The sharing ideas for sharing space workshop organized in Zurich by
NetHood and INURA Zurich Institute, in the context of the MAZI project and INURA Coop Initiative, resulted in a long-term collaboration between Co-Hab Athens and INURA Athens groups, which was inaugurated in the best possible way: a 4-day workshop at the Greek Pavilion in Venice Architecture Biennale, #ThisIsACo-op, titled "Co-housing practices: inventing protypes for Athens".
Many of the people that Dimitra Siatitsa (INURA Athens) and Constantina Theodorou (Co-Hab Athens) met during their visit in Zurich were now the special guests in the workshop to discuss with various experts from Greece the possibility to exchange knowledge and experiences between the two contexts.
We discussed in smaller and larger groups about what is generic and what is context-specific in the conception, design and implementation of these cooperative housing and living projects in Zurich.
This will hopefully stimulate local groups in Athens, like the Co-app building and INURA Athens, to develop similar projects inspired from and adapted to the Greek reality. At the same time, this exchange will be also an opportunity for self-reflection for the active participants in Zurich, potentially helping the existing projects to adjust to the changing landscape and requirements of future projects, similarly to the NeNa1 learning process from previous experiences with Kraftwerk1 and Kalkbreite.
