Aegina Rising - Ανέβασε μια ευχή, ταξίδεψε την ευχή.
Δεκάδες μικρά γυάλινα μπουκαλάκια παίρνουν τη θέση των μαγικών jingle bells του Άη Βασίλη...
Τα φώτα της προβλήτας τα κάνουν να λαμπυρίζουν στο σκοτάδι, σαν άλλο άστρο φωτεινό...
Ο ήχος τους από το χειμωνιάτικο αεράκι στο λιμάνι, δίνει το σύνθημα για την έναρξη της μαγείας...
Και... η μαγεία κρύβεται μέσα τους!

Αυτές τις μέρες, σ’ ένα μυστικό εργαστήρι, κάποια βοηθοί του Άη Βασίλη ετοιμάζουν πυρετωδώς την πιο ανατρεπτική χριστουγεννιάτικη ιστορία, για όλους όσοι κατοικούν ή θα περάσουν από την Αίγινα!
Ένα γλυπτό χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο, κατασκευασμένο από ξύλο και ανακυκλώσιμα υλικά, θα στηθεί στις 16 Δεκεμβρίου στην Παλαιά Προβλήτα του λιμανιού της Αίγινας και στα κλαδιά του θα φιλοξενήσει την ...μαγεία!
Κι αυτό γιατί όλοι οι παραβρισκόμενοι θα έχουν την ευκαιρία όχι μόνο να το στολίσουν οι ίδιοι, αλλά να δημιουργήσουν το προσωπικό τους στολίδι, που δεν θα είναι άλλο παρά το γυάλινο μπουκαλάκι, στο οποίο ο καθένας θα βάλει μέσα την δική του ευχή!
Η μαγεία, όμως, δεν σταματάει εδώ! Ανήμερα των Θεοφανείων, ενώ θα σουρουπώνει, όλοι όσοι στόλισαν με τις ευχές τους το χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο, θα ξεκρεμάσουν τα μπουκαλάκια, θα τα φωτισουν και θα τα ρίξουν στο λιμάνι, για να μπερδευτούν και να ταξιδέψουν οι ευχές μέχρι τον Ναυτικό Όμιλο, όπου πλέον οι συμμετέχοντες θα πάρουν από ένα μπουκάλι, με μια ευχή - μήνυμα που θα τους έχει γράψει κάποιος άλλος!

Στόχος της δράσης αυτής, είναι να δείξουμε ότι είμαστε μέλη σε μια κοινωνία, και όχι απλώς άτομα.

Project:
"Permanent Residence 080203, Tzikides, Aegina" is puplished in "ARCHISEARCH.gr"

ARCHISEARCH.gr investigates, selects and presents projects that deal with various aspects of architecture throughout the world. Taking the role of an unconventional research tool, it seeks present and future cultural evolution through architecture, as well as the possible exchange with design, art, graphics and green/eco design. It poses questions aiming to provoke new thoughts and approaches. It has a vivid interest in experimentation and validation, whilst it underlines the wealth that lies within the coexistence of diverse ideas.

It focuses on issues relating to the built (and often unbuilt) architectural context and its parameters; from the social benefits of a project and its contribution to the urban area, to its ambiance and construction materiality. It promotes the connection between society and architectural production and explores the ways through which architecture urges us to interact with the social and natural context.

The 6th Biennale of Young Greek Architects is organised by the Hellenic Institute of Architecture, within the framework of its activities to support the development of contemporary Greek architecture.
The purpose of the events of the Biennale of Young Greek Architects is to gather together a representative sample of contemporary architectural output by young architects, up to 45 years of age, to promote new creative viewpoints and to exchange views about the development of an architectural discourse and an architectural oeuvre in Greece today.
The Biennale presents completed projects, as well as unbuilt proposals, which correspond to real commissions for project designs. At the exhibition site there will be a series of open discussions, with guest speakers, for the purpose of providing a critical evaluation of the full range of participations.
