The project is an architecture thesis that attempts to redefine our interaction with nature and the spaces we inhabit. The project explores spatial dynamics by proposing a hybrid geological landscape, experimental formations, and installations. A significant source of inspiration is the interdisciplinary discussion that perceives the landscape as a complex amalgamation rather than a neutral backdrop simply accommodating human activity. It is inspired by this urgent discussion, which unfolds in contemporary and broad terms, seeking to enrich and potentially advance this dialogue. The thermal springs of Loutra Edipsos in Greece provided fertile ground for study and experimentation. The project was developed within the context of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
