Research Social Housing at a Turning Point, The Netherlands 1960-1980
At the end of the sixties a socio cultural change occurred all over Europe. The emancipation of the individual that happened by means of participation and democratization was one of the main features of the cultural ‘revolution' of the sixties. What makes the Dutch case special is the fact that this socio cultural change took place within the framework of the planning system of the Dutch welfare state. During the 1970's (…)

Research Planning for Athens: Constantinos A. Doxiadis' work and theory 1945-1975
Athens cannot be considered a New Town since Parthenon has long ago shadowed its plains and its ideal of the democratic city has haunted for several generations the architectural imaginary. Nevertheless, contemporary history and everyday life constantly call in question the established paradigms, and the case of urban design holds no exception. The case of modern Athens then, presents an interesting paradox (…)

Since the perception of the townscape is intimately linked to its journey, the (…)
