Wall artist-SONKE 2

This is the second publication that  i do for this street artist.
Walking around in Athens, particularly in places frequented by SONKE, will see new designs
on the walls.
I tried to pick some of them and present  to you, because this child has turned a bad
neighborhood in a huge art gallery.

Tianjin Eco City is a Futuristic Green Landscape for 350,000 Residents


ARCHITECTURE








Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World
Tianjin Eco-City is a fascinating, 30 square kilometer development designed to showcase the hottest new green technologies and to serve as a model for future developing Chinese cities. Designed by Surbana Urban Planning Group, the city is being built just 10 minutes away from the business parks at the Tianjin Economic-Development Area, making for a commute that should be a breeze with the development's advanced light rail transit system. Even cooler, the community's expected 350,000 residents will be able to choose different landscapes ranging from a sun-powered solarscape to a greenery-clad earthscape to enjoy.

BAR CODE IN RUSSIA

Trying to forget the NEW WORLD ORDER, but some fellow architects have a different opinion.
Look here, that can be created together with any admiration for the idea of the projectfear.

Symi Greece-Τhe life in Ancient Greece






By Michael Balaroutsos architect   .
How it was ,i wonder, the life in Ancient Greece.!!!
I thought that we could see, as long as we had discovered the time machine.
However it is a utopia? But I would love to see how they made their homes in the
 form that had them, the colors, the streets, their shops.
But this past is enough distant.
Do not forget, that the first Architects, achieved great things with their work in
 Ancient Greece. The way however to make this travel in per year, exists.
Is enough a visit in the small Greek islet, SIMI, and as via magic will be revealed
 to us the all ancient world, through the architecture of this island, that has 
remained intact via means of centuries. 
This island is near the island of Rhodes, has been keeping the Neoclassical architecture to
 date since the first  residents  there. It's easy to find anyone, because the culture of the 
island is so intense and uniform, with archaic features repeated in all buildings, 
which assures us that this was, so it will remain so.

Symi: a Neo-Classical Gem in the Dodecanese
More than just a sunshine island destination, Symi has some of the finest neo-classical architecture in Greece.  The nineteenth century amphitheatre harbour, Yialos, is a national monument and the architecture in Chorio (literally ‘village’) is also protected.  Tiers of beautifully restored and delicately coloured neo-classical houses line the steep slopes of Yialos, rising up to a row of old windmills on the crest that divides the harbour from the upper town. 


The main settlement of Chorio is focused around the ruins of the old acropolis and kastro, scrambling up the lower slopes of the Vigla, the highest point of the island.  The two areas of habitation are connected by the famous pedestrian route, the Kali Strata.  This wide flight of some 350 steps runs roughly diagonally from the back of Yialos to the village square, often referred to as Syllogos Square, and is lined with generously proportioned merchant houses.  Almost all of these have now been restored to their former glory.  A modern motor road also connects the two areas but as this has to make a huge sweep of several kilometers to cope with the gradient it does not intrude into the pristine architecture.  Most properties can only be accessed by a combination of steps, slopes and lanes, either from the bottom up or from the top down.

Symi Greece


While the architecture of Yialos and the harbour environs is pure neo-classical, Chorio, which is the oldest area of habitation, is a mixture of vernacular and pre-neo-classical styles with only occasional examples of pure neo-classical.  Parts of Chorio were seriously damaged during the Second World War and are only slowly being rebuilt, making this a very quiet and secluded area to stay.  The labyrinth of narrow lanes and the steepness of the terrain mean that little vehicle traffic can penetrate into the older residential areas and the only sounds to shatter the peace are the bells of the many churches in the vicinity.

Harani, a secondary bay to the side of the main harbour and only a few minutes stroll from the centre of Yialos is another area of architectural interest.  This is focused around the old boat building yards of Harani and many of the buildings along the quay have their origins in Symi’s old commercial heritage of boat building and sponge diving.  The unpaved coastal road from Harani leads to the small seaside settlement of Nimborio, an area of quiet seclusion.
 

The upper part of Chorio overlooks the Pedi Valley, an ancient agricultural area of shallow terraces and orchards which runs all the way down to the sea at the fjord-like Pedi Bay.  The steep shoreline on either side of Pedi bay is lined with small fishermen’s cottages and the broad level expanse that divides the agricultural land of the valley with the strip of sandy beaches is home to traditional tavernas, an hotel, a boat yard specializing in wooden caiques as well as the island’s football pitch and the power station.  Pedi has become increasingly popular with tourists in recent years as it combines proximity to the sea with convenient access to Chorio and Yialos via a regular bus service.

Situated only 25 nautical miles from the island of Rhodes, Symi has the advantage of access to an international airport but at the same time is off the beaten track for mass tourism.  As visitor accommodation is traditionally within the community and there are no specific tourist areas, holidays on Symi are an opportunity to experience authentic Greek island life in houses and villas with timeless appeal.  It is not surprising that the island has a strong repeat clientele and is popular with the discerning traveller. You can view a selection of Symi videos below-enjoy!

Architecture.!!
The refusal of the regularity or the acceptance of the unorthodox.
It is the art of everything. In the inanimate and living. The shape and meaning,
Architecture.!!
In spirit and body, logic and absurdity.
Everything is architecture. By Hermes Trismegistus, by bacterium.
The Heraclitus said ... Everything flows ....
The Architecture says .... everything in shape ..... so have art in them ..!!
