Skyscraper 09 competition
"Thousands of buildings are being demolished every year adding huge loads of garbage and debris to the already vulnerable environment. Parts of the facades (and other parts too) of old buildings can become the materials of new constructions.
Deconstructing, instead of demolishing, a building and re-use its components elsewhere, saves labor, natural resources, energy and money. This project is a fictional approach of how architecture could become in the near future. It is about a skyscraper in the Greek city of Kavala. The skyscraper through the years has become a symbol of wealth and power. In this case, we attempt to inverse this social context and redefine the main character of the skyscraper. Using cheap materials that have been used before and don’t have a shiny appearance anymore, we create a whole new image of what a skyscraper could stand for as a social reflection."
