A Decisive Moment for Architecture: Greek Architecture Tour

Classical Greek architecture is both ultimate and perpetually open to receptive minds. Based in Athens and under the Mediterranean sun, the journey crosses the Peloponnese to study ten UNESCO World Heritage sites and nearly twenty nationally treasured monuments, from the Homeric and Archaic periods to the Classical and Hellenistic eras. Temples, theaters, and stadiums reveal the enduring prototypes of architectural space.

Alongside this pilgrimage to the classical, you will explore how modern and contemporary architects creatively interpret and transform tradition. The journey includes visits to works in Athens by Bernard Tschumi and Renzo Piano, providing insight into how modern architectural language pays tribute to Greek heritage, renewing the ancient in a contemporary context.
