architectural education philosophy

This project aims to find a methodology for the creation of contemporary architecture within an existing traditional settlement. Key component is everything new to emerge from the existing structures, change according to its needs and transform the old, forming an organic relationship between them.
As a settlement example was chosen the area of Moutallo's in the city of Paphos and in which the construction of an architectural school is been proposed. Moutallo's was the Turkish Cypriot city district and has a long history that starts from the conquest of Cyprus by the Ottomans in 1951 AD. Through a turbulent history culminated by the Turkish invasion in 1974, was abandoned by the Turkish Cypriots and was finally inhabited by Greek Cypriot refugees.
