Uploaded on 2020-07-28 by ANTONIOS KONTIZAS
1. Short description This photo was shooted by me in Koropi a suburb of Athens. In this photo we can see a high school near my neighborhood which was built in 2006 and is located in the center of the town. 2. Visible information The building was constructed by reinforced concrete and there is steel reinforcement above the buiding for a future floor. There is also a road that connects the avenue with the school. 3. Invisible information Unforntunately the sidewalk is too small and dangerous for the students, there is no parking for the cars and the perpendicular road is two-way. Therefore there is a huge traffic congestion when the school is open. The second invisible information is that the school is too small for about 200-250 students so during the break time there is overcrowding in schoolyard. In addition there is a lot of noise that bother the neighbors, beacause the building is next to houses. Furthermore this building did not design for this use but commercial. 4.Contribution of planning a livable urban space This school must be relocated to an appropiate area that is secured the student's safety and improve citizen's quality of life.
