“Void As A Stage: Achillion Coastal Platform”, Thessaloniki, Greece [1997] _ Architect: Finn Geipel / LIN.

“The sea is, for Thessaloniki, a geographical, historical and psychological determinant, a vital and inseparable part of the city´s very existence. The Achillion Coastal Platform is one part of an initiative to ‘provoke spatial episodes on the coast’ on the occasion of Thessaloniki’s designation as the ‘European Capital of Culture’ in 1997. The city of Thessaloniki has developed as a long strip around the gulf of Thermaikos. The ‘Spatial Episodes’ project consists of a series of playful points along this strip that at the same time function as stations for a public transport system of water vessels to replace the tram system which circulated along the quay at the turn of the century.

ACHILLION is one of the eight vaporetto stations along the seafront will link the northwestern port and the airport, located southeast of the city, via passenger ferry. “
