Summary

The aim of this paper is to design-build an “ Albergo Diffuso” scattered hotel within the urban fabric, which will be hybrid and will offer multiple functions as a building. At the same time, many linear buildings along a street have been chosen, all of them being of neoclassical architecture. All these buildings either have some malfunctioning areas or are abandoned. Based on this proposal, we intend to save these buildings of historical and cultural importance and offer them a new function which will both highlight them and give a new image to the street and the neighbourhood- area. Due to the fact that these buildings are in a distance with one another and they serve different functions, in order for the aforementioned hotel to function properly we have to arrange a small linear interval in the urban fabric in I. Sfakianaki street, where we build a pedestrian- bicycle oriented area which will unite “Platia Dikastirion” with “Eirinis and Filias” park, and simultaneously, will provide a unified framework for the buildings since it will bring them together in the same space. The restoration of this street leads to the creation of an interactive walk for the guest of the hotel because every building has a different colour pattern on the pavement which also signifies every building as a part of the hotel complex. Because of the many colours and the hybrid characteristics of the hotel which is in harmony with the urban landscape based on the method of urban acupuncture, its name is decided to be “CHAMELEON”.
