Project Description: 

The whole project resembles a woven carpet which is "torn up" by the attraction of three main factors:

  • The building of the Faculty Diplareiou that generates pressures of gravity, while
  • The junctions with adjacent roads create traffic flows and
  • Finally, the revelation of the underlying ancient walls as a particular tear, as a surgical incision.

 

In that way, a woven green carpet is formed as the new urban configuration.
