A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Ambelokipi is a lively and mixed district in central Athens built mainly after World War II. It is home to a complex built in the 1930s to address a severe housing crisis. This group of buildings is not only evidence of the State's engagement in housing at the time, but also an example of modernity that animated Greek architecture in the 1930s. Time, however, has not been kind to the complex. Today, its run-down facades shame the city. The State, eager to demolish the blocks, is fiercely countered by various associations defending this historic area.
