Athens as a Project is an interdisciplinary publication at the intersection of architecture and photography with a wider reference to contemporary art and urban history. With a particular focus on current metropolitan phenomena and the transformation of cities, it presents the findings of a decade-long research project conducted by Platon Issaias on Athens and the specifics of Greece's urban environments that contribute to a broader discussion of the complex politics of urban development in the Mediterranean and the Global South. Partnering with photographer Yiorgis Yerolymbos, Issaias offers original and unique perspectives on the city of Athens, its architecture, recent history, and contemporary life. Texts, architectural drawings, and photographs form an Atlas of Athens encompassing exemplary projects, atmospheres and everyday practices - that go beyond the effects of the economic crisis of the 2010s and the ongoing pandemic. 200 Illustrations, unspecified
