Map of interesting architcture in Athens, Greece


Using google maps API and by geocoding data from EIE I've constructed a map of interesting architecture in Athens. Buildings can be filtered according to year of construction by using a slidebar (see screenshot above) + the map has a basic search function.



Using a map of Athens published in 1890 from Meyers Konversationslexikon, following the design of modern Athens by architects Stamatis Kleanthis, Eduard Schaubert & Leo von Klenze , I aligned the streets from the 1890 survey with the streets as they exist today. The 1890 survey is astonishingly accurate - It's fascinating how this level of precision cartography was achieved without modern day tools such as GPS. Subsequently, the original survey can be imposed on to the modern map with very minor corrections.



Above is a detail of Kolonaki. According to the 1890 map, the modern day Hilton hotel was built on top of a Barracks & everything south of Vasilissis Sofias Avenue was undeveloped.. You can also see how the development of Kolonaki has spread up into Lykavittos :/


By comparing the Acropolis with the survey from 1890, it's possible to see how much things have changed... Lot's of interesting things to see here :)

















Back to the architecture map - I've noticed this building a few times whilst coming back from Athens in a taxi. According to EIE, it was built in 1925. I especially like this one - it stands in huge contrast to the hastily built modern slabs of concrete around it. Here it is on the map - 46 Septemviou & Marni Steet

  1. Nice post, I find it really interesting how many of these fantastic old buildings in Athens are completely neglected and un-utilised - even in the centre of the city - while hideous post-war buildings are relatively clean and in good shape.

    Imagine this happening in London or Paris! Or in Athens.. oh.. it is.

    Look like 'CMK' owns that building in the photo anyway, perhaps he lives there??

  7. The Wallabies must successfully target dynamic All Blacks second rowers Brodie Retallick and
    Sam Whitelock when they attempt to turn their Bledisloe Cup fortunes around, says Australian backrower
    Rory Arnold.The formidable duo of Retallick and Whitelock has been one of the great strengths of the world
    champion All Blacks’ forward ­machine in recent years and both are used to winning against the Wallabies.

    Whitelock has tasted defeat just three times in 20 games Tests against Australia and Retallick once in 15.
    Rising Wallabies lock Rory ­Arnold said getting an edge over the duo was key for his team.“They’ve been world-class
    locks now for a number of years, so if we want to dominate up front we know we’ve got to go at those blokes,” said Arnold.
    “We’re going to have to be at our best, the second-rowers, to take those blokes on.”

    While Whitelock and Retallick have been a constant force for New Zealand,
    Australia have chopped and changed their second-row combinations since the 2015 World Cup final against the All Blacks.

    Coach Michael Cheika used five starting second-row combinations in the first five Tests of 2016 and seven in total across the season as
    six different locks got an opportunity in the run-on side.
    In the June Tests, Cheika started with Adam Coleman and Sam Carter and then brought in Arnold for the last match.
    “He sort of swapped and changed a fair bit last year, so I’m not sure how he’s going to go this year with those second-row spots,” Arnold said.

    Yee haw shouted ghosts of super fights gone by, one super fight in the mail, signed and sealed. Boxing fans
    rejoiced, only to have their hymn interrupted by heresy. Shortly after, another long spoken of affair,
    one largely rejected in the boxing community, Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor, was also announced,
    and has since echoed louder through TMZ manufactured speakers. Both fights offer something to the public,
    one, crude entertainment at best,

Equally impressive is how skilled despite being unfamiliar the people behind the camera are at making movies; director Carlos López Estrada is a shorts veteran injecting modern-day hip-hop sensibilities and artistic style to an already captivating script from lifelong friends Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, which they have been writing for 10 years now
