In the context of this dissertation, the place of Volakas in Tinos is approached as a field of differentiation. A landscape of contrast, in terms of the scale and extent of its granitic formations - its geological phenomenon. The geological interior with strong signs of disintegration and changes in space and time is seen with bumps and holes. A place where the architectural footprint is indistinguishable as the landscape prevails. The intensity of the soil eruptions here is predominant and is chosen as such a place. As a destabilizing dynamic capable of introducing and producing spatial synergies. Experiments with "real" and "construction".Initiated by Volakas, the intention is to map the rhythms and qualities of space that constitute destabilization or elements that are found out of balance; unexpected elements that compose the place in an attempt to reverse the "production" of space. The goal is therefore the conceptual crossing of the landscape and the correlation with "primary" places as fields of analysis, throughout "oblique" routes. To articulate means of exploration, with an emphasis on process as a tool of spatial research design. By reversing the qualities drawn from this specific theme, the material and imaginary extensions of the space, to the composition of a dynamic "ground", a temporary space.
