The project, developed within the context of the University of Thessaly, proposes a new scenario for the manufactured landscape of Giali, an uninhabited volcanic island in Greece. Mining works have extensively affected its landscape, creating many environmental and social effects.

The idea explores the relationship between production infrastructure and leisure programs to reclaim the mining sites and create a new economic policy for the local communities. It is proposed to utilize Giali’s geothermal energy through an underground architectural program in which the energy production and the bathing element have the leading roles. According to a cascading energy system, each space is organized depending on its heat and humidity needs, creating a hybrid where all the senses are stimulated.
