About the project
Competition entry for a Kindergarten, Care Center for the Elderly and Public Park at Chania, Greece. The concept of time and how it affects the life of man and the building, and that the same person who experiences the space as a child in the nursery, will visit the building later as a user of the public space, in the neighborhood park and maybe even later at the care center for the elderly.
The whole idea revolves around the art of ceramics. The art of ceramics contributes to the design, through three axes. Firstly, it continues and strengthens the intense interest in Cretan ceramic art, both for the glorious Minoan past and for its modern successors. The materiality of the building is strongly influenced by it, both by its extensive use reused brick, as well as some prefabricated ceramic elements used in the facades, in order to locally differentiate the general type of masonry.
