The aim of the 7 days (08-14/10/2016) workshop was to redesign the Xenia-Filoxenia hotel, one of the great building of Greek modernism, designed by Katerina Dialisma. It was important for the students to create spaces and an atmosphere where people can meet, act and interact, to explore a new way of living in a good designed 60's Hotel. The design process of the workshop was based on creating and conceiving the space according to the site and the local roots and traditions.
During the workshop, the students and the tutors had the opportunity to live in the hotel.
