The Municipality of Thessaloniki is announcing an international architectural competition for the renovation of the square and the axis of Aristotle, after a relevant approval given by the Municipal Council.
"We seek through an international architectural competition to stimulate global interest in this regeneration and thus come up with a plan for the axis of Aristotle, which will integrate and capture the modern spirit of the city and its goals. Through this project, we wish to re-establish Thessaloniki on the world stage", said the Mayor of Thessaloniki, Konstantinos Zervas.
The Deputy Mayor of Technical Works, Ephraim Kyrizidis, presented the design of the Municipality of Thessaloniki in detail to the Municipal Council, noting that the goal is to produce a design that highlights the space as a strong landmark and at the same time is in harmony with the special characteristics of the area.
In particular, according to what the Deputy Mayor of Technical Works stated, the main axes of the renovation are:
The study area is developed in a surface of 32.5 acres from the coastal front to Egnatia Street. The study area also includes the sidewalks on Niki Avenue on both sides of the axis to Plutarchou and Demosthenous streets respectively, as they are an integral part of the overall image from the seafront. It is noted that the axis of Aristotle has great architectural, urban, historical and social significance and for this reason enjoys a status of protection.
