Medusa’s Labyrinth
Located on the island, Agria Gramvousa, lies one of the most ancient monsters from Ancient Greek Mythology. The all-mighty Medusa fled to the island after her prevail in the battle against Perseus, to grant us the privilege of experiencing her tale through her very own Labyrinth. This labyrinth takes on the challenges of evolving ornament into story telling devices and inhabitations. Medusa’s Labyrinth invokes notions of frippery with its undulating roof conditions that express homage to the original topography of the untouched landscape of the island. Not only will this labyrinth serve as an experiential quest but as well as a living quarter for the all mighty being. Here she will be accommodated with narrow intertwining halls that mimic her locks of snakes as well as gardens and aquatic features to represent the monster’s once beauty.
