The apartments need to be consistent with the changes of society – the number of family members and families as a whole is decreasing, the number of people, who live either alone or with a roommate, is increasing. The rooms in the new apartments need to be consistent with the fact that people work and have fun in their homes. If we take this fact into consideration, then this will lead to a new understanding of classic apartments. If, from now on, more gardens, alleys, and squares are built in between buildings, then people will feel more comfortable in their own city. 

Benaki Museum exhibition 

The exhibition is divided in two parts. The first one presents a flashback of the architects’ creations, which have contributed for the development of the contemporary Greek apartment during the second half of the 20^th century. And the second part presents 73 contemporary buildings – mostly houses. Half of them are in Athens, where 1/6^th of them are in the center and the rest are in the suburbs. Curators of the exhibition are Alexandros Topazis and Stavros Giftopoulos.
