OMONOIA SQUARE

Nina Pappa, Associate Professor

Andreas Kalakallas (Laboratory Teaching Staff)

 The Omonoia Square is supposed to be the center of the city. It is an historical square, its character changes dramatically throughout the hours of the day and it is connected to the everyday life, of all of us moving in the center city.

A. You will do field research in the area of Omonoia. Interviews are mandatory, but you can also use other methods, like photographs, videos, sound recordings e.t.c., in order to create an archive, which conveys your personal way of seeing the area.

B.The final stage of the course is to design a presentation of your archive on the square.

Final portfolio:

1. Your personal archive.

2. A book that documents the process of your work and includes the following:

• 1 page (min) about your practices of your field research.
• Selected pieces of your personal archive.
• Bibliographical notes, references to similar actions and anything that is connected to the way you examine Omonoia (sources: books, sites)
• Your research: connections with other similar actions (sources: books, sites)
• Sketches and processed images of your presentation.

3. A 3d model of your presentation

Videos and sound archives will be delivered in a cd.
