BUILDING COMMON(S) BY BUILDING WALLS
雅典维多利亚地区的新城市场景。在正式边界的支持下，在团结和相互尊重的前提下，该项目设想将城市作为一个公共的第二家园。用围墙重建当代雅典城市的共同感。
New urban scenario for the Victoria area in Athens. With solidarity and mutual respect, supported by the formal borders, the project speculates on sharing the city as a public second home. Using walls to re-establish the sense of common(s) within the contemporary city of Athens.
在雅典维多利亚地区，永久性的危机状态导致其公民不断被遗弃。波利卡托伊基亚(polykatoikias)的空置公寓没有公开宣布自己的身份，但从视觉上看，空置的地块会影响城市的形象，并对城市居民产生直接影响。视觉空缺地图描绘了城市肌理中明显的空白点，换句话说，“危机的空间格局”(N. Belavilas, P. Prentou，雅典社会地图集，2015年12月)。对“空缺”概念的质疑，可能会出现相互矛盾的观点。尽管认为它是一种放弃和城市的衰败，人们可能会发现它的潜力和充满前景和开放的可能性。这引发了对法线的重新思考，并找到了新的方法。
The permanent state of crisis, within the area of Victoria, Athens, causes a constant feeling of abandonment for its citizens. Whereas the empty apartments at polykatoikias do not announce themselves publicly, visually vacant plots affect the image of the city and have a direct influence on its inhabitants. The visual vacancy map pictures the clearly vacant spots in the urban fabric, in other words, “the spatial pattern of the crisis” (N. Belavilas, P. Prentou, Athens social atlas, Dec 2015). Questioning the notion of “vacancy”, there might contradictory visions appear. Despite seeing it as abandonness and urban decay, one may find it potential and full of prospective and open possibilities. This provokes the re-thinking of normals and finding new approaches.
虽然雅典市民不使用他们的阳台、露台和庭院的空间，但他们仍然有必要聚集在公共空间，无论原因是什么。
Whilst the citizens of Athens are not using the spaces of their balconies, terraces, and courtyards, they still have the necessity to gather in public spaces, no matter the reason.
雅典的空间存在于国家、城市和居民之间，正式与非正式之间的界限有时难以确立。改变现有的城市政策，开放使用暂时空置的地块，将意味着通过公共集会和非正式倡议赋予雅典权力。“共同的理解(s)作为一种新型的(城市)空间外公共和私人的二分法”（Merve Bedir），是一个希望阻止弱势社区和公众上升以保护公共利益的问题，以恢复他们作为城市所有者的合法地位。
Space in Athens exists between the state, the city and the residents, and the border between formal and informal is sometimes hard to establish. Changing existing urban policies for the open use of the temporally vacant plots would mean empowering Athens through public gatherings and informal initiatives. “The understanding of common(s) as a new kind of (urban) space that is outside the dichotomy of public and private” (Merve Bedir) is a hope for resistance of disadvantaged communities and general public in rising up to protect a matter of public interest in order reclaim their rightful place as owners of the city.
目前，维多利亚地区居住着多国和多元化的社会群体，整体氛围非常紧张。该项目坚信，重新划定边界将促进更健康的社区关系。该项目提倡的不是创造一种幻觉，一种“理想”社会的形象，而是更好地对社会的所有成员表现出宽容。有了墙这样一个简单的工具，就有可能在私人生活的同时建立会议场所。墙壁的元素将允许任何形式的相邻，而墙壁的开口将是邀请和关系的管理者。在正式边界的支持下，在团结和相互尊重的基础上，该项目设想将城市作为公共第二家园共享。城墙将允许重建当代雅典城市的共同感。
Currently, the area of Victoria is inhabited by multinational and diverse social groups. The overall atmosphere is quite tense. The project strongly believes that reclaiming the borders would cause healthier community relations. Instead of creating an illusion, an image of an “ideal” society, the project advocates that it is better to show tolerance towards all the members of the society. With such a simple tool as a wall, it is possible to establish meeting places whilst living one’s own life privately. The element of the wall would allow for any kind of neighboring, whilst openings in the walls would be invitations and regulators of relations. With solidarity and mutual respect, supported by the formal borders, it the project speculates on sharing the city as a public second home. The walls would allow to re-establish the sense of common(s) within the contemporary city of Athens.
