In this new reality of pollution, the earth’s surface is transformed into a hostile environment. Here, man has to hide deep into the earth to protect himself. In a closed and regulated environment, society evolves in order to suit to the new survival situations.
The location of the shelter allows access from all of Lykavittos’ surrounding areas through entrances that lie on the slopes of the mountain, as well as from more removed areas that connect through the underground metro to the Evangelismos station. Inside Lykavittos, many meters of rock separate people from the outside atmosphere. Initially the shelter has been designed taking into consideration seclusion and self-sufficiency. The nuclear meltdown of the reactor at the Fukushima power station Daiichi, during the tidal wave created by the earthquake of 11th of March 2011, constituted the vital motive for the creation of this shelter.
With this pretext the shelter of Lykavittos began as a nuclear shelter with the attributes of water and air filtration, solar power generators from the now-vacant city of Athens and its own underground farming. However, the shelter with the present attributes can also correspond to other destructive events, such as those of a biological or chemical threat, earthquake or even to the event of a war.
The Lykavittos shelter program is but only a prototype of a new series of shelters that can be constructed in the surrounding mountainous areas of the Attiki region to shelter the growing population.
