在当代的大都市，社会公共空间具有多种社会功能的现象非常普遍，人们可以在公共场地中锻炼身体、提高运动技能、增强团队精神等。在雅典，孩子们日常的生活安排并不能给孩子们提供充足的户外探索、发展想象力和创造力的机会，另一方面，现有的活动设施也过于陈旧。因此，雅典的非营利组织“Paradeigmatos Harin”进行了一场以促进儿童户外活动为目的的探索。他们主动联系设计师、赞助商等等，在6个真实的场地空间和一个虚拟网络空间开始了这一探索。
这六处活动空间分布在雅典的不同街区，主要定位在与青少年联系比较紧密的地方。设计者们希望能为周边的孩子提供一处氛围独特且适宜青少年活动、探索的空间。
六处户外场地中的一处位于雅典卫城的山麓，沿着一条通向新的卫城博物馆城市城市主干道。这条街的北边是由六个具有独立所有权的不同时期的建筑组成，包括三家有名的新古典主义建筑，而街道的南边是一所小学。由于靠近学校，整个空间的利用率较高，不仅是儿童会在这个空间活动，在放学的时候这个地方还聚集了许多前来接孩子的家长。整个孔家可以大致分为六个部分，从西往东的,第一、第三和第五部分是作为学校前面的集散场地。南边的第二和第三部分是主要的儿童活动区域，里面有抛物线形状的座椅成为坐着玩耍的场地。所选游乐设备的也是针对6-12岁的儿童以及更小的幼儿设计的。场地内部放置的平衡和下跌的玩具是为了开发孩子们的专注能力，同时引导他们形成重要的社会技能——沟通与观察。
此外，这组名为“ PXATHENS”的街头小品还制作了1:1的实体模型参加了在希腊威尼斯举行的第13届威尼斯建筑双年展。通过展览我们可以看到，“ PXATHENS”街头小品不仅在丰富城市空间方面发挥作用，还可以促进人与小品的互动，从而达到健身、娱乐的目的。

It is common ground in the contemporary metropolis that spaces for play are the fundamental public spaces in which social development, movement skills and team spirit are enhanced and therefore their presence at a neighbourhood scale is imperative. In Athens today, on the one side children’s everyday life offers limited opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, development of imagination and ingenuity. On the other side, the existing spaces for play – approximately 130 in the City of Athens’ ownership – are repetitive, standardised and in their majority in a degraded condition. They lack character, definition, identity, reference, memory, relation to context. Athens’ spaces for play reflect the complete lack of a conceptual effort in their design and constitute samples of a random and unplanned implementation process. Only half of the spaces are today certified for meeting safety standards with respect to equipment, construction and facilities.
Seven principles
The PXATHENS project based upon the recording and assessment of the existing situation of spaces for play in the southern and central districts of the City of Athens, focuses on six degraded spaces and in turn formulates a strategy for their redesign. The strategy is summarised in the following principles: projection of references | places for all ages | catering for multi-dimensional play | identification of character | folding the ground | negotiation of borders | creation of a network.
Network and nexuses
The envisioned PXATHENS’ spaces for play will offer the ‘in-situ’ joy of discovering nature, of confirmation of physical skills, of observation and exploration, of social coexistence in an autonomous, familiar, safe environment. Further- more, their interconnection will define a physical and digital network of play, to which everyone, – young and old – will have unlimited – real but also digital – access.
Implementation: the expandable model
The PXATHENS project is the first initiative of the non-profit organisation ‘Paradeigmatos Harin’- developed in col- laboration with the Municipality of Athens. The initiative strives to bring into creative contact donors, sponsors and citizens aiming to associate the responsibility for solidarity and offering with individual effort for participation and progress. Starting with the pilot project of 6 real and 1 digital spaces, an expandable model is being established in the central neighbourhoods of Athens.
Six identities
Within the network, each of the first six nexuses is characterised by an effort to bring forward a particular characteris- tic of the spaces’ urban context, which provides the space with a special ‘identity’ highlighting to the youth the urban, social and cultural value the places of their everyday lives have. Therefore the six properties along a pedestrian street on the foothills of the Acropolis defined the ‘Six Thresholds’. A crossroad with its serene, almost domestic atmosphere was rearticulated in the ‘Three Corners’. The adjacency to a church dedicated to Prophet Elijah, who according to Christian tradition had to be built upon hilltops became reference to the ‘Hill’s Plateaus’. A plot at the corner of an urban block within a densely built Athenian neighbourhood was treated as a ‘Lot’. The inner courtyard of a typical urban block, with its hidden entrance and impressive tall trees, defined the ‘Secret Garden’. In the case of a church square, the existing dense, forest vegetation, remnants of the former grove, identified the ‘Forest Square’.
Six Thresholds’
The space for play stretches on the foothills of the Acropolis, alongside one of the City’s most important pedestrian streets which leads to the New Acropolis Museum. The north side of the street is defined by six separate ownerships and buildings of different periods, including three listed neoclassical buildings alongside polykatoikias of the 30’s and 60’s, while the south side is occupied by an elementary school designed by Patroklos Karantinos. Due to the proximity to the school, the space while degraded with the typical concrete configurations of flower beds and sittings of the 70’s, remains a very busy place used both by children and their guardians mainly during the hours that school is dismissed. The entrances to the ownerships the thresholds gave a rhythm and character to the intervention. Their reinstatement determined the organisation of the space, which thus was divided into six sections, on the projections of the ownerships’ boundaries. From the west to the east, the first, third and fifth section, function as accesses to the school. The south side of the second and third section is where the main playing area is located, surrounded by con- crete configurations of parabolic shapes which become sitting and playing elements engulfing the existing trees. The selected equipment is aimed towards two age groups: toddlers and children between the ages of six and twelve years old. Balance and tumble toys have been specified, as they develop the children’s ability to focus while shaping important social skills and encouraging communication through observation, storytelling and conversation. The construction and operation of the ‘Six Thresholds’ space for play was completed in Autumn 2013.
6 voids: PXATHENS in the Hellenic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale
The PXATHENS project was presented at the 13th Architecture Biennale of Venice constituting an installation in the Hellenic Pavilion of 1:1 transpositions of the six spaces for play in Athens’ centre. Within the exhibition context each artefact undertook a double function which related to the human body and the experience of the space and the other exhibits. Each object was constructed with the prescribed materials for the actual space for play in Athens’ centre and placed respectively in the exhibition space within six voids that related to the real urban condition of the real site, in the real city.
