Basic intent of the architecture proposed is to create a cradle of cultural inheritance sufficient to keep the memory of Morphou , because only through remembrance possible developments can de gestated.
The green line, this strict boundary, is what separates the location of the new town hall from his "native" site. The "green" line is also the boundary between the free- inbuilt and the "occupied" - built space. That boundary - border is recognized and converts to a geometric- architectural form, a "wall". At this point, the communicating added value of architecture is being activated, the "wall" is transformed into a means of storytelling and reading history of Morphou from the users. And of course the orange tree, one of the main features of this notorious town, is located at the entrance of the building, the primary element of the synthesis of the atrium – exhibition space.
The "order" will eventually be restored. The sons of Morphou will return to their home lands and then the building will have no reason to exist, architectural space will be freed... But the wall will remain and it will be transformed from a building which preserves historical memory to a monument of Morphou’s refugee period. Until then... we’ll always watch Morphou from afar...
