Fragment's Path

Understanding the existence of dynamic water flow within the urban fabric, with aim of connecting the Krafsidonas torrent with the city of Volos, paths were designed on slopping ground. A public, amphibious space was produced, ready to hold water whenever is necessary; preventing or at least delaying the overflow of the water in the inhabited riparian areas along the torrent’s flow, acting as a symbiotic infrastructure of the city.  The organic design of the paths was derived through in-situ research, within the torrent-bed of Krafsidonas, by cartographic -experiential mapping- practices and embodied experience in the landscape.
