I really like this name!

My suggestion:
1. developments subforum
2. photo subforum
3. skybar
I like these forums. We need to now think up creative names such as the Acropolis Lounge for the skybar.
I was also thinking for the Skybar, "Cafe Frappe"

What I propose:

-Modern Architecture
Will include skyscrapers and highrises (whatever we have), lowrises and "corporate" architecture, as well as museums and emblematic architecture. May include a sub-forum for Stadiums and Sports Arenas. May also include a section on Proposed and Under Construction Projects.

-Classical Architecture and Landscapes

Will include Ancient Greek (Classical) and Byzantine architecture, as well as other architecture styles present in Athens that do not belong to the realm of the "modern" one, i.e. art deco, French styles (i.e. Piraeus metro station), etc that can be seen scattered in Athens. Also, here we can conduct architecture discussions in general. A sub-forum on landscapes will be to serve pictures of Hellenic landscapes, i.e. meteora. Mykonos and thelike where no built structures are shown, or if they are, they are part of the landscape. (Santorini).

-The Acropolis lounge

This will be the "skybar". I took the name from the luxurious restaurant / lounge of the old Athens airport at Hellenikon. Also, you can think of it as a hotel lounge looking towards the Acropolis in Athens where you can relax looking at this greatmonument (half of the hotels of the centre of Athens have a view of the Acropolis and proudly include this in their brochures.

And my apologies to Georgos for not contributing as I wish I could but I will be extremely busy until Wednesday. But I will be back strong, I promise.

Great proposal!
It is fine, when ever you have time you may contribute what ever you like.

Does everyone agree with the proposal by gm?

''Frappe'' is a greek invention, however I prefer ''the Acropolis lounge''

As for the rest subforums I agree with gm's proposal.
A developments section is also needed.
