An elemental approach to Evripidou Street

An experiment in how elements of architecture (windows,floors,balconi es,ceilings,corridors,etc.) might be manipulated to tackle an urban area_ Supervisor: Manfredo Di Robilant In collaboration with:Karali Natalia,KwnstantoulaAthina University of Thessaly - Department of Architecture Postgraduate program_Design Seminar

In this project we started from the element of the shop window and more specifically the frame of the window. Observing that the frame as it is has no utility, we tried to invert this situation by extruding it, thus giving it space to become a new functional showcase. Also, the mobility and rotation of the structure can lead to different typologies in the street. For example, the rotation of the frame on the ground can lead to a new urban object and its levitation to a new urban ceiling. Our new modular frames allow the products to still be desplayed on the sidewalk, but with a mutual strategy. Moreover, they can be manipulated according to the needs of the store. In this way, we aim to keep the peculiar character of Evripidou Street and enhance it. Different stores of the same category can easily be recognized from the different colours of the frame.
