/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The hill of Lycabettus is one of the three hills that surround the ancient city of Athens, along with the Acropolis and the Filopappou hill. It’s crucial position in the body of the city - which allows it to function like a periscope- recommends an important green space. The relationship between the hill and the city has been lost due to the fact that the city is over built. The subject of this project is to identify the role of Lycabettus in the Attiic landscape and to create a public space, that represents the entrance of the city towars the hill. This open space must restore the relatioship between the hill and city and must integrate in the urban tissue. The main design outline uses the countour lines as the basic design tool for the formation of the new terrain, which consists of different plateus that elevate the visitor towards the Hill. The terrain is folding in a way that produces shelters, ramps, an entrance boundary and a building at the end of the promenade towards the Lycabettus Hill. The promenade is created through a specified path that is leading to Lycabettus Hill. Walking up the Hill, the visitor can run into three resting stops, where meeting points and commercial functions are located.
