diaries which refers to the area of Stepney in a period of 40 years from 2020 to 2080. What we tried to investigate in our thesis is how through the shift of the designers’ perspectives towards a wider platform of actors, deeply influences and mutates the urban decision-making. 2009 | Master Thesis | London

SARCHA’s research team worked in Gerani neighbourhood exploring the urban accumulation of city resources. The data collected was classified in three categories, human, physical and natural resources and transferred onto multilayered maps. The 243 buildings in the (10.9 Ha) area belong to more than 3.753 private owners and present a distinct vertical differentiation of uses. Our Resources Reset Proposal aims to recombine the area’s building stock, human potential and manufacturing tradition with innovation to create a small scale production hub. To this end, SARCHA proposes the administration of resources ‘in common’ and puts forward the appropriate tools for the active involvement of inhabitants and owners alike.

POLYPOLIS an agonizing game SARCHA (non-profit organisation) Polypolis takes as its object the city intended as a pool of resources that are unequally distributed among players at the start of the game. Its players explore the potential of the ‘in common’ administration of resources by continually renegotiating attachments among themselves and with the materiality of the city’s various layers. The structuring of the game discards fast track success in favor of breathless resources resetting through the continuous reassociation of players. This is an intense embodied and emotional reflection on the current bleak city conditions in Athens and beyond. The Polypolis game was conceived as a testing ground for sarcha’s CCR: CityCommonResource research theme. The game is currently in a state of development and playing it in a number of venues as part of the testing process. 2011 | Professional | Athens

Arsenali Vecchi National competition for the renewal of the west docks in the venetian harbour The competition carries the title â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Reception-Starting Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The focal point of our proposal is a route - an extended public space with a start and an end, with centers of attraction for the visitors, with a network of small scale green spaces, with points for rest, with new entrances towards and from the project area. All these different networks and groups converse with each other having as a reference point the West and East Docks. The new public space enters into the monumental complexes integrating them in its route. The visitor comes closer to the city, learns for its past and its intense present, while the permanent resident finds a new space to express himself and reconnect with the city. 2010 | Competition | Heraklion

Reinventing the hill Regeneration of Bomonti area in Istanbul The purpose of the project is the urban regeneration of Bomonti, a post-industrial area in Istanbul. We explore design decisions at both a strategic and at a more detailed level of urban regeneration. We propose a network of public transport and green open spaces that reach the Bomonti hill where we design a new green open space with vegetable gardens for the residents of the area. On the Bomonti hill, our program concentrates on the preser vation of some of the existing uses as well as a program of new ones in order to attract new and old residents, including a community center, a small university campus, an open space with commercial activities, and a new residential area with a mixture of affordable housing options. The main aim of the project is to recreate the whole area with the effort to unify new and old residents around a single community vision. 2008 | DipArch | Istanbul
