Parc in south Peloponnese

The project is a landscape study in a limitrophe context in south of Greece.
The extended site is situated at the region of Laconia in a section common named “Mani”.
A chersonese included at the left sector of mountain “Taigetos”, presents a considerable population formed through variform communities and settlements. At the middle of the 19 century geopolitical and economics new classifications supersede the site and render it as marginal.
Regressive evolvement, inefficient natural resources, deficient development of infrastructures, graduated expatriation, abusive constructions and a critical economy derives a comprehensive and problematic conditions.
Conversely in timeless represents an extreme ensample of optimality that overstep the insularism:
A life-size microcosm with constant and variable fuctions that modulate an autonomic segment and establish it in a topocentic multiplex.
The particular landscape’s physiognomy and the generically absence of modernization, can determinate a necessity of soft-transforming by a project.
Social Quality, Recreation time, Activities, Accessibility, Paths and Visual Fields defines a system that introduce a different perception in the open space.
Signs, prototypes unfettered by “standards” becomes effective by contemplate the mensuration in a marginal place and definite an identity.
