Idea projektu

In recent years there has been a need to establish a new airport. The lion's share of all the placements is held with a rough estimate by the citizens of Larissa who believe that their city needs a political airport and even directly. The city of Larissa is considered one of the most important and fastest-growing urban and commercial centers in the country, as well as a hub for communications and transport. The town of Larissa has airport facilities that belong to the air force, which was the first landing of a Greek aircraft under the name "Daedalus" on September 29, 1912. In the past, this airport operated civilian flights in cooperation with Olympic Airways. However, its operation as a political airport was interrupted by its lack of facilities and reduced traffic.

Popis projektu

The building of the terminal promotes the architecture of the crowd, it is the meeting place of people of different nationalities, ages, and destinations. Due to the stringency of the routes, the movements inside are continuous and fast causing stress to people. Its design should therefore be aimed at reassuring them and creating a sense of security. The most successful approach to this goal is to try to integrate nature within it. The city of Larissa is a large town that extends to the largest lowland area of Greece, the Thessalian plain. Innumerable areas of fields surround it creating a set of random rectangular patterns in colors of green and brown. The entire urban fabric is connected to the surrounding crops of the villages creating a "smooth morphological continuity" with minimal elevation differences in the form of "lofts". Known over the years for her intense involvement in rural life and grain production. My inspiration, then, was the main source of life, occupation, and economy of the city, the plain, and specifically the cereals.
