SLOWMO
Community Centre for YeniBogaziçi (New Bosporus) also known as Agios Sergios in English is a large village near the ancient site Salamis, Northern Cyprus. . Before the conflict in Cyprus pre-1974 the village of Yeni bogaziçi was composed of both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot residents and was situated within the Larnaca district in the South of Cyprus originally named Aytotoro. The Yenibogaziçi Municipality was formally established in 1980, originally composed of the one main village; and by 2005 the other seven villages joined the Municipality to establish its current state today. In 2013, Yeni Bogaziçi became an international Cittaslow member, the first in the whole of Cyprus. While analysing the site, I was intrigued by the strong sense of community. The way the elderly people relaxedly interacted with each other inspired me and with this I came up with SLOWMO as a concept. SLOWMO is the acronym for Slow space, Local materials, Organic design, Wholistic design, Meaningful experience, Openness.
