before and after

Here are some photos of the Kyriakopoulos residence, (designed by T. Valentis, built in 1934) I took in the summer of 2001.


This was one of the few original samlpes of modernism in Greece.

Ten years later I return to that street and I see this instead.

The Kyriakopoulos residence had been declaired by the state as a "landmark" and the state had promissed to buy it in order to preseve it. On 16 Oct 2002 it was demolished.
