In an inactive part of Turkovounia, where an extensive plateau is created, the workshops are located in the cavity created by the rocks, which they follow by penetrating it from one side, while on the other side they protrude forming a new skin, where actions related to handmade constructions are hosted. The structure of the workshops amphitheatrically frames an outdoor space, creating opportunities for collective actions and acts as a core of synergy. The core has a site/festival character, obeying a composition of geometric regularity with carvings, rails, small cranes, pedestals and slabs of hard material. The spatial structure consists of 3 modules connected by continuous corridors at different heights from the ground within a 6x6 m structural grid system, which leaves the ground free for outdoor and semi-outdoor activities. The space is completed with movable curtains that subdivide and multiply it, change its status (from closed to semi-outdoor) and offer opportunities for collaboration and learning. At the boundaries there are supportive spaces and groups of collective workshops, which are formed at different levels, taking on the functional character of a scaffolding, while in the center there are rooms for individual workshops that have the possibility of being joined together.
