Typology of Athens Road Hierachy

It is widely accepted that the road is the blood vassel of the city; there for the main road named ‘arterial road ‘. The most basic step of understanding of the city is understaing the road system this is because accessibility, transportation, density and flaw of movemnt can be found through the road system. In this project, which is needed to make a rule to make place for bartering depend on the type of goods, quantity and user; therefore the Road Hieracy can be the basic element to make the guideline for the barter network. Gerani has not only the best accessibility in the athens but also diverse road hieracy. Hence , it can be the ideal place to make the guide line.

Block & Polykatoikia

Due to the urban planning policy of the Greece government policy and capitalism system , the grid pattern and the Polykatoikia ( typical building of Greece) spreaded rapidly throughout the whole Athens after the War. The small open sapce in the block are created due to the Architecture regulation (the building-to-land ratio); however, the space usucally do not use or illegal buidlings are made. In polykatoikia, there are some basic genotypes such as stoa, balcony and set-back are, and 4 kinds of polykatoikia are categorized depend on the genotypes. The charateristics that I mentioned are important elements to make guide line as well.

Guidelines

Depend on the element - road hierachy, open space in and out side of the block, side walk, arcade, genotypes of polikatoikia and 4 kind of polikatoikia-, the guide line is dedsiged. 10 types are categorized and each have their appropriate type of goods , programs, and role which can vitalized the Bartering System in Athens.
