Client Municipality of Sykies
Job Title Associate Architect at Astrinidou and Associates

The cultural neighborhood of the municipality of Sykies situated beside the city’s Byzantine Walls, was created within the context of a resettlement program for refugees who arrived in Nothern Greece after the Asia Minor disaster in 1922. Its preservation and maintenance aims to offer younger generations a different perception into the refugge past by highlighting the traces of an authentic, popular, traditional architecture. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to meet many of the Municipality’ s educational and cultural needs since, apart from the residential dwellings, twenty buildings have been earmarked for use as educational laboratories, a museum and hostels. The project proposes the preservation of the existing buildings shell as well as the outdoor and semi-outdoor areas of the refugee courtyards.
