"Re-branding Nemea"

This project concerns the modernization of Nemea's basic urban structure which will play a crucial role to the connection of the city with the new Wine Museum.
The relationship of the city with its ancient history and mythology, plus the famous PDO wine production "NEMEA AGIORGITIKO" are the basic lines to lead the re-branding concept of the city, in order to turn it into a new wine destination of high quality.
Goals:
• Sustainable, aesthetic and functional enhancement of the city (local materials, local labor, introduction of local architectural elements in the landscape, accessible spaces for disabled people, storm water management, reducement of surface temperatures and heat island effects, low maintenance, affordability, enhancement of the local ecosystem)
• Support tourism
• Highlight the history of the place
• Enhance the city's wine tradition
• Highlight the new landmark of the city, the New Wine Museum
• Work through the aesthetic upgrading of the building facades in order of promote a single aesthetic image
• Upgrade all empty urban voids
Given the ever growing domestic and global trend towards wine tourism, the proposal for the surrounding area of the New Wine Museum could combine local materials and colors, with contemporary techniques in order to promote, both aesthetically and functionally, this extremely valuable outdoor space that will accommodate producers, journalists, sommeliers, and simple lovers of good wine from around the world. These gestures will contribute to the development of quality tourism for the region.
Materials:
Pervious concrete:
• Eliminates untreated storm water and creates zero runoff
• Directly recharges groundwater
• Mitigates "first flush" pollution
• Protects streams, watersheds, and ecosystems
• Mimics the drainage and filtration of bioswales and natural soils
• Reduces surface temperatures and heat island effects
• Provides a higher albedo surface reflectivity index (0.35 or higher)
• Eliminates need for expensive collection and detention systems
• A pervious infrastructure is much more profitable for the developer
• Eliminates time consuming and costly storm water detention vaults and piping systems
• Eliminates the cost of curb and gutter installations
• Reclaims lots otherwise consumed by vaults and ponds
Granite cobblestones:
• Cobblestone pavers are among the oldest paving materials that are still in wide use today. These decorative stones make up some of the best-preserved roads in various parts of the world. Today, they are extensively used in various commercial, residential, and public spaces and rank as among the most preferred paving materials.
• Aside from sheer appeal, cobblestones are also prize for their toughness. Given the fact that some of the oldest roads are made of cobblestones, then it’s fair to say that structures made of cobblestones are built to last a lifetime.
• Add to that, cobblestones are maintenance-free and require very minimal cleaning efforts.
Corten:
• Rust is a phenomenon that most engineers seek to avoid, but is actually desirable in weathering steel. Also known as Corten steel, weathering steel is characterized by what the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) describes as “useful corrosion,” in which naturally occurring rust not only lengthens the lifecycle of a weathering steel structure, but also saves the time and money associated with painting and maintenance. Rust on weathering steel sheets is not a sign of deterioration as with corrosive steel sheets; in fact, it is just the opposite. Instead of ruining the metal, however, rust actually serves to protect Corten from further corrosion.
• Weathering steel is also conveniently high strength, low maintenance, and cost effective.
• The abundant benefits of weathering steel make Corten steel sheets ideal for structural and architectural applications The popularity of weathering steel may also be explained, in part, by its attractive appearance. Structures built with Corten steel sheets take on the reddish, orange color of rust. As the rust deepens with further exposure to the environment, the steel sheets develop a deep russet patina that many people find appealing.
• Corten steel has been well-received by a community of architects and design engineers because of its considerable benefits. Weathering steel has a proven ability to withstand use over the long term, while requiring minimal upkeep.
• Structures built with Corten steel sheets do not require paint, which is good for the environment and the bottom line. Weathering steel sheets also develop a patina of rust that does not harm the Corten, but rather beautifies it. Beautiful and practical, weathering steel is an excellent building material.
Gravel:
• Affordability. Gravel is a whole lot cheaper than a concrete, asphalt, or other paved surface. Even though you will have to maintain the gravel, it is inexpensive to do so
• Maintenance. Gravel is as easy to maintain. You simply need to add more gravel and as it sinks due to weight and water. This is something you will need to do on a regular basis. Filling it in to even it out will usually need to be done twice a year, depending on the use and weather conditions
• Installation. Installation is a snap when installing a gravel pathway. You will need to grade the pathway, then add the gravel of your choice. Next, add a layer of pea gravel to fill in between the gravel. It will settle within a week, and will give you a smooth surface
• Once it installed, you can use it immediately, as opposed to a paved surface, which has to cure before it can be used.
• Water Drainage. Water drainage is another plus with gravel. It allows the water to dissipate into the ground, and evaporate into the air, without having an effect on the pathway
Water elements:
• They bring the sounds of nature to your doorstep
• They attract natural wildlife and enhance local ecosystem
• Reduce stress
