map Consumption
culture of the contemporary global culture leads people to gain
status and reflect their tastes by consuming more and more artifacts.
The concepts of class and lifestyles are directing people to
decorate their houses with the furniture that is supposed to
reflect their identites and styles. Also the fashion and trends
in furniture sector influence people to change their home furnishings
frequently. But this would not be considered as a conscious
attitude about ecology and sustainable development. In this
workshop, the students are expected to build their status claims
with ecological paradigmas and express this with the furniture
designs of their home environment. As students may consider
designing and producing furniture made of recycled materials,
they also may bring a completely
different attitude towards home furnishing in terms of sustainable
development.
The workshop will be hosted at AKTO Thessaloniki (see map).

Both offices have more than 35 years of architectural and planning
experience in almost all sectors of private and public development.
Our goal is to expand architecture and design with a more comprehensive
sustainable approach. We believe in detail, as an expression
of hard work and articulation of design ideas, uniqness and
quality. For us design is more than aesthetics, it is a process
that can add value in building forms and society, explore living
potentials, promote technical quality. We start from scratch.
Sometimes process require long hours that we run with the client
in order to form solutions that they fit to clients need. This
is why each client has special meaning for us. We can make our
expertise available to every level of resident, housing or hotel
development, retail and branding, or environmental development.

Workshop brief: Workshop site is the 30th High School.
Site location: KMZ
Also see

Education is often identified as the
key to a desirable future. Within the education arena, groups
are committed to global education, economic education, cultural
diversity, and environmental protection and improvement. The
key is linking the expertise and activities of these groups
and articulating a shared vision that encourages a new comprehensive
approach to education for sustainability.
The workshop site is the 30th high school of Harilaou which
follows the line of an old torrent. This line also includes
scattered small parks and other public green areas. Therefore
the outdoor area of the school will be holistically designed
as a part of a larger scale green network. At the same time
we aim at promoting a more public character making it a space
serving education as well as recreation and local community
interaction. To achieve the latter, through innovative eco-design
we aim to combine educational use with community involvement
programs.
In every urban space interventions to improve liveability and
create an ecological and greener environment can be developed
in many ways. To make such interventions sustainable they require
attention, awareness and proactivity. Participation of students,
teachers, children, volunteers and other stakeholders during
and after installation is required for the best synergetic effect.
Therefore the design process will focus on creating sustainable
prototypes which will be easily applicable at similar sites
improving environmental and educational aspects.
The workshop will be hosted at AKTO Thessaloniki (see map). |

ECOWEEK is for sustainability not
only for humans, but also for the ecological habitats and the
earth's natural cycles, processes and other species with which
we share our environment. In this context, this workshop will
address the issue of water need for our disadvantageous neighbours
within the city; birds, cats, dogs and others who are struggling
for their lives in a physical setting which is increasingly
abused by our ignorant behaviour in cities. The aim of this
workshop is not only to focus on developing awareness but also
to finding sustainable ways of designing ecological building
components that can collect the water for our neighbours. Along
this path, the workshop will commence with a thorough observation
of the water networks of the city towards a strategic selection
of various locations within the cith where scarcity of water
sources. Then, it will continue with a brainstorming session
for finding easy, practical, sustainable ideas for solving the
problem of water distribution to the animals on the outdoor
realm. The participants will first draw and then produce these
components in 1 to 1 scale throughout the workshop. The final
stage will be the placement of these components into appropriate
locations to serve our partners in public realm as it is our
respomsibility in an era whereby to respect the habitat at all
scales.
The workshop will be hosted at AKTO Thessaloniki (see map). |

The project will focus on 'green' interventions
in an existing school, with possible new addition(s) based
on the principles of One Planet Living and passive solar design.
The workshop aims to take a real example of how a school can
be used to catalyse change within a community. It will use
the One Planet Principles as a guide to design a school that
is both sustainable and a living breathing teaching aid in
itself. Key to this will be not looking at the school in isolation
but identifying its links and connections to the community
and how these can be extended and reinforced.
ECOWEEK GREENHOUSE: This project is taking place within
the framework of the ECOWEEK GREENHOUSE, an international
platform active in Greece and Israel. The aim of the workshop
is to develop a project that will be further developed after
ECOWEEK 2012 is completed. ECOWEEK GREENHOUSE projects aim
towards further developing actual projects, that are often
implemented. Architects and professional consultants are expected
to support the work of this workshop. More about the GREENHOUSE
at www.ecoweekgreenhouse.org
The workshop will be hosted at AKTO Thessaloniki (see map).
Benjamin's participation is made possible in cooperation
and with the support of the UK Embassy and the British Council.

ECOWEEK
2009: Ecology + Leadership + Architecture Workshop
The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2009
dealt with the site of the former international airport of Athens
in Hellenikon. The groups did not attempt to repeat the international
competition on the site; neither give tips to improve the official
plans for the site; neither attempted to impose architectural
symbols and schemes from abroad. The workshops rather attempted
to re-approach this important site for Athens and the residents
of the Metropolitan city, based on ecology, locality, community
and sustainability. More
