"Palimpsest dialogues" is a case study in Athens historic city center that focuses on the restatement of the existing relations between archeological sites and active public spaces. Not only a space but mentality issue as well, regarding the perception of urban experience..
On the western, is attempted the correlation between the central gates of roman Agora, Hadrian’s library, Monastiraki square and the ascension to Acropolis hill. On the eastern axis is formed a complex of successive spaces that aim to improve public spaces’ flow. Contribution to this, of Vital importance, plays the successive chronological stratigraphy of the area that forms the palimpsest.
