organizations from Greece (DYNAMO), Jordan (Jordan

Intensive Workshop: Mapping Deserted Urban
Centres - Thessaloniki Western Downtown
Workshop Moderator
P ost-Graduate Masters Degree in Architectural
Design Program of the Department of Architecture,
University of Thessaly - Instead (parapoesis)
Organized by DYNAMO, Thessaloni and Department of
Architecture, University of Thessaly, Greece
The program studies the area of West Centre of
Thessaloniki as the ruin of itself, as a leftover that
we can re-consider in order to generate a some-yetunseen potential. In order for potential beneficiary
deformations of the existing building mass to be
examined, studied and assessed and as a result
lead to conditions that
organize and reverse the current situation, students
were asked to in depth assess the area, in order to
identify and map more obvious and formal but also
less apparent and informal intensities and extensities,
affects and effects, potentialities and virtualities.
Key Words: Strategic Design, Mapping, Architectural
