The Fix building, designed by Takis Zenetos who many consider one of the greatest Greek architects of the 20th century ,is located in Athens at syggrou and kallirois ave. The building is now in a state of disrepair and a hulking eyesore to any passerby on one of Athens main thorough-fares.
Originally a brewery, Zenetos' redesign was hailed worldwide and earned the building landmark status by the Intl. Council on Monuments and Arts (ICOSMOS).
It now stands partly demolished and at the center of a heated debate with the 'National Museum of Contemporary Art' waiting to occupy the space with their own redesign of the building and construction of a parking lot. The Greek arm of ICOSMOS has repeatedly asked for restoration of the old Zenetos design but to no avail.
DF: We passed by The Fix this summer. It really is falling apart, something should be done soon.
