| Content Summary | Designing interiors as exteriors has always been a great challenge in architectural design. As a compositional principle this method highlights the capacity of the architect in combining scales and as a final result, it enriches the character of the buildings as containers of life. The current proposal is concerned with two interventions for the construction of halls in the towns of Chaniá and Neapolis in Crete. The design approach should be that of the proposal of the external space qualities in these halls that should demonstrate a rich atmosphere made by the minimal architectural effort. The study of precedents has offered several ideas, in order to improve continuity and the severe control of our decisions. In Chaniá the design of the internal walls combines row wood strips and photographs, trying to create the compact image of reed, moving by the wind. In Neapolis, the existing courtyard space is imagined as being covered by a large tent which curves downward, toward its centre and is pulled back by its four corners creating tension. This method, where it can be applied, gives more welfare using less architecture. For the interventions in existing historical buildings it can offer the idea of the natural elements with which time involves buildings and creates the patina. The interiors designed as exteriors can offer a deeper architectural thought beyond buildings as a kind of a primitive euphoria, as life in the inbuilt. | en |
