New Orleans Burgers is an inde-pendent, quick-serve restaurant concept that offers a unique burger menu in an environment with an up-scale vibe.During the process of understanding the client, we deduced the direction towards a modern version of the classic american style diner. The original style diner is narrow and elongated. In the traditional din-er floorplan, a service counter dom-inates the interior, with a prepara-tion area against the back wall and floor-mounted stools for the cus-tomers in front. There is a row of booths against the wall opposite to the counter.The space layout, determined by the elongated geometry of the premis-es, suggested itself, a similar ap-proach. Therefore, just a few feet passed the entry hall, the sidebar was treated as a large desk/coun-ter where the menu is printed on a concrete wall. Meanwhile in the

rear dining area, the guests are to be accommodated according to the classic seating arrangement of a train: On double opposite seats fac-ing each other across from a table. The dining area is covered by an in-dependent wooden installation that reminds us of a train wagon and suggests a friendly and welcoming environment. The alternation of texture: tile and concrete, metal, wood and white leather and the vintage green and yellow diner colours, stand out against the clean sobriety of a deep gray background. This neutral envelope of darkened ceilings and walls, is dotted with industrial-look-ing lamps.

Dioarchitects goal was to create a 60m2, American style, with an ur-ban feel coffee shop/cocktail bar/deli that allowed a relaxed environ-ment for people to enjoy their free time but also a meeting point for the neighboorhoods residents. Dio-achitects created a cozy but chic overall style with a touch of the in-dustrial feel while using reclaimed materials for an environmentally friendly approach.The corner position of the shop asked for an industrial style glass fassade with big openings, that makes the boundaries between in-door and public space less obvious and allows people to feel like being on the neighboorhoods square. This eco-friendly project is com-pleted with wooden shipping pallets to create interesting decoration and furnishings, while plasteboards are avoided, leaving the ventilations and structures bare. For the convenience of the consum-

er, but also in a view of the eco aspects, seats and tables were made of old shipping pallets, cof-fee sacks and bobbins. The pallets and the coffee sacks also remind us of the journey that coffee beans take from where they are grown to our delight.Furthermore, the bar and the wood-en deck are made from reused wood from concrete forms and all the metal structures are made by scraps of old selving.

The gardens physical expression is not polished, but rather appears to be quickly and randomly gathered together, a mixture of bobbin and shipping pallet furniture.

The subject of this thesis project is the reuse of an aban-doned elementary school on the street Dimofontos 49 in Pe-tralona of Athens. The new use of the building will be a hostel with art workshops and a small-scale exhibition.Main motivation for this choice, was our intention to deal with the issues of the re-use of buildings and their re-integration into the urban fabric, as well as of the collective ephemeral habitation in combination with the creation of art workshops with small-scale exhibition. These thematics constitute sepa-rate fields for research and study, and to achieve the combi-nation of them, we had to choose the appropriate area and building.

HOSTELSThe hostels are places that host young people, usually trav-elers who want a cheap ephemeral stay. The creation and operation of the hostels in Greece was provided for in Law 87 and was removed under the Law of 2002, probably from tourist accommodation owners pressures (large hotels, inns, etc.), that faced such accommodation as competitiveWe chose to design a hostel, knowing the lack of legislative that defines them, because we recognize the importance of the economic residence of young travelers. So our solution is not limited by specific regulations or laws relating hostels, as there are none. The regulations followed are the international ones.

REUSEVery often the use for which a space was designed and im-plemented, with the passage of time and for different factors every time (economic, social, architectural) is abandonedAlongside the modern architecture has focused on the produc-tion of new spaces with main priorities the maximum exploita-tion of the land and the design according to the prevailing architectural style of the era.

As a result of this choice is the lack of attention in the ex-isting built environment, whose proposed uses are no longer applied. So whether it is passed indifferently, either remains in its place as a picture of the past at best case scenario. A careful look at the urban environment reveals us contra-dictions, which at first sight are difficult to be answered by the architectural choises that are made. Abandoned buildings, empty industrial shells, unfinished buildings, ruins, each one because of different conditions (from the moving of their inhabitants to the changes of uses in the urban map) are interesting points in a city, whose need for housing and human services remains high. Reading the city as a present passage we see these empty buildings to find their place clumsily be-tween the lines of the urban grid.Consequently a strong challenge to solve is emphasized. The challenge to recover the no-use urban enviroment, which co-exists with vague terms next to the existing one. In a way we could say that a clear matter of economy of space is arising.Choosing the reuse and rehabilitation of buildings in the urban tissue is one of the many answers to this matter. Existing shells are rebuilt, restored and given back to the city, adapt-ed to the landscape, filling and enriching the urban space. Of course we do not believe that such choices automatically resolve each problem as the context in which they are applied is fluctuating and uncertain. But the choise of reuse and rein-tegration through change of use is gaining ground. The recent past of cities has proven it. We believe that we will see more frequently this option in the future, in light of increased life expectancies of buildings under the new EU regulations, qual-ity of materials, need for the economy of use of resources, and because of the limited availability of urban plots.The viability of a reuse plan is based on the following pa-rameters:1. The history of the building, especially if it has been charac-terized as preservable.2. The philosophy of the design approach.3. The adequacy of the systems (static-electrical).4. The economic viability5. The environmental parameters.6. Other factors (political, social).7. The active participation of stakeholders residents at differ-ent stages of the process

Finally, we believe that the city does not need more structuring but limited and carefull construction with the parallel use of the existing inactive built enviroment. As a result of that will be the increase of public, communal and social spaces. The new use regenerates not only the building itself but also the urban tissue .The urban revival through the meaningful reuse, adapted to the requested solution, is the future of urban ar-chitecture.

VISUAL ARTThe art movements in the middle of the last century such as lettrism, dada, pop art, the happenings organized by fluxus artists, combined with the aesthetics of advertising that was growing at that period, and particularly the need for overcom-ing of art as defined by the Situationist International, handed us a rich heritage of expressive means with characteristics from various cultures.Visual art, graffiti, street art, ephemeral installations, con-struction objects, shift of objects and advertisements, post-ers, stickers are a buildup of perceptions and intentions of these movements adapted to the urban environment. These new forms of art are located in an ocean of realities, interact-ing with them. Doubts, hopes, ideas of young people with cre-ation as vehicle, leave their imprint to the surface of the city. With reference center the urban space, they achieve to con-tain it and to be contained in it, producing again the todays environments. The neighborhood is a core of creation and in-spiration for artists, revealing the fluidity of relationships that structure the city during the very process of creation.The colors, materials and objects along with the smeared hands that bear them, are placed in such a neighborhood in Athens, aspiring to become a workshop for experimentation, as yet another milestone in the path of expressive means in these cities in the world.

The hostel is designed to accommodate mainly artists from around the world and from the province (not excluding of course other groups), who wish to visit Athens and also have the opportunity to create works during their stay. Therefore operates workshop and corresponding showroom for the pro-jects created in it. It is also intended that the workshop is open to the neighborhood to cover the expressive needs of residents.

The 77th Primary School at Yperionos and Dimofontos streets in Upper Petralona Athens was in May 1985 characterized as a historical monument, even though as a building it is not a monument or a distinguished work of art. It is a typical school building, architecture sample of the early 20th century, and is connected with the life of local residents.The Dimofontos Street is the main road and connects Thisseio with the regions Upper and Lower Petralona as the areas that extend down the street Kallirois.

The building is classified chronologically in the early last century and the property remains unknown. The volume, form and construction of the building reveal that it was built to host a school and it served this function up to 1977. The plot where it is built has a rectangular form. The main building ha also a rectan-gular form and occupies the 1/3 of the plot. The other 2/3 served as school yard. The outbuilding, which was the roofed gym, occupies a space of a few square meters (about 15m).

The main building has rectangular floor plans at both levels (ground floor and first floor). The classes are separated according to the typical arrangement of the period, ie corridor - classes. It is a symmetrical build-ing respect to the axis of the entrance. The symmetry is also applied in plan views as in facades.

Characteristically a section above the entrance floor protrudes and emphasizes the symmetry axis. As re-gards to construction the ground floor is bare stone-work while the first floor is plastered brickwork. It has sloping hipped roof covered with tiles. The entrance is emphasized by a later addition from concrete columns and slab, which is the first floors terrace.

building surveying

The major morphological features are the following:- The ground floor is bare stonework while the first floor is plastered and bears incised horizontal stripes in imita-tion masonry.- Plastered pilasters symmetrically deco-rate the facades of the building.- Cornices rove about the building at three places. The first is placed at the height of the mezzanine, the second above the pilasters and the third under the eaves. Thus clearly separates the building into three units, ground floor, floor and coverage.- Double windows with ratios 1: 2, create the lighting surfaces of the building. They have the upper part slightly curved (type of Renaissance) while the aprons creat recesses. Their panes (most of them are now damaged) interrupted by bars while the covers are French.- The entrance door is paneled and dec-orated with iron work.- The outbuilding is a simple rectangle with a hipped roof. It is stoned and the form does not have anything special.- The mantra surrounding the yard is simple masonry with height of about 2.5 meters.Externally and internally the main building is damaged by time and neglect, since the school has ceased to function in 1977. There are no serious static prob-lems. Only the outbuilding has presented serious crackings in stonework.

scenario

This is a hostel with visual arts workshops and small showroom. It will host visitors who will be able to work in workshops and present their creations in the show-room. These rooms are on the ground floor. At the same time it will be possible to occasionally attend ar-tistic courses in the workshops, covering partially the artistic creativity of the local people and reminding, in other words, of course, the old use of the building.

The exhibition space will extend internally and exter-nally of the building, while the visitors-artists will be possible by various means to shape the space as suits them. Regarding our synthesis, we tried the showroom to have a continuity and to be read from outside, even if there is not an outdoor exhibition at a given time.

A cafe will operate with a schedule that will not dis-turb the residents of the neighborhood and will serve both visitors and residents.The sleeping area is on the first floor, where there are the most private spaces and concern those living in the hostel. The sleeping area is a large single rectan-gular space which comprises 28 beds. The units are pairwise or per three beds in combination between them. It is processed to maintain the autonomy of each guest. In addition, the kitchen is also on the first floor, in direct relation to the sleeping area where the standard equipment is provided in order for the visitors to prepare their meal.Regarding the operating model we propose a self-management space by residents of the neigh-borhood, so as to work positively on several levels. As strengthening the local economy and employment of unemployed residents. The exact model of the hotel will designate the people who will maintain and run it. Revenue from visitors, bar, events and exhibitions will

be used for the maintenance of the building and for people who work there.

WHY PETRALONA

The area of Petralona fits our scenario because of the following reasons:1. It is in the center of the city while offering the qualities of a neighborhood2. It is attraction for the young people due to open spaces, squares and parks such as activities, festivals and screenings organized by the local assemblies.3. The neighborhood has stated its intention in the past to use the building with cultural characteristics4. Residents through popular assemblies and occupa-tions, actions, show that they are receptive to such projects,

NEIGHBORHOOD

The residents then expressed the need for a space with cultural characteristics. These characteristics are provided through this project with the workshops, the showrooms and the public square where it is possible to organize various events (theater, film screenings, debates, exhibitions, festivals). Residents now have identified a change in consistency and character of the neighborhood, which occurs from the many bars & cafs springing up in the streets around the square Mercouri and spread until Thisseio. The uses of our project give a different choice-pro-posal, compared with that of the bars that alter the character of the residential neighborhood.

In conclusion we believe that the use we chose adapt-ed to the characteristics and needs of the region and will be a space for dialogue. It enhances artistic activ-ity but also the educational, albeit to a lesser extent. It also stimulates the relationships among residents. And finally allow visitors to experience the meaning of the neighborhood, which has begun to disappear nowadays

Our original intention was to open the building to the neigh-borhood with the conversion of the school yard to public square. for this purpose we removed the perimeter fence of the courtyard and the small build-ing that housed used to roof the gym.

The dividing wall of the neigh-boring building created a hard front next to the square. We took advantage of that front to create a space of activities. Looking at this front we saw a potential canvas. Our intention

was the access to it to be free not only from the visitors but also from anyone wishing to create something on it. So came the idea of the scaffold system for the conversion of the wall in a living and constantly changing artwork.

Thus created an architectural element, the scaffold system, with which we organized the extiriot and interior space.

The alignment from the union of the entrance of the yard and the entrance of the building creates the basic grid on which our synthesis is based.

This project dealt with the design of a 6-grade senior school. The site was locat-ed in a residential area closed to the cen-ter of Athens. We tried to pull back from the busy high street and place the main facilities of the school towards the less busy streets.Our main goal was to design a building that would both serve as school in the morn-ings and as cultural community center in the evenings. In order to achieve that we carefully considered the location of each space and ended up with a clear private public and semi-pubic coexisting program.A great amount of consideration was paid to the location and design of the library, thus it was placed along the main faade of our site. Furthermore, we replicated the sloping landscape of the site by creating a sloping roof on top of the library space.
