Christina Varvogli Urban Designer | Planner Portfolio SAMPLE

ABOUT ME

I personally believe that urban planning and urban design are two meanings that are related to each other, even though they refer to different scales of design. However both scales, along with the significant role that development has, provide a holistic approach which is needed in order to elaborate succesful interventions in the contemporary urban culture. This portfolio is consisted of a selection of projects that were elaborated and designed during my academic studies in the fields of urban planning and urban design. Each project represents a scale of design, varying from the detailed scale to that of strategic planning.

A GRAMMAR OF THE GRID MARCH URBAN DESIGN PROJECT THE BARTLETT | UCL

The character of Messina and Reggio Calabria is indelibly marked by a history of destructions and reconstructions, of which the grid is the cipher. The project explores the possibility to understand and react to the legal and illegal economical, political and social processes that constitute the two cities defining a grammar of the grid. Decoding

the characteristics of the constitutive element of the urban structure, the block, the project proposes a strategy to manipulate its three-dimensional spatial configurations in order to rethink the distinction between public and private spaces, in light of the contemporary living/working conditions.

EVOLUTION of the urban block A number of basic factors that affect space quality and openess determine the typologies that are found in both cities of Messina and Reggio Calabria.

typologies on the grid The repetition of these typologies in the urban grid creates possibilities either for the use of the open space or the corridors. The different typologies manage to shape characteristic areas in both cities.

ADDING, CUTTING AND LINKING The adding and cutting intend to keep the housing capacity constant, so if a part of a block is cut, it should be added at another point or another block. The linking reexamines the way by which private, public and common spaces are accessed.

URBAN GRIDDED As the grid adapts on the city in its three dimensional form, it creates a clear distinction between the public and the private, the ‘used’ and ‘unused’ space of the city, the fills and the gaps.

VERTICAL COURTYARD

VERTICAL courtyard The implementation of the three dimensional grid in the inner coutryard of the block enhances the open common space of the block and creates new possibilities for housing and social interaction on a higher level.

THE INTERVENTION The courtyard of the block is the basic element and the gap is the empty space that is going to be filled by ‘adding’. By cutting a part of the block, the courtyard becomes accesible from the public.

block section the grid is filling the gap by reaching the maximum height of the block. As the structure is adapting on the existing building, the grid is ‘unfolding’ in order to create the circulation.

URBAN SHELTER The grid becomes not only a part of the block, but of the city as well; in that case the common blends with the public, enriching the potentialities of the blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open space.

THE INTERVENTION By cutting two buildings and creating entrances on the groundfloor, a typical block with a courtyard is transformed into a crossroad of linking. The accessibility of the block enhance the public character of the block.

block section the gridded shelter becomes the frame that represents the empty three dimensional space of the block.

common frame The structure is adjusted on the existing building in order to define the blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries and create gates that will highlight its basic element; the corridor

the intervention A typical linear block with a corridor has the potentiality to be become the base for the common. By cutting the gates of the block and adding the structure on the blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher level, it become the common frame of the block.

block section the units are actually cubes adapted on the grid that play with the filled and open parts of the structure.

common frame The structure is adjusted on the existing building in order to define the blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries and create gates that will highlight its basic element; the corridor

THE INTERVENTION The courtyard is freed by ‘cutting’ the building that occupies it, while an existing gap is filled by ‘adding’ the structure, but at the same time keeping the groundfloor open. The common is replacing the cut building while it highlights the second entrance of the block.

block section The two identical buildings are exceeding the highest level of the block in order to highlight the existing block. In that way they manage to define the highest level that the block can have.

Planning

NAOUSSA: TOWN OF OLD AND NEW SYNTHETIC WORKSHOP OF URBAN PLANNING: URBAN PLANS AND IMPLEMENTATION STUDIES SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING | AUTH This project aimed to the understanding of the conduction of an urban plan. The case study for this project was the town of Naousa, which is located in Imathia, Central Macedonia. The basic goal of this case study was to set the spatial organization model of Naousa, in order to promote and control the issue of urban development.

PLAN AND BASIC GOALS The plan proposes a new planning unit which will have a new centre and will be connected with Naoussa’s main centre. Main parts of the plan are also

BROWNFIELD REGENERATION STRATEGY: THE CASE OF THESSALONIKI DIPLOMA PROJECT SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING | AUTH

Nowadays, the complexity of the urban phenomena and the amplified role of the urban centers have brought urban policy back to the agenda and are synchronized with the contemporary planning trends and issues of environmental and social importance. This complexity becomes more apparent in the internal parts of the cities in different ways. One of the most characteristic examples is the tendencies of abandonment that exist in the cities’ internal parts. The tendencies of abandonment are combined with the tendencies of expansion towards the “spare” (in terms of the built-up area) suburban areas, constituting a good example of this complexity. Moreover, a further issue that seeks for solutions is the problematic exploitation and administration of the urban area, as well as its continuous brownfields background Below the Industrial development during the 20th century was mainly acitve on the city’s boundaries (purple). Camps on the western and sounthern parts of the city appear as ‘black holes’ in the city’s urban tissue.

expansion. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, we turn to the already existing built-up urban areas and to the best possible exploitation of the cities’ historical parts. This turn constitutes a comprehensive policy of the contemporary urban planning, that is called “urban regeneration”. All the above issues are examined in the case of Thessaloniki, a city that contains a large number of unexploited and abandoned areas (brownfields). These areas were created either because it was necessary to specify their use in the city’s urban tissue throughout time or because a random development came out. This development was formed, among many reasons, because the city needed infrastructure immediately but mainly because there was no organized urban planning.
