Architectural and Urban Design in SKA (Athens' suburb)

area recognition
The urban space can be defined as a composition of volume and void in the urban tissue, blocks, public and private space, streets and communication axes and urban green spaces. This particular intervention aims to improve the quality of life and the urban environment including the implementation of complexes of collective housing in the urban tissue. The area we studied on is an enormous railway junction. These railway paths create multiple curved lines on the ground, separating the area in different parts. The suburban railway's technical demands create a strict border line that separates the space, increasing the sense of disorientation.
The proposal focuses on the reconnection of the space through a circular pedestrian route, reproducing the existing railway curve line and using the green urban space as a connecting element. In order to combine the local needs of a resident with those of a traveler we situate the public buildings in and around the circle and the zones of collective housing outside of it, following the engravings of the urban tissue.
