If you are already one of those people who can’t get enough of Athens, just wait and see what the new city center will look like after it is completely redesigned, as promised by the Rethink Athens Competition.
It towered over the area for many years while lying in a state of abandonment. Afterwards, when it was being reconstructed, it towered over the area while covered in tarp. In any case, the “old FIX brewery” – a signature example of post-WWII modernism, designed by the innovative architect Takis Zenetos (1926-1977), which accentuated the horizontal dimension of the building that runs parallel to Syngrou and Kallirois Avenues through the use of linear horizontal glass windows – always stood out. Due to its location, situated between two of the city’s main streets, as well as its girth, this building could never go by unnoticed. For the people of Athens, it served as the most famous abandoned building in the city for decades, with most attributing to it the rather insignificant role of reminding them where to turn in order to reach the district of Neos Kosmos.
A noteworthy initiative coming from the Municipality of Athens promises to get you acquainted with the Athenian landmarks for free, provided you book in advance so as to ensure availability. The first tour of the current month was booked for Saturday 5th October 2013. The “Aiolou Street Stroll”, guided by Stella Galanopoulou, inaugurated the free tours’ autumn schedule allowing interested citizens to familiarize themselves, free of charge, with the rich culture, the history and the key spots of Athens assisted by professional tour guides.
Museum Alex Mylona - Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and the Italian Cultural Institute of Athens present the exhibition “Artists from the Farnesina Collection – CARLA ACCARDI - Smarrire i fili della voce – Losing the threads of voice”, which is organized under the auspices of the Embassy of Italy in Athens. The exhibition will open on Friday the 15th of November and will run until the 9th of February.
