Digicult presents: Polypolis_Athens LFA2012 by SARCHA. A mindset-shifting game by Eugenia Fratzeskou
--- Polypolis_Athens LFA2012 by School of ARCHitecture for All (SARCHA) was part of the British Council’s International Architecture and Design Showcase 2012, as the official participation of Greece in the London Festival of Architecture, Cultural Olympiad, London 2012, and was realised under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in London. SARCHA’s Polypolis_Athens LFA2012 was one of the international events that marked the inauguration of the Festival. The Festival accomplished a city-wide celebration of architecture and architectural talent in the UK capital, by bringing architects and communities together to examine how we make London a better place. “The Playful City” was the theme Festival responding to the presence of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. The London Festival of Architecture 2012 was organised by the Architecture Foundation, British Council, NLA and RIBA London. Polypolis_Athens LFA2012 took place the last 23 June 2012 at Jeremy Bentham Room, Main Quadrangle, University College London. School of ARCHitecture for All not-for-profit was founded in Athens during 2006. As an expanding open structure with currently 218 associates from various backgrounds and different countries, SARCHA has initiated international research programs which contributed to systematising city problems such as, the potential of the ‘un-built’ condition and its relation to the category of the ‘public’, the impact of immigration onto the city, the rethinking of the city as a pool of resources to be administered ‘in common’, and the city of Athens as experienced by its youth. read more: http://www.digicult.it/news/polypolis_athens-lfa2012-by-sarcha-a-mindset-shifting-game/
