Former International Airport Site in Hellinikon

ECOWEEK 2009-2010 Projects in Athens, Greece

WORKSHOP Assignment: The workshop dealt with the site of the former international airport of Athens in the Hellinikon area, a site of approx. 5,000,000 sq.m. The site is located between the Hymitos mountain ridge to the east and the sea of Saronikos to the west. The site was once remote, but with the urban sprawl of Athens, the site has been surrounded from all sides by residential neighborhoods.

WORKSHOP Leaders: The ECOWEEK 2009 workshops were led by architects, engineers and environmental experts, among them: Ivan Harbour (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, UK), Agnes Couvelas (Couvelas Architects, Greece), Nataly Gattegno, Future Lab Cities, USA), Byron Stigge (Buro Happold, USA), Olympia Kazi (Institute for Urban Design, USA), Benjamin Gill (BioRegional, UK), Uffe Bay-Smidt (aart a/s - Architects maa, Denmark), Andres Lonka (ADEPT Architects, Denmark), Marina Topouzi (Architect, UK), Thomas Doxiadis (doxiadis+, Greece), Petros Babasikas (Drifting City, Greece, USA), and Constantine Vakiris (Architect, UK).

The workshop groups addressed a variety of issues, ranging from water, to energy, to urban farms, to education. We are presenting here some general images of the workshop proposals, giving a general overview on a complex project, with a very complex program, and how students and experts, addressed these complex issues during ECOWEEK 2009, in a very short time span of 3 workshop days.
