Students face matters of urban integration, design and integrity of built and open space, and solve complex architectural-functional problems.they also conceive and design the load bearing structure of the building, solve main constructional issues and design all critical architectural details of their project THE PROJECT The Design project of the 7 th and 8 th semester is a Center of Contemporary Art in a central urban area of Castella in Piraeus, near the seafront. The aim of the course is to study and resolute basic architectural problems associated mainly with : A.The integration of the new project in the city. B. The design of a public multi-storey building,-developed in height -with a complex functional program. In this design project students will focus on: the concept of a Centre of Contemporary Art. the relation of the building to the special landscape of Castella and the city of Pireaus the materiality and the structure construction of the building.( Basic construction materials,load bearing structure composition, in relation to interior design and general architectural proposition ) In order to work on these project students will have to get informed about different issues, such as: - History of Piraeus, the harbor, Castella, the coastline etc. - Expressive diversity of contemporary art - Variety of spaces, forms and ways suitable for contemporary art exhibition - Concept of exhibition space as part of the Art activity - Contemporary art and urban context

2 2 BUILDING PROGRAM This project comprises the following entities: A. Reception 230m2 B. Cultural events spaces 250m2 C. Periodic exhibition spaces 1000m2 D. Library 100m2 E. Administration 200m2 F. Storage spaces for exhibits 630m2 G. Auxiliary service spaces 320m2 H. Free outdoor spaces I. Parking (for about 20 cars) The total constructed area of the building will be about 2700m2-3000m2 A. RECEPTION AND PUBLIC SERVICE FACILITIES people area Total m 2 1. entrance 2. information desk ticket desk 1 4. bookshop museum store telephone booths 6. bar-snack bar (self service) Including: 6.1. sitting area for 50 people 6.2. service area (preparation and serving) Storage with refrigerator, small changing room, garbage storage, service entrance accessible by car. The bar-snack bar and its outdoors space will also function independently from the museum. Special meals during conferences etc will be provided in this space by external catering services, in order to minimise the requirements for food preparation facilities. 7. children s area. This space will function as a small nursery. It includes a playroom for 25 children, with storage and children s WC. Direct connection to outdoors space is recommended sanitary spaces for men, women, disabled and small storage for 50 cleaning products Total 230 B. CULTURAL EVENTS SPACES people area Total m 2 These spaces support activities regarding the Contemporary Art Centre, complementing the presentation and supporting the understanding of the content presented in the permanent and temporary exhibitions. They also support activities of wider cultural interest and have the possibility to function independently. They include: 1. Foyer. It can be part of the wider entrance area and covers activities that cannot be supported by the multi-purpose hall due to its particular layout. 2. Cloakroom. It will serve the whole building small multi-purpose hall for 150 people (1.2m 2 /person) for projections, lectures, public talks, conferences etc., with podium/stage. Required supportive installations include: projection booth,

3 3 synchronous translation booths for two languages, with shared or separate WC, sound and light control room, storage for seats in the case of conversion into conference hall 4. two small rooms for meetings, seminars, workshops for 25 people each with possibility of being unified 5. WCs of paragraph A8 will serve the aforementioned spaces Total 250 C. PERIODIC EXHIBITIONS SPACES people area Total m 2 These spaces are limited to temporarily hosting exhibitions from Greece or abroad. The spectrum of exhibitions will be broad. There will also be exhibitions of architecture, photography, industrial design. High flexibility and adaptability of these spaces in all three dimensions is required, in order to adapt to the scale and quantity of exhibits of each exhibition. At the same time the exhibition spaces should support the possibility to be subdivided into smaller unities, in order to cover multiple manifestations of contemporary art. This parameter means that space is not merely a receptor but incorporates in its structure the possibility of subdivision. Indicatively its subdivision into two equivalent or more spaces is suggested. The requirement for controlled open air exhibition space is particularly elevated. The layout of exhibition spaces should enable alternative possibilities of movement of the visitors amongst the exhibits, from and towards the reception space. At the same time it should be possible to interrupt this route and direct it towards reception. Entrance and exit from the exhibition spaces will be controlled. It is recommended to insert into the exhibition route resting areas for the visitors that could be combined with audiovisual presentations regarding the exhibits. Sanitary spaces should be provided in intelligible positions. total 1000 D. LIBRARY people area Total m 2 The library will contain art books. It will include book keeping/reading room as well as room for the viewing of microfilm, video, slides etc. Reproduction machinery is also required. total 100 E.

OUTDOORS SPACES AND PARKING - Open air space will be composed with closed spaces, namely exhibition halls, cultural activities spaces, bar and working spaces in a unified and balanced composition. - The open space of the Centre will have the possibility to host open-air exhibitions and other cultural events and will constitute the intermediate space between urban open public space and indoors public space. - The access to the main entrance of the Contemporary Art Centre should be configured in a way that enables the circulation and stay of at least two coaches. - Provision for 20 parking places for the staff s cars and for short term visitors parking.

5 5 Course organization This interdisciplinary course is organized by3 departments: Architectural Design, Architectural language and communication, Architectural technology The total time of study of this course - is organised in 2 semesters, the 7th and the 8th. The work is realised at preference in teams of two students. At the end of each semester all the work (drawings, models etc) of each group of students is delivered to the relevant teaching staff and is given a mark. Intermediately, there are programmed presentations in the level of study groups or wider, that will be determined during courses. During every semester the presence of students at the design lessons and the participation in the group work is obligatory 7 th - winter semester In the end of 7 th semester the following will be handed in: -Analysis of the wider region, where the building is situated - Topographic drawing with the configuration of open spaces, the accesses and the choices of integration of building in the urban tissue, scale 1: 200, - Models of work in scale 1: 500, 1: Plans of all levels with projections of close environment, organisation of spaces and their operations, sections, facades as well as the organization of load bearing structure, in scale 1: Every other element or drawing that will be judged essential for the better presentation of the project. 8th - spring semester In the 8 th semester, a more detailed analysis and design of the project takes place. Students continue designing the building and surrounding landscape area in smaller scales. They select a part -a zone- of the building, of special interest, which they study in scales 1:50 and 1:20-1:10, with the corresponding constructional details. The load bearing structure is solved and studied in detail Also, adequate axonometric, 3d drawings and models (usually1:50) are constructed. More information concerning the 8 th semester will be given during the course.
