Tassos Langis and Yannis Gaitanidis, Builders Housewives and the construction of Modern Athens, (still) 2022, film.
To celebrate the revised third edition of Ioanna Theocharopoulou’s book Builders, Housewives and the Construction of Modern Athens (Onassis Foundation, 2022), the Onassis Foundation is hosting a wide-ranging discussion in the context of Archtober 2022 (NYC's Architecture and Design Month) about the relevance of this modern city, its architecture, and ancient history. In a parallel trajectory, the Onassis Foundation produced documentary, by Tassos Langis and Yiannis Gaitanidis, based on Ioanna Theocharopoulou’s book and sharing the same title, begins (also this fall in New York) its United States and Canada tour, as part of the official Architecture and Design Film Festival program (2022–23).
North American premiere at the Architecture and Design Film Festival 2022
The city of Athens is so much more than the classical architecture that adorns it since there is a vibrant energy, buzz, and density that fills its streets and neighborhoods. The film Builders, Housewives and the Construction of Modern Athens (87 minutes, 2021) by Tassos Langis and Yiannis Gaitanidis unveils a new perspective of the city, examining the most distinctive Athenian building type—the polykatoikía—and the city's reconstruction by the anonymous lay builders and their housewives, who were the most unlikely “co-authors.” The documentary takes a deep dive into the lives of the provincials who came to Athens after the Civil War and sheds light on how they developed their craft and communicated with the educated architects. Based on the book of the same title by Ioanna Theocharopoulou, the film proposes a fascinating account of the provincials’ role and encounter with the “project of modernity.”

Architectural historians have tended to disparage the lack of formal planning and the apparent homogeneity of Athen’s “box-like” concrete buildings. By casting Athens as a uniquely local mode of informal urbanism, a phenomenon that, in a broader sense, is found around the world and particularly in the “developing” world, Theocharopoulou’s book offers a critical re-evaluation of the city as a successful adaptation to circumstance, enriching our understanding of urbanism as a truly collective design activity. Builders, Housewives and the Construction of Modern Athens advocates for an architectural history that allows access to the conceptual worlds and the imaginations of builders and inhabitants. This approach departs from a focus on structures designed exclusively by architects and planners, to explore processes—financial, cultural, and material—that rely on self-organization and community. These improvisations and adaptations, which succeeded in producing a dense and vibrant city, can, in turn, help us imagine how to create more sustainable and livable urban models today.

Schindler House: 100 Years in the Making emphasizes acts of making, unmaking, and remaking carried out by artists, architects, historians, writers, organizers, and cultural practitioners that have constituted the house and its mythos over this century. Designed and built by 1922, the house was in its first instantiation a radical proposition for modern collective dwelling in a minimal existence—a campsite enclosed by concrete, glass, and redwood. But the house was also constantly in flux, painted, carpeted, curtained, dismantled, reconstructed, excavated, and reimagined. The house’s experimental promise, first put forth now one hundred years ago, lives on today.
Schindler House: 100 Years in the Making guides visitors through Schindler’s cooperative dwelling for two couples, built for himself, his wife Pauline, and their friends Clyde and Marian Chace. Each studio hosts a gentle timeline of landscape and property, construction and maintenance, guests (invited and otherwise) and domesticity, and preservation and pedagogy. Thematic topics are uncovered by various contributors, including historical and archival documents from Reyner Banham, Bernard Judge, Esther McCoy, and R.M. Schindler from the collections of the UCSB Architecture & Design Collections, Los Angeles Times, Long Beach Press Telegram, UC Berkeley Collections, UCLA Young Research Library Special Collections, UCLA Department of Architecture & Urban Design, Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution, Southern California Institute of Architecture Media Archive, Architectural Association Photo Library, and USC Undergraduate Architecture Program.
Artists and contributors to the exhibition include:
Carmen Argote,Fiona Connor,Julian Hoeber,Kathi Hofer,stephanie mei huang,Andrea Lenardin Madden,Renée Petropoulos,Gala Porras-Kim,Stephen Prina,Jakob Sellaoui, Peter Shire
With an emphasis on process over finality, the exhibition incorporates a rotating vitrine which accommodates the display and interpretation of new materials that emerge during the run of the show. Materials on display from the collections of the UCSB Architecture & Design Collections, Los Angeles Times, Long Beach Press Telegram, UCLA Young Research Library Special Collections, UCLA Department of Architecture & Urban Design, Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) collection at the Library of Congress, National Parks Service, Southern California Institute of Architecture Media Archive, Architectural Association Photo Library, and USC Undergraduate Architecture Program will be on view.
The exhibition is complemented by summer-long programming and events including seminars, lectures, reading groups, benefit events, edible performances, in-person curator-led tours, and asynchronous audio tours.
