Thessaloniki Community Center

Local partners
A&M Architects

For its uniqueness regarding program complexity and functional complementarities, this project represents a great opportunity to explore new concepts of spaces for living, learn, growth and play, breaking the conservative approach of traditional community centers and binding together all generations.
It aims to represent a new beacon of life. Beyond an architectural project, the New Center is as well an urbanistic statement: connecting the surrounding territory with the creation of a public plaza and a green park, and extending the public realm to its interior by allocating program that will be used by all inhabitants.
The architectural concept interprets the new center as a place of community. The central space of the new building is a courtyard framed by public program, where buildings stack on each other, creating passages on the intersections in an inviting gesture.
