Situated in the Athenian district of Psyri, this architectural research confronts overtourism and gentrification displacing local craftspeople. By retrofitting derelict structures and utilising spolia construction via a “new-antiparochi model”, this project explores a framework of 'useful tourism', where visitors participate in an experience economy of regional crafts, culinary practices, and construction, to disrupt the current socio-economic trajectories and facilitate community reinhabitation.
