"Philippi Park" - Protecting and strengthening the Cultural Landscape through Spatial Interventions

Published on Jun 6, 2023

PARK PHILIPPI

In response to an open call for a Landscape Architecture Competition in Greece and Cyprus in 2021, a design proposal, that was produced by the organization’s Architecture Team, won First Prize in the category of Urban Masterplan, addressing the following matters. Taking water as a key element, a framework of holistic approaches was set giving emphasis to competitive advantages and heritage highlights of Philippi. This paper traces the design process and framework suggesting structural changes as starting points towards the activation of social, cultural, historical, and environmental changes throughout the area. The area of interest and its relevance to recent and future developments is introduced, followed by a description of the design methodologies, and the design aspects of the landscape and planning proposal.
