Maria Theodorou 'detects' the evidence of a forensic spacescape produced as a side effect in a number of urban public projects in Athens. These include the construction of the Underground, the unification of Archaeological Spaces, and the restructuring of the Police Force. The consequence of this forensic spacescape is a re-shaped relation between the city and its inhabitants. The former acquires a clue-like status that necessitates a continuous reassessment by the latter. Such a relation has a particular relevance given the effect of Platonism on the ways in which the people of Athens encounter their city on a daily basis. Maria Theodorou trained as an architect in Greece, studied restoration in Rome, and completed her PhD on 'Space before Philosophy' at the AA . A practicing architect since 1981, she is an assistant to the Greek minister of culture.
