The concept of Urban Protocol names a strategy concerning the condition of Athens today. It would serve as an experimental pseudo-methodology that faces the condition of the city. The Urban Protocols are meant to introduce legal temporary occupancies of the abandoned city centre that will be accepted and controlled by a municipal authority; the purpose of an Urban Protocol would be to establish cluster-like micro-legislative constructions with communal functions. Urban Protocols are formed as systems of rules. Using a video game terminology we may say that the Urban Protocols are “play-tested” in the city, performed and improved via Internet. The system of rules they represent could be transformed and re-established easily.
Join us for a drinks reception to celebrate the launch of the new publication; Archipelago of Protocols with the authors Aristide Antonas, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Cesar Reyes and Thanos Zartaloudis. Introduced by Pier Vittorio Aureli.
