Autour d’un café Open Discussion 2: “The architecture between art and invention”.

 After the success of the first meeting of an open debates series entitled “Autour d’un café” in collaboration with the Kimonos Arts Centre, we continue on Friday, November 27 at 7:30pm, this time with subject of architecture and its relationship with art.

How is architecture defined and what is the role of the architect in the modern world? From the time that man comes out of the cave - the physical form of habitation – he created the need for the invention - by himself – regarding the space in which will live.

The architecture throughout the ages is drawn as a 'project' within the needs of society and history. The social, political and economic conditions affect the way in which our world was "built" and is "built".

In the modern world where the speed of information and the use of media inundate man, architecture is invited to support a lifestyle that leaves traditional structures and approaches new technologies or also applies them as synthetic authorities.

The modern traditional forms are being converted into new architectural - technological inventions. The shapes -habitation containers- of modern architecture are being transformed into spatial patterns of multimedia applications.

What is created as a need to the concept of habitation today?

How the architecture as a practice creates possibilities for new thinking - survival - perception of life?

If the architecture has the power to shape the conscience / our relationship with space and the everyday life, then the architect's role is identified, to some extent, with the role of the artist.

 The architecture teeter on the verge of art and invention - it is and it is not somehow management, proposal, capsizing, contradiction, revolution, art....

Join us in a nice and relaxed atmosphere, with coffee and good company.

Free Entrance.

The discussion will be in Greek.

Moderator of the second discussion will be the architect Christiana Karagiorgi.
