TAVROS

The architectural practice "AREA Architecture Research Athens" was commissioned to design a multifunctional structure for the industrial space of the same name, operated by the curatorial collective Locus Athens in the Tavros district of Athens.
"It is inhabited by a curious object: movable, light-weight and playful, an over-sized piece of furniture that changes according to need or whim. A colorful curtain travels with the object, sometimes concealing and sometimes revealing the functions of a large, suspended table: a place for a workshop, a presentation, an informal meeting, or just a desk. The minimal and ephemeral nature of the intervention draws on the refugee history of the area. As the steel structure migrates, its relationship to space changes, forming new organizations and hierarchies, and allowing new events and exhibitions to take place."_ AREA Architecture Research Athens
Qoop was commissioned to fabricate this multifunctional structure, translating the project's central architectural intentions into a construction system designed to move freely within the space, while allowing for complete disassembly and transportation.
