gm, the last post rocked!
I love and want more of these posts!

The twins are indeed elegant in their appearance and the repaint for the Olympics did so much to help the image of the Teachers tower.

Brilliant Post!

I am happy to inform all visitors here that following a kind invitation by one of its member contributors, I posted an article on the necessity of building a new generation of Athens skyscrapers in a Hellenic web magazine, namely the e-magazino.gr.

The article which comes in Greek, can be read by clicking HERE. You can also leave your comments if you want. For the non-native speakers, the article is a re-iteration of my usual arguments about construction of tall buildings on selected locations in Athens and away from its historic core, nothing new to be missed, that is. Also, the three pics accompanying the article have been presented here multiple times and in higher resolution. Again, a big thanks to that site's administrators for allowing me to express my views there and reach a wider public...

Anyways, I may have something new in a few days, as the issue of building tall in Pallas Athena never ceased to tickle the back of my brain.

Megapolisomancy... Transformation... Evolution...

Update on skyscraper publicity activity from the official highrise freak in this country...

The article in Greek titled: "Ουρανοξύστες στην Αθήνα: Ένα απόλυτο νεοελληνικό ταμπού" (i.e. "Skyscrapers in Athens: A Total Modern Greek Taboo", originally posted in e-magazino.gr (and I wish a million thanks to the editors and friends who contributed to this, click HERE to access the version and check the rest of the content of this beautifully organised e-zine) is now also available in the e-rooster.gr site which is devoted to liberal thinking. The important element is not the article per se, but the overall debate developing which more or less constitutes a good summary of the views of the public towards this issue which is seemingly maturing as it appears from the exchange already in progress.

Click HERE if you are interested and prepared for a good and lengthy reading.

...and there's LOTS more coming from this weekend onwards. A LOT more...
