Οne of the most crucial interventions in Athens, this park reestablishes the lost connection of the city to the sea. Lines trace this dynamic dialogue: linear water elements extend within the park while transparent buildings line along five axis that form piers on the seafront. These connect the city over the proposed coverage of the highway –from that point the gradual inclination of the ground towards the sea houses the rest of the buildings, which half buried, disclose their slender planted roofs. The grid of the free standing buildings on the axis defines the placement of trees within a Mediterranean waterfront.
