Li-terra

Our structural intervention is about the creation of a library in Patra, specially at the area that hosts the Archaeological Museum. We studied the topographic plan and especially the connection that happen between the buildings and the conditions- slits that surround them. We came to the conclusion the urban has some characteristics that remain unchanged over time. This characteristics at the specific topography are the roman bridge, villa of Fegus, the Archaeological museum, the agricultural school and the preserved building, The library becomes a public platform and creates connections and normalizes the rods by connecting the buildings with one another and while at the same time it interacts with the terrain and follows it.

PHAOS

The PHAOS of the building explores the relationship between the natural light and transparency. A rotating curtain wall blends with the existing building and creates curved surfaces that facilitate light penetration without distracting employees. It is located on 63 Madison Avenue. Our main aim was to reduce the carbon emissions of the building and make it energy efficient in order to compy with NYC’s Green New Deal goals. With the subtle handling of this light construction, we preserve the nature of the building as well as the way it fits with the surrounding area.

Topografical Plan.|

The new facade is based on the existing grid. Using the lines as a starting point, we experimented with the shapes that can be created through it . By applying the appropriate scale throughout the grid, we sought to have the maxum amount of the sunlight the rotating panels.

The curved surfaces create a more intense reflection angle of the sunrays. This leads to optimal lighting, especially at the lower levels of the building.

METEIKASMA

Meteikasma (=Afterimage) is a short visual footprint that appears after the end of the excitatory cause, the original image. The excitatory image in this case is found in the Neoclassical trilogy of Athens. The synthetic process consists of the three levels of awareness in Freud’s model_Unconscious, Preconcious and Conscious. The unconscious is the timeless mnemonic layers of the place that we do nor know if they exist, the preconscious is fragments of place, constants of memory, which compose the character of place. The conscious is the present, the place at a given time .

Through noetic sections in the mnemonic layers of the city, with the use of grid, the unconscious penetrates into the consious. The emerging reality , the fragments of the memory and the present place constitute a new version of dwekking, a meteikasma, a distorted image of the place from the past of the place itself.

Hydroroof

Studying the area map, we examined the possibility of the existence of characteristic points of memory, which we translated as reference points of our intervention. These elements of memory or other non-changing aspects of the urban fabric consist of Hadrian’s aqueduct and Lycabettus.

We took advantage of the strong liquid element of the aqueduct and decided to create a wellness and relaxation center both privately and publicly. The aspects of our public intervention are mainly evolving on the roof of the building block on Patriarchou Ioakeim Street, where the visual connection with Lycabettus is achieved.

The building block connects with a underground passage towards the Hadrianq’s aqueduct. In the way there is a wall of pipes, that water supply our center. The combination of history and functionality helps to come out to surface hidden or even unknown historical passages. Redefining a new reality.

The aim of the project is to increase quality of living and making important circulations with a lineal way. The building block becomes public and every owner of the apartment enjoys the liquid element in the urban place.

TOPOGRAPHY.

Even though Elaionas is a nodal point for A glected and the residence have no place to area is well-known for its noise pollution industrial place. The vegetable market of because contradictory element with the ar with buying vegetables so we thought to c the consumption. Especially with the city l for its olive trees, it’ s hard to create a produ products. We needed a method to isolate com tion place, so we resorted to hydroponics. W was supposed to host not only the product routine for the residence of the area. The p at the realization of the organic farming,. In ed will also be used for the production. Th residence will be the olive tree forest, the

Athens at the same time is a very neescape from their daily routine. This n and the gas pollution as it is a very f Redi particularly got our attention, rea in which it is located. It has to do connect directly the production with like Elaionas even though it is known uction, which is supported at organic mpletely the product with the producWe created a hydroponic park, which tion but also a shelter away from the park provides tubes, which contribute n addition the lake that already existhe things that will be utilized for the e amphitheater and the Observatory.
