Commendation in the architectural design competition for the renovation of the common space and the wider area of the Exarchia Metro Station

Exarchia Square is designed as an ‘urban room’ surrounded by vertical gardens. A scaffolding structure extends the public space in height, providing the infrastructure for the development of climbing plantings to replace, in place and scale, the trees that will inevitably be cut down during the construction of the underground station. The design adopts the logic of a theatre stage, where different viewing points surround a central spectacle scene. The aim is to create a vibrant social nucleus to host events and civic happenings in keeping with the spirit and history of the area. A playful recreational space is created within the scaffolding. An architectural promenade will lead visitors to resting places and viewpoints over the square and the city. Balconies as observatories emerge from the vertical gardens, an elevated recreational platform and a grandstand - seating area face the square, a small balcony serves as an observation deck towards the Vox cinema and the "Blue" apartment building, while an elevated amphitheater faces Themistokleous Street.
