Athens, celebrated as containing the seeds of the ideal city, and more recently touted as a Mecca of creativity and resilience, is at the same time the worst capital of Western Europe, the dirtiest, most stressful and less bearable place to live in. Questioning both sides of the extremes, the book rather reads Athens as a misprinted version of western city-making and -branding rationales. Seen as a fortunate misadventure, the misprint carries with it the radical potential to interrogate the original, dominant paradigm, while simultaneously departing from it. The book collects texts and projects that were the outcome of the 'ΣΟΔΑ' cooperative for diploma projects on Athens and the symposia it organized, articulating alternative forms of urbanity based on the mis-impressions of the city.
Contributors to the book include: P. Dragonas, G. Economides, D. Filippides, V. Ganiatsas, P. Issaias, D. Karidis, A. Kioupkiolis, L. Leontidou, T. Maloutas, T. Moutsopoulos, L. Papalambropoulos, Point Supreme Architects, S. Rozanis, S. Stavrides, N.-I. Terzoglou, G. Tzirtzilakis, G. Zachariades and Neiheiser/Argyros architects.
