Domusweb book review: The Public Private House

A contribution by George Kafka: The Public Private House is an intensive and densely architectural book with very few architects. Instead of being the main character of an intriguing and perplexing protagonist that snakes its way through the city of Athens like a Sophoclean tragic hero, is the polykatoikia.

Newly won freedoms become obsolete with the loss of familiar structures and security. Global crises lead to local visible and tangible consequences. Fears of the future and a longing for reliably endangered communities, nationalistic tendencies grow or break. In addition one sets itself a rapid change of the working world. From an industrial becomes a digitized service company. The consequences are quite similar to those of the 20th century. The demand for housing in metropolitan areas is increasing, while rural areas are bleeding to death. mehr

Craftsmanship vs. craftiness: The Greek polykatoikia as "adequate" architecture

Traditional craftsmanship and modern mass production span a field of tension that is also reflected in the built environment. We discuss the polykatoikia as an example of how the dualism of architectural „crafsmannship“ and „craftiness“ result in a mass product with the potential for sustained adaptability in and of the Greek city.  mehr
