This thesis proposes a new Art Institution that tackles Athens’ urban decay by merging art with public works maintenance. This institution will emphasize hands-on training in urban art maintenance and civil craftsmanship, prioritizing practical interventions over theoretical research. It aims to provide skills to implement small-scale, impactful art-based improvements and cooperate with different groups of communities and municipalities to mitigate city deterioration. Grounded in Practice Theory, the building acts as a living tool designed to manage the physical production, distribution, and storage of this civil-craft knowledge. Through temporary, art-driven interventions on its own plug-and-play architectural structure, the institution reconnects inhabitants with the cityscape, embodying the principle of “small steps toward a big impact” to drive a continuous, meaningful urban renewal.
