NEW HOUSING CONCEPTS FOR ATHENS

Athens went through a huge urban growth spree in the 1950s and 60s;  which led to the construction of dozens and dozens of city blocks of horrid construction.  As we have reported many times, there is a huge push in many neighborhoods to revitalize certain areas. Homes were built then for a huge number of families who needed an affordable place to live. 
 
Kathimerini writes:
 
Architects now are using the limited space that is left to create new hip urban areas that are not just used for living, but also work, entertainment, and study.  Thus there is now a new relationship emerging between space, time and architecture in housing, a concept which is being re-examined and reinterpreted constantly.
