Builders, Housewives and the Construction of Modern Athens
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.

Christian Zervos & Cahiers d’art : Η Αρχαϊκή Στροφή
Στo πλαίσιo της έκθεσης Christian Zervos & Cahiers d’art : Η Αρχαϊκή Στροφή το Μουσείο Μπενάκη προτείνει μια ανάγνωση του έργου του εκδότη και κριτικού από καλλιτέχνες, αρχιτέκτονες και ιστορικούς.
Διερευνώντας τους τρόπους που το παράδειγμα των Cahiers d’Art θέτει ζητήματα καίρια και επίκαιρα για το πεδίο της σύγχρονης δημιουργίας και της εκδοτικής πρακτικής θα συζητηθούν τα παρακάτω ερωτήματα:
Πώς προσλαμβάνουμε σήμερα, με όρους και έννοιες που απασχολούν τον κόσμο της τέχνης, την εκδοτική πρακτική και την ερευνητική μέθοδο του Zervos;
Πώς αναθεωρείται η σημασία της σε σχέση με σημερινές πρακτικές και κατηγορίες;
Ποιες οι αντιστοιχίες και η χρησιμότητά τους σε σχέση με την ιστορική ή εθνογραφική στροφή της τέχνης αλλά και με θεωρίες γύρω από το σύγχρονο;
Εισαγωγή: Πολύνα Κοσμαδάκη
Συντονισμός συζήτησης: Γιώργος Τζιρτζιλάκης
Στη συζήτηση συμμετέχουν οι:Κωστής Βελώνης,Φοίβη Γιαννίση,Νίκος Δασκαλοθανάσης, Αναστασία Δούκα, Ηλίας Παπαηλιάκης

Fiato d'artista di Piero Manzoni
https://youtu.be/7gbQV8nITRw
The forty-five Corpo d’aria (literally: body of air) that Manzoni made in 1959 consist of a large white balloon and a stand in a specially made box. The buyer could purchase only the base and an empty balloon, or the balloon filled with the artist’s breath. This latter version was more expensive: 200 lire per litre of breath. Each balloon can hold 300 litres. In this series Manzoni plays with the aura of the artist and the desire to preserve everything he produces.
