URBAN TECHNIQUE
Interioricity Athens puts emphasis on discussing the city´s urban condition, and the very architectural nature of cities having grown according to individual interests and power, rather than elaborated planning ambitions, resulting in a twofold phenomena: plannend and unplanned islands of difference within the outreaching homogeneous carpet of the Polykatoikia Apartment-house typology. InteriorCity precisely looks at the way that an entity differentiates its inside from its outside in regards to its spatial effects within itself and the larger surrounding. It divides the aspects of the interior into inner and outer, such as can be conceived in the delimitation between ring and hole. Interioricity in this way not only refers to the geometrical properties and its assembly, but aspires to taking into account the forces at play in reformulating the meaning of a political urbanity, exemplified by investigating the central district Exarchia in Athens.
