Περιγραφή
The book you are holding in your hands is a small photographic essay about Athens. Art
books usually have the character of somewhat brutal cataloguing; this is because their
form usually promotes the presentation of a linear, almost constitutional narrative that
to some extent enervates the text on the altar of presenting evolutionary similar architectural
compositions; I would refrain from constructing something like that, however.
Thus, in the present publication the reader will have the opportunity to approach issues defying homogenization and will therefore have the chance to examine disparate elements of Athenian architecture: from a 1930s atrium in Vassilissis (Queen) Olgas Avenue to an example of Brutalism in the Zografou area. This admixture is not an idiosyncratic conception, but rather a necessity, because Athens may be one today, but its architectures are many more.
