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

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.
ReplyDeleteImagine 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??
Beautiful film.. thanks.
ReplyDeleteReminded me of one of my favourite photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson: Athens, Greece 1953

There are more incredibly defined layers to the characters and thematic takeaways in Blindspotting than the human mind can process in a single viewing. 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

The Hotel Transylvania franchise--which now officially becomes a big screen trilogy--has occupied its own peculiar little niche in the ongoing stream of animated films that now come our way throughout the year: neither as momentous and emotional as Pixar’s output, nor as outright throwaway and unmemorable as the bulk of Illumination releases, they’re amiable, funny, occasionally heartwarming and, in their own way, an earnest tribute to a canon of fictional characters in danger of being forgotten.

It was very informative. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences.” The former professional wrestler, fellow cast members including Neve Campbell and locally born Byron Mann and the film’s director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, are in Hong Kong to promote the film, which opens in the city on July 12, a day before it opens in the United States.

ReplyDeleteIf you are preparing to travel abroad for a well-earned break and have picked Milan as your destination of choice also checkout https://www.tripindicator.com/best-airport-transfers-milan-city.html, then the Milan Airport Guide may be able to take some of the stress out of the preparation process with its informative guide to car hire at Malpensa Airport. As a big airport, 7 out of the 11 Malpensa Airport Car Hire Companies are based within the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall itself.
ReplyDeleteMaps are so incredibly useful. And this was indeed interesting. I found it smart to list maps in things you're interested in. Check out this map of references to see an example.
