H102 «ROMANCE CONTEMPORAINE»

Υψηλή

αισθητική

στις παρυφές

του Υμηττού

Ακόμα ένα έξαιρετικό project του Παύλου

Χατζηαγγελίδη και του 314 Architecture Studio

Σε μια περίοδο που ο ΕΝΦΙΑ και η εφιαλτική κατάρρευση της αγοράς ακινήτων σχεδόν εξαφάνισαν την αρχιτεκτονική παραγωγή κατοικιών, το να βλέπει κανείς νέα κτήρια με ιδιαίτερο χαρακτήρα, κυρίως στην Αθήνα, αποτελεί «όαση» αισθητικής ενάντια στη μουντή, καταθλιπτική ατμόσφαιρα που αποπνέουν οι περισσότερες περιοχές του λεκανοπεδίου. Αν εξαιρέσει κανείς το θείο δώρο της θάλασσας, του γαλάζιου ουρανού και του ήλιου που απολαμβάνει για χιλιάδες χρόνια ο κάτοικος της Αττικής, η πραγματική εγκατάλειψη που γνωρίζει το μεγαλύτερο μέρος των κατοικιών, εξαιτίας όλων των δυσβάσταχτων για τους ιδιοκτήτες φόρων, δημιουργεί ένα συνολικό κλίμα απογοήτευσης και -σε πολλές περιπτώσεις- απελπισίας.

Από την άλλη, όλοι αναγνωρίζουν πως ένα κτήριο για να μπορεί να προσφέρει υπεραξία στον επενδυτή του θα πρέπει πλέον να διαθέτει κάτι «ιδιαίτερο», εκτός από την απαραίτητη λειτουργικότητα και την αξιοπιστία στην κατασκευή του. Γιατί δεν αρκεί να διαθέτεις μια υπέροχη θέα προς τη θάλασσα, την οποία έτσι κι αλλιώς απολαμβάνεις περπατώντας δίπλα στην πιο κοντινή ακτή, αλλά αξίζει να την απολαμβάνεις κάτω από τις κατάλληλες συνθήκες που δημιουργεί μια εξαιρετική σε αρχιτεκτονική και διακόσμηση κατοικία.

Μία τέτοια περίπτωση «νέου» κτηρίου αποτελεί ακόμα ένα έξαιρετικό project του Παύλου Χατζηαγγελίδη και του 314 Architecture Studio στις παρυφές του Υμηττού, στην Άνω Γλυφάδα. Ουσιαστικά, πρόκειται για την ανακαίνιση εκ των θεμελίων πολυκατοικίας που κατασκευάστηκε τη δεκαετία του 1970, σε μία περιοχή που τα τελευταία χρόνια συνεχίζει να συγκεντρώνει το ενδιαφέρον πολλών επενδυτών εξαιτίας της προνομιακής της -σε σχέση με τη θέα και την απόσταση από τη θάλασσα- γεωγραφική θέση. Το h102 «Romance Contemporaine», όπως ονομάζει το project το αρχιτεκτονικό γραφείο 314, είναι μια κατοικία συνολικής επιφάνειας 300 τετραγωνικών μέτρων, σε οικόπεδο έκτασης 370 τετραγωνικών και αναπτύσσεται σε τέσσερα επίπεδα. Το εντυπωσιακό στο κτήριο της Γλυφάδας είναι το τελευταίο επίπεδο της, ένα όροφος ο οποίος διαθέτει ένα πρωτοποριακό για τα ελληνικά δεδομένα συρόμενο σύστημα από μεταλικές κουρτίνες, αρκετά διαδεδομένο τα τελευταία χρόνια στις ταράτσες του Παρισιού και το οποίο προσφέρει στους ενοίκους τη μοναδική αίσθηση του εξωτερικού περιβάλλοντος, εξασφαλίζοντας όμως παράλληλα τόσο την ιδιωτικότητα όσο και την προστασία από τον ζεστό ήλιο του καλοκαιριού.

Κατά τα άλλα, στην πυλωτή, στην πρωταρχική βιώσιμη λειτουργία της κατοικίας, περιλαμβάνεται μια συρόμενη οροφή που ρυθμίζει την κυκλοφορία του θερμού αέρα μέσα στο κτήριο. Ταυτόχρονα, στη δυτική πλευρά, τα υπάρχοντα προεξέχοντα στοιχεία μετατρέπονται σε «ηλιακά τοιχώματα», το γνωστό πλέον και στην Ελλάδα σύστημα «sun walls trombe», το οποίο περιλαμβάνει εξαιρετικά τροπικά φυτά. Παράλληλα, αποικοδομήθηκαν όλοι οι εφαπτόμενοι εσωτερικοί τοίχοι, επιτρέποντας έτσι στον κήπο να «εισβάλει» στην κυριολεξία στην κατοικία μέσω νέων, εξαιρετικά κομψών καμπυλωτών ανοιγμάτων. Περιττό βέβαια να αναφερθεί ότι το κυρίως υπνοδωμάτιο της οικίας διαθέτει ιδιατέρως μεγάλα ανοίγματα που προσφέρουν μια απίστευτη θέα προς τη θάλασσα, ενώ αξίζει να σημειώσουμε ότι η κουζίνα και η τραπεζαρία βρίσκονται στον πρώτο όροφο.

Ορθοφωνία και Τεχνικές Προφορικής Παρουσίασης: Μίλα και Αφηγήσου καθαρά και εκφραστικά
biscotto coffee+ (Mediterranean Cosmos)
Δευτέρα 4 Φεβρουαρίου
Είσοδος ελεύθερη

Το workshop απευθύνεται σε όλους, όσοι χρειάζονται αποτελεσματική επικοινωνία μέσω του λόγου καθημερινά και σε επαγγελματίες που η έκθεση στο δημόσιο λόγο αποτελεί μέρος της δουλειάς τους, όπως:
-Εκπαιδευτικοί, Εκφωνητές, Δημοσιογράφοι, Ηθοποιοί – Αφηγητές, Ξεναγοί, Πολιτικοί, Επιστήμονες – Ομιλητές σε συνέδρια, Υπεύθυνοι εταιρικών τμημάτων, Τραγουδιστές, Δικηγόροι κ.α.

Πολλές φορές όταν απευθυνόμαστε σε κάποιον προσωπικά ή σε πολλούς δημόσια ή απλά αφηγούμαστε μία ιστορία, αντιλαμβανόμαστε ότι το μήνυμα ‘’δεν περνάει’’ προς τα έξω. Ίσως γιατί οι άλλοι εστιάζονται κυρίως στον τρόπο που μιλάμε και λιγότερο στο περιεχόμενο του λόγου μας.
Πως μπορούμε λοιπόν να μιλάμε καθαρά, με ευκρίνεια και εκφραστικότητα;
• Πως μπορεί η φωνή μας να έχει όγκο και ένταση χωρίς να κουραζόμαστε;
• Πόσα ηχοχρώματα έχει η φωνή μας όταν μιλάμε και πως μπορούμε να επιλέξουμε το πιο κατάλληλο ανάλογα με την περίσταση;
• Πως μπορούμε να αφηγούμαστε ένα οποιοδήποτε κείμενο πειστικά, με το ανάλογο χρώμα και συναίσθημα;
• Πως μπορούμε να αποπνέουμε κύρος και αποφασιστικότητα με τον λόγο μας;
• Πως μπορούμε να γοητεύουμε με την φωνή μας όταν μιλάμε;

Τις απαντήσεις θα εξερευνήσουμε μαζί σε ένα ακόμη biscottoworkshop.

Bill Murray Wakes Up To "I Got You Babe"... Again

1993

Bill Murray can't stop waking up to the Sonny and Cher song "I Got You Babe" in the movie Groundhog Day.

Playing the surly weatherman Phil Connors, Murray heads to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for a familiar ritual: the emergence of Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog that will determine whether or not we'll have six more weeks of winter based on whether or not he sees his shadow on Groundhog Day.

He sleeps at a cozy bed and breakfast and wakes up bright and early at 6:00 a.m., the clock radio playing the Sonny and Cher classic "I Got You Babe." He plows through the day, feigning interest in the event when he's on camera, but showing no regard for his co-workers and total disdain for the citizens of Punxsutawney.

The next day, he wakes up in the same room, once again at 6:00 a.m., and once again with "I Got You Babe" playing on the radio. He quickly learns that he is repeating the same day, and when he wakes up the next morning, it starts all over again. This goes on for quite a while, with the same events taking place every day, and only Murray's reactions to them changing. The time warp goes on long enough for him to become a piano virtuoso and get to know everyone he encounters very well, which he uses to his advantage. Every day he wakes up hoping it will be different, but every day he awakes to the same old song.
