Workshop Topic
The aac Autumn Workshop focused on the development of Athens Central Station.
The aim was to integrate the entire site, including the two existing station buildings, into the urban landscape in a way that makes the most of its location and potential. The development of new activities within the existing, preservation-worthy buildings, combined with the creation of new, complementary infrastructure, was intended to form a new, sustainable hub that connects previously separate neighbourhoods and can contribute to the regeneration of this area of Athens.
Excursion
The workshop began with a field trip to Athens, Greece.
Workshop Format
The designs were conceptualised and developed in international groups. In addition to tutorials and interim presentations, the workshop was accompanied by a public lecture programme.
Following the workshop, the results were shown in the form of an exhibition on the premises of the aac in Hamburg.
