Improvised construction The project was done with Pikionis's intuition and aesthetic sensibility about the site. A general idea was laid out; however, the design was never specified in detail. Everything was adapted in situ during the construction which was carried out by small construction teams that Pikionis supervised and guided through suggestions, examples and dialogue. He quoted: “ The common architectural supervision would be totally inadequate and the architect should build the work himself through the hands of his craftsmen ”. By supporting craftsmen's creativity he achieved a perfect result between his guidance and the workers' execution: “ Try it as you know; you have your own way. I only gave an idea. I am sure you can set it up better ”. His thinking is in a way close to Le Corbusier's during his brutalism period, when he considered incidental imperfection done by workers a beautiful part of the finished project.
