flow UP- URBAN DESIGN IN ATHENS

The suggestion is based on two axes of intervention with the first one being the Koumoundourou Street square and the second one being the three blocks that are adjacent to the Sarri Street. 

A basic intention is to link the square and the Sarri Street through three blocks that belong to the area of intervention. This connection will be achieved with the opening of some ground floors of some the most modern buildings there are in the area. 

The intention of the interventions in these three blocks is to give the feeling of an old neighborhood with small-scale configurations and appropriate vertical configurations wherever this is allowed (behind the facades of some modern buuldings).

In this square there is the intention to integrate a variety of activities to attract groups of people of different age and social status. Such activities are different kinds of games, sports, culture, ultivation and accommodation, part of which are the concept of reading, socializing and eating (individually or in groups).

Items of interest to be included in the whole operation are the element of light, because the square does not have sufficient levels of illumination, as well as the wakening of the senses through the use of water, light and different colors, materials and odors.
