A walk on the mountain Lycabetous, athens

The sight of the rock, its breakages, its complex structure and the imporsing atmosfere that crates to the visitor....those were the most important factors which formed the main idea of the project. 
The main concept is the formation of consecutive breakages on the rock which compose a walk aligned with the inclination of the mountain. 
Those breakages are defined by trapezoid forms and the chosen material is compacted soil, a natural material, fully integrated to the environment.  
The trapezoid forms have a height diference of four to five steps and apart from composing the walking route on the mountain they also function as resting points....
Walking....and resting....along with the mountain.... 
someone can pause to admire the view to the city or sit on stone benches in multiple directions....and always being able to admire one of athens'  most important natural green spots.
