Park within Korydallos correctional facility

A Restorative Space of Hope

LOCATION

Korydallos, Athens

YEAR

2009

This architectural project reimagines a correctional facility by integrating a restorative park that fosters rehabilitation and community. Central to the design is a reflecting pool, offering a tranquil focal point, while diverse spaces—such as a playground, soccer field, and contemplative pathways—cater to various activities and encourage social interaction. The design emphasizes sustainability, incorporating native plants, water-efficient systems, and eco-friendly materials. Collaborative murals, created by inmates and external artists, transform the space into a canvas for creative expression. This park is a sophisticated architectural intervention that redefines the correctional environment, promoting physical, emotional, and psychological well-being while offering a model for humane, rehabilitative design.
