2014
The future use of the building of Maison Crystal in the city of Thessaloniki is the reason for this workshop conceived in the context of the 49th Demetria Festival. The workshop was developed in two ways: the open discussion MCUndone as well as the MCRedux architectural workshop.
39 participants, young architects and architectural teams, experimented with possible and unlikely scenarios for the future use of the space and designed 39 images, based on the thoughts and ideas of citizens, who submitted their proposals, through a page created on facebook specifically for this purpose. The 39
proposals were gathered in one edition, while they were also presented in the form of an exhibition on the site of the former Maison Crystal building.
