The proposal concerns the creation of a mediatheque in the center of Athens. Its concept is based upon three starting points.

First, Athens is seen as a continuous, gray layer that has been placed upon the natural landscape. Second, the existing, three-dimensional building fragmentation by which Athens is characterized. Thirdly, Athens can be seen as a three-dimensional grid which is made of reinforced concrete, reminding us of Kenneth Frampton, who described the Greek capital as the absolute modernistic city.

Having these as our staring points, we envisioned the creation of a building, the ground of which is the Athenian built environment; a space that runs through many of the existing ones; a network that breaks down the building boundaries and overcomes the shell restrictions. We envisioned a construction that reflects the needs of every moment, a new typology which is expandable, and that it can adopt to factors that can and cannot yet be foreseen.

We accept the coincidence, and we improve the building piece by piece, gradually, independently.
