FROM CAMP TO PARK, RECONNECTING A FORMER MILITARY CAMP
country
Greece
Goal
Kodra Camp-to-Park: Thessaloniki focuses to the former Military Camp of Kodra within the administrative borders of the Kalamaria Municipality, having as goal to regain the waste land and reconnect it to the urban fabric, in three spatial levels of interventions: local, supra local, and metropolitan. The central theme is linked to the concept of “Re-coding Urban Voids”, areas in a city, whose functions have not yet been decided upon conclusively. These may be reserved areas, abandoned land such as ex-military camps, distance spaces, vacant buildings, unused properties. The urban wastelands consist valuable urban terrains, where the metropolitan cities can invest in their sustainable future. Within this framework, the project aims to develop a strategic action plan of how to re-engage a large functionless area, Kodra ex-millitary camp and to reconnect it with the urban tissue.
