Overview

This Summer Studio and Workshop investigates contemporary Athens as a living laboratory of urban change, testing contemporary theories of urbanism against different sites and itineraries, asking students to directly explore, document and navigate the city.

They do so via a series of routes focusing on specific Athenian commons –squares, gardens, walkways, buildings, monuments, waterscapes, and ancient sites – producing a set of composite drawings and images curated in a log, as a result of on-site documentations.

Following this, students focus on a single area, walkway and public space where they project collaboratively on a topic of climate adaptation, crisis, and resilience, on a 10-day joint workshop between students from Daniels and the University of Patras.
