In traditional Athenian houses, the courtyard — particularly those shared by multiple dwellings — functioned as the city’s private outdoor space. These communal courtyards formed links between neighbouring houses and supported a wide range of everyday activities: solitude and socialising, domestic work, rest, celebration, and gardening. They operated as vital, lived-in environments embedded within the urban fabric.
The REMAP Info Point occupies an Athenian courtyard and reinterprets this typology through a temporary architectural installation. Constructed from reusable building materials — including scaffolding planks, concrete blocks, construction lights with protective cages, cables, and wiring — the structure is assembled as a provisional system rather than a finished object.
These elements are temporarily recomposed and redefined to reactivate the courtyard as a shared spatial container. The installation revives the spirit of the traditional Athenian courtyard as a place of gathering, pause, and interaction, while openly displaying its own material and provisional nature.
The use of raw construction components signals a moment of transition: an environment under formation, where something new is about to take place.
