Uploaded on 2016-06-20 by Eva
In this photo the greek post-modern urban landscape in unravelling:antenna terraces and dense infrastructure of polykatoikia(poly:multi,katoikia:house) accomodating the affluence of remains with mementos of the 20th century• a clear mediterranean sky surrounded by lively trees growing the antifasis between nature and construction.At night the invisible becomes visible:light,real forms,plain yet depressed shapes. A sociopolitical story is unfolding through them:informal and ephemeral architecture as well as lack of common aesthetics. Defeating the lack of common aesthetics emerges as a challenge of the Crisis Era:the creation of communal gardens,transparent glass structures,combination of cultural architectural characteristics with scarcely polulated sustainable models can lead to the rediscovery of the archetype hospitality, openness and the very own translucence.The can finally lead to a healthy urban organism.
