Ramp House / Archivirus

Architects: Archivirus
Location: Papagou, Athens, Greece
Team: Athanasia Psaraki
Construction Date: 2007
Area: 80 m2

Athanasia Psarakia shared with us this house for a skater in Athens, with a very innovative interior for this sport. Pictures and project description below.
ramp The house is a project that aims to redefine the living space based on customer request: a "weathering habitat." The result was an inside curve, which provides the functionality of the home based on the lifestyle of its inhabitants, in the movement.

In space, which was actually an extension of a third floor, we tried first of all achieve a balanced coexistence between old and new. The main material was wood, so he joined a pergola and horizontal blinds of this material, involving the new structure. Through this new harmony with the total volume, but maintains its independence from the rest of the building.

"When the client asked me to design a house where they could skate, immediately eliminated the idea of \u200b\u200bputting a mini ramp in the living room. For me, the challenge of this project was to design a space where the ramp outside the main building components. I wanted to make a house a home ramp and not a ramp. "

"Then I began to imagine a place where straight lines would be curved and flat surfaces are transformed into a ramp or bowl . Playing with these forms and transitions variables that offer, my main goal was to create a functional open space where daily life adopt a feeling of acceleration, which is basically one of the main features of the skate. "

Conceptual Diagram
"Considering this, I designed a house where the living room is a ramp that becomes a bowl to create a border with the room and bathroom. Typical elements of a house as the fireplace and the wineries are hidden within the forms of the ramp. I also tried to incorporate the aesthetics of the street through the concrete, but combined with the cozy atmosphere of a home through the wood. So the pavement in the wood floor becomes the ceiling and kitchen area. In this way, the whole space appears in the actual movement and can flow from one space to another, skating or walking. "

Japan uses the system Hybrid called mass dampers (vibration diffusers at the base of the buildings), the seismic isolation foundations of buildings.

How Loud Is A Sound That Causes Dizziness

must demand accountability for past rulers

The City will pursue an agreement to prevent the demolition of the Public Library

The Supreme Court Monday issued a ruling that forces demolish Public Library State, as "the management of the plot is null and void for being approved for avoiding compliance with the said decision dated October 10, 2002, after planning permission was approved by the Committee on Government Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1997.

"We must hold accountable to the municipal government of the recent past because the courts tell us permanently illegal and diversion of power in urban area," Hernandez insisted .

"permanent urban practice of fait accompli and then solving courts has led to this unsustainable situation for the city coffers and for the good image of this capital," continued the mayor.

The statement recalled that the September 25, 1997, the Government Commission of the City of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was licensed the Ministry of Education without there being a special plan that would cover the work.

This Government Commission dismissed the technical and legal reports which warned of the lack of the Special Plan and also that the project exceeds the scope of the plot. "

notes the Supreme Court ruling that "the Special Plan not exist when the license was granted despite the fact that was required. To try to circumvent it was granted a conditional license." Supreme added that this procedure "is an act caught by misuse of power."

The financial compensation that could result in maintaining the State's public library will be greater than the compensation received by residents affected by a similar case, that of the Supercomisaría, which was more than a million euros . In any case, the City would not rule out asking that the sentence is declared unenforceable.

The City would have to put on the table an amount greater than what they got those affected by the construction of the building Supercomisaría compensate for the loss of vision and green areas that have suffered the San Telmo neighborhood of the building with the general library of the State. would therefore be a figure of over one million euros which should contribute to reaching an agreement, something that is not possible from the side of the neighbors, as this newspaper has learned.

In any case, even that can save the main library of the State of the pick because, according to judicial sources confirmed, any person, even without being part of the process, you can claim the execution of the Court Supreme forced to demolish the building immediately. Thus recorded in the recent decision of the High Court in urban planning.

However, Councilman of the City Planning, Nestor Hernandez, said yesterday that he wants to "deepen the possibility to show the Supreme impracticability of executing the sentence and the serious damage it would cause the public interest. "

However, the unenforceability of the sentence is just to elucidate what the Supreme Court, reiterating the obligation to demolish the building immediately. This is reflected in the sentence when the judges say "no need to declare unenforceable a sentence under plans approved after the pronouncement in the instance of that sentence in order to prevent the execution of it. "

cultural capital. The Deputy Minister of Culture of the Canary Islands, Alberto Delgado, yesterday called "nonsense" the initiative to pull a building as the public library of the State, managed by the Canarian Government, especially in a limited territory such as the Archipelago, where there is a considerable lack of soil. In this regard, the representative of the regional government said that "if it reaches the extreme solution of demolition, our obligation with the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the City will seek a temporary alternative. " And clarified that delete this "wonderful building" could also damage the city's image ahead of the European cultural capital.
