Lecture by Sotiria Alexiadou entitled "(Re)Construction of Thessaloniki after World War II & Decoding the post-war apartment building, aka ‘polykatoikia’" on 1/12/2022 13:00 at the Amphitheatre.
Synopsis
Currently, the majority of Thessaloniki’s built environment is the result of the reconstruction of the city after World War ΙΙ. The urban and building reconstruction development strategies were common throughout the big cities of Greece. However, Thessaloniki developed under particular circumstances due to the starting point of its’ urban planning and the special conditions and regulations that were applied for the building development of the city. World War II and the Greek Civil War interrupted the city’s planning program that was established after the big fire of 1917. Thessaloniki development entered its post-war period under the pre-war urban planning and building regulation, but the changes in the political-social-economic areas, imposed modifications.
This lecture will focus on the post-war (re)construction of the city and the architectural development of buildings for public use, social housing and especially the private buildings of the "Ordinary Everyday Modernism" of Thessaloniki, mainly during the period 1947 -1974, up to the present day. In addition, the role of post-war legislation in shaping the volume and image of the post-war apartment building, aka ‘polykatoikia’,will be presented.
