Within an area of 35 square metres,
which is part of an old building complex in the center of Ioannina, an effort
is made to harness the dynamism of an eloquent architectural gesture
The design approach aims to create a
austere and functional space, wherein the austerity and of architectural form
are mixed.
The architect's workbench is chosen to
serve as a matrix of spatial qualities immersed in a homogeneous white
surrounding.
On a 6-metre surface, which constitutes
a non-symmetrical prism of crooked ends, all the operations of an architectural
firm are realised
The surfaces resulting from the various
ends of the prism oppose the unequivocal endorsement of the workplace and
produce a series of workplace scenarios.
All auxillary and storage spaces are
part of a neutral background in front of which the form of the workbench is
reinvented constantly in response to operational requirements, appearing
finally as a floating vector pattern within the limits of a familiar
environment.
