DESIGN CONCEPT
PUBLIC ROOF TERRACE / HANG OUT SPOT
My proposal adds a homogenous structure that generates public space on
multiple levels at the heart of Athens. To emphasize the building’s public
character, its homogeneity stands in contrast to the diverse city fabric CREATIVE HUB
surrounding it. As such, it becomes a backdrop against which the rich and
varied urban life can ensue.

STRATEGIES TOWARDS GERANI FOOD COURT
