About Discussions Projects5 Journals5

The modern agora reimagines the ancient Greek marketplace as a contemporary urban space where community interaction, commerce, and civic life converge. These spaces serve as critical infrastructure for social connection and democratic exchange in increasingly digital societies.

The community explores agora concepts through diverse projects including purpose-built civic structures, horizontal urban platforms, pavilions that integrate natural environments, and reimagined commercial spaces that challenge traditional notions of control and public gathering.

AGORA Platform

Agora Platform can be exported all over the world. The horizontal building (and the funicular) can multiply the connections with the ground, the basement and the waterways and ports. The horizontal building is a translation of a new transversality between the new lifestyles linked to work and space.

Propagandizing Mall - implanting modern control

The project questioned the methodology of gentrification architecture and its political implication of lifestyle influence if we turn back time. Size of the mall matters. As religion, royal families and scholars dominates the social influence hence the urban fabric. The size of the new mall challenges the old types by giving axiality a new dimension.

AGORA

The vision of this project is to create a central area in the community and at the same time to help and support local small and medium-sized businesses, as well as the larger ones. We want to give the community opportunity to arrange various events, like exhibitions, lectures, theater and movie shows, political meetings and speeches, etc.,

Tyr, the Mosaic City

Tyr is a fragmented mosaic city. How to connect these fragments while keeping the charm of each one? The purpouse is to make porous boundaries by creating a link through the modern city. By 2030, the city will be saturated. The solution is to delimit and define the void in the city and give them value through architecture.
