Article by Caroline Raspé
Caroline Raspé describes the commitment of the artist Maria Papadimitriou in the district of Avliza in Menidi (near Athens). The artist initiated a project that created social facilities for around 250 itinerant Greek families. This concept - realized with collaboration of architects, sociologists, film creators, residents, and artists - has equated "social institutions" with a museum concept. Proceeding from a rather emotionally characterized housing settlement structure, with house colours and arrangements calling to mind modern art, the project initiators conceived with clear architectural consciousness simple prototypes for infrastructure facilities.
