Discursive {Con}Fusions: Athens

Part 2 Project 2016

Discursive [Con]fusions presents seemingly incompatible sutured programmatic couplings in the derelict Bageion Hotel, Athens. This neo-classical hotel is revived and socio-culturally recontextualised through a symbiotic programme that hosts dual collectives of bimimetic dentists and anarchist architects, as well as an anatomy museum. The shared experimental interest in a protocellular material accelerates the regrowth of the Bagieon offering a new distorted body and new fields of programmatic experimentation for Athens.
