2. UR BAN NATUR E s, Museum Island BERL I N Summer rsemester 2012 Students: Vasiliki Bourli & Julia G채ckle Supervisor: Christine Guerard Faculty of Landscape Architecture Technische Universit채t Berlin
Urban natures were defined in this project as different layers (e.g. nature, streets, electric power supply infrastructure, motorized traffic, people) that are interrelated and create one unique body: the city. Quite often, urban continuity is interrupted by elements that for a specific reason are steadily repeated in a specific area and/or for a specific time. We defined these elements as urban islands and were looking for ways to treat a concrete urban island in the center of Berlin, in order to ensure urban continuity. The examined area is a physical island on the river Spree identified as an urban island not only because of the water surrounding it, but also because of its special architecture and uses: a great share of Berlin’s museums can be found there and approximately one third of the island is occupied by old soviet-style sky-scrapers, a typical dominant architecture of the past, aiming to provide mass housing. A walk on the Museum Island reveals many problematic aspects from the point of view of urban planning: cul-de-sacs blocking movement flows, the disorientating and confusing partition of the area into sub-islands, the ‘disappearance’ of free space because of its frequent enclosure by walls, and many undesigned and undefined areas as remnants of past urban landscapes. These problems aggravate the island’s major problem: the absence of public life and public space, in spite of its wide unbuilt open areas. Our vision was to stimulate the use of these areas and set the conditions for a vivid public space on the island. To achieve this, we employed different materials depending on time and place. Thus, our intervention was dynamic and changed shapes, colors and materials in a day, or year. In this sense, some spaces were e.g. converted into green areas, but only during the spring-summer period. Following nature’s example we made the same with color, fire and light. Thus, we provided light interventions for warm summer nights in order to encourage the use of public space, colorful interventions for white, snow-covered winter days, and fire interventions for cold winter nights.

3. IBA BE RLI N 2020 – PLAC E TO EXC HANGE Winter semester 2011/12 Students: Vasiliki Bourli & Stephan Schmidt Supervisors: Xenia Kokoula & Gesa Königsstein Faculty of Landscape Architecture Technische Universität Berlin
This project was designed under the principles of IBA Berlin 2020, an international exhibition of urban planning projects and concepts in order to face the political and social challenges of contemporary cities. IBA’s concept, reflected in every aspect of our project, is sustainable city densification with inhabitants’ participation and action on local level, aiming to have impacts also on the regional level. To systemize our work, we created a reference system, in which the specific characteristics of the voids, where our interventions could be implemented, were described: small-scale empty plots around the ring metro line, which are used as passages by the neighbors during the day. After creating our reference system, we focused on two of these plots. Our main idea was to convert them from passing-spaces into staying-spaces, where the exchange of ideas and knowledge becomes possible and inhabitants learn to use urban space in an autonomous and responsible way. We deliberately minimized the planner’s involvement in order to give space to inhabitants’ involvement and to maximize participation and free action. Our intention was to stimulate action and promote the reclaiming of the city, rather than to design uses and related spaces. Our concept was to maintain the empty space open, but fill it with different temporal projects, which can be chosen by the users from a catalogue of projects or be initiated based on their own ideas. Such projects may include small neighborhood gardens, a market, collective picnics, cooking lessons or other uses. What we provide is a network of infrastructure as a platform, on which different projects are implemented, a participatory strategy designed for different phases of our intervention and the initiation of a new stakeholder, the voidmaster, who is in charge of the continuity of the projects, as well as of the void’s well function and the maintenance of its infrastructure.
S
REFERENCE SYSTEM: TRANSIT AREAS ALONG THE RING
1. RING The ring line surrounds the centre of Berlin and divides the city in innenand außenring areas. Along it the urban fabric frays and many voids and other places with different potentials (i.e. abandoned buildings) are found on this zone. As a result, this area is on the edge of city development and many of current concepts and projects designed in Berlin focus on it.
2. TRANSIT The voids included in the reference system are being daily crossed by hundreds of users. As they are always located near an S-bahn station, people walk through them in hurry, to reach their goal (S-bahn station). Thus, they are nodes of transmission between the neighborhood (local level) and the city (regional level).
3. INVISIBLE LIFE As the result of their use as transit areas, the voids keep a hidden side. Whereas people cross them rapidly, other activities take also place, though without being noticed. They are discrete, hidden or totally merged to the scene of the void that no one is distracted by them. This life the usually is associated with informality and happens in the dark, at night.
4. IN URBAN FABRIC The voids on the reference system are holes in a dense urban fabric. Thus, they function as stops in a structure of blocks and at the same time they accept all the influences of urban life and are the basis of another layer of it.
5. SCALE The scale of the voids on the reference system, is similar to the scale of the other blocks.
6. PROXIMITY TO avenues The voids are proximal to main avenues of Berlin. This provides them with some special qualities and characteristics such as strong limits towards the avenues, noise but also connectivity on a local or regional level.

B ERLI N I S A GR EEN MON ST ER – GROPI USSTAD T Winter semester 2010/11 Students: Eduardo Barros, Vasiliki Bourli, Alex Garcia Gadea, Hugo Guiomar, Roman Streider Supervisors: Prof. Jörg Stollmann, Sandra Bartoli, Mathias Heyden Faculty of Urban Development & Urbanization Technische Universität Berlin
Subject of the presented project was a new ‚reading’ of Berlin through its unbuilt areas, which can offer a new perspective for the city’s future. The research was mainly concentrated on the identification of decayed, abandoned or unused areas that currently fragment the city and the development of relevant strategies for their integration, with the aim to create a vivid and multifunctional urban landscape that promotes public realm and a happy city life. My study was on Gropiusstadt, an area designed according to modernist principles by the architect Gropius that today suffers multiple social problems clearly reflected on public space. Obsolete modernist ideas resulted in a not densely inhabited area with bush occupying a great part of it. Notwithstanding the dominance of its presence, inhabitants consider the bush as an empty area where local criminal and informal activities find shelter. To discover these, we interviewed a multitude of inhabitants and carefully researched the bush looking for rubbish-findings, in order to reveal the activities taking place there. Moreover, we identified the main stakeholders met there and we made a categorization of targeted groups, taking into consideration age, social and economic status. We mapped our findings and decided to intervene on local and neighborhood level. Our basic ideas implied respect for the stakeholders’ identity and the activation of the ‚empty’ bush area for a densification of the urban web and social networks. The particular needs of the different groups were strictly respected and met through related spaces. Furthermore, it was important to us to mix the different groups, as one of the identified problems was the fragmentation of the social fabric because of the absence of relations and understanding among the different stakeholders. Finally, we introduced new stakeholders (e.g. commuters) that would respond to the political will for Gropiusstadt’s development by the regional Berlin government and refresh the area’s resources. This was tricky to handle. It was clear to us that introducing new stakeholders, especially wealthy ones, could lead to gentrification. However, we decided that taking the political will into consideration and carefully designing the limits of development, this could be an opportunity rather than a threat. Our intervention had the form of a spine passing through the whole area, on which integrated different spaces address the needs of all identified stakeholders. Then, we employed our findings and imagination to create prototypes of such spaces.

5. WI N E RY W ITH GUESTHOUSES I N K AVALA, GREEC E Diploma Thesis Summer semester 2008 Students: Vasiliki Bourli & Kostas Papazikos Supervisor: Panos Kokkoris Democritus University of Thrace
The project presented here is a winery with guesthouses and an administration building. For each of these uses it was created different building typologies. Thus, we came up with an industrial building in accordance with the needs of wine mass production. Moreover, we created an administration tower, which included uses as reception, café and restaurant. Its dominating form made a reference to the traditional wineries and their “château”. Our last typology was the guesthouses, which are lower buildings, adjusted to the human scale. Our vision was to create a small community of visitors, winery workers and wine amateurs who would live there periodically and share their passion for wine production. In order to achieve this we provided many shared places, e.g. common yards that would promote the creation of social relationships. The overall concept for the winery was structured over an existing track, which inspired us the idea to respect as much as possible the interventions already done from previous users. Moreover, we wanted to give someone the opportunity to have a complete overview of wine production process. For this reason, we created a route based on the traces of the initial track and located all the uses along it. By using alternating materials, light and shadow, roofed and outdoor structures and motion on different levels we managed to create a dynamic landscape.

6. ELE ME N TARY SCHOOL IN X ANT HI , GREEC E Summer semester 2004 Students: Vasiliki Bourli & Christina Sarantaki Supervisor: Tasos Biris Democritus University of Thrace
The project is elementary school with an “open” character towards the community. The “open school” concept has been a field of wider consideration during the last decades and led to redefine the relationship between school and community. This consideration converges towards the enrichment of school utilizations and activities beyond the “strictly” educational ones, so that the school environment contributes and jointly configures the communal life. Thus, the building program is required to integrate new types of spaces, while the outdoor playground areas are transformed into free play and sports activity areas. In the context of this approach we organize our solution around a “heart”, a passageway where all the school areas are attached. The created building volume at both sides of the passageway is divided into six distinct cubes, each referring to one grade. All social activities of the school itself, and many of the neighborhood, are accumulated within this “heart”.
