Emergency Commons is a series of temporary occupations of existing structures in Athens that challenges the existing property divisions and the administration of space in the city. It consists of a combination legal, administrative and architectural protocols that attempt to construct an alternative property regime. The mechanism proposes a system of ownership, which is not based on individual property but on a shared understanding of owning, administrating and occupying space.
"Emergency Commons" is a thesis project developed at the March Urban Design at the Bartlett School of Architecture | UCL in 2014.
