WAR FEVER
Nicosia is intruded by a ferocious catastrophe in February 2042. The city is deluged by an inexplicably massive quantity of sand from an unidentified source. It is covered in grey sand and dense mist. The city is evacuated and the inhabitants move to the highlands or along the coast. In the moment of this biblical destruction, a conflict, that dates back to the beginning of the century, exacerbates. Two well organized and equipped teams are in war for the aesthetic authority of the city, each one trying to impose its own architectural idiom. On the one hand, the defenders of classic architecture, often found in the walled city, seek to extend their influence outside the walls, while on the other hand the adversaries of classic homogeneity that is imposed on districts of special architectural character, demand the complete liberalization of aesthetic and city planning criteria and constrains. An urban landscape that is threatened by extinction turns to a battlefield where the architectural pluralism and polyphony is in danger.
Η Λευκωσία πλήττεται από μια αδίστακτη φυσική καταστροφή τον Φεβρουάριο του 2042. Ανεξήγητα μεγάλη ποσότητα άμμου η προέλευση της οποίας δεν εξακριβώνεται, κατακλύζει την πόλη. Ολόκληρη η πόλη σκεπάζεται από γκρίζα άμμο και πυκνή ομίχλη. Οι κάτοικοι εκκενώνουν την πρωτεύουσα και μετακομίζουν στα ορεινά και τα παράλια. Την στιγμή αυτής της βιβλικής καταστροφής μια διαμάχη που είχε αρχίσει να εμφανίζεται στις αρχές του αιώνα φθάνει σε όξυνση. Δύο καλά οργανωμένες και εξοπλισμένες ομάδες πολεμούν για να επιβάλουν η κάθε μια το δικό της αρχιτεκτονικό χαρακτήρα στη Λευκωσία, κατακτώντας, έτσι, την αισθητική εξουσία της πόλης. Οι μεν, υπερασπιστές μιας κλασσικής αρχιτεκτονικής που χαρακτηρίζει την εντός τον τειχών Λευκωσία επιδιώκουν να επεκτείνουν την επιρροή τους πέρα από τα τείχη, ενώ οι δε, πολέμιοι της κλασσικής ομοιογένειας που επιβάλλεται σε περιοχές ειδικού χαρακτήρα, επιδιώκουν την πλήρη φιλελευθεροποίηση της αρχιτεκτονικής και πολεοδομίας από αισθητικά κριτήρια και ελέγχους. Ένα αστικό τοπίο που κινδυνεύει με αφανισμό μετατρέπεται σε πεδίο μάχης όπου διακυβεύεται ο αρχιτεκτονικός πλουραλισμός και πολυφωνία.
