This project began from a simple idea: the publication of an album with 200 buildings from Athens, on the occasion of the celebration of the 200-year anniversary from the Greek War of Independence of 1821. Notable constructions from the last two hundred years are, of course, numerous, so all a photographer would have to do would be to click with his camera on two hundred buildings. Each photo would be worth a thousand words. The commemorative album would be ready .
Still, anyone involved with books and editions is well aware that millions of words must first be read before a particular photo can convey the essence of its meaning. The initial idea was, therefore, to complete the album with introductory texts from experts which could activate and deepen the reader s gaze upon the buildings. The album was also enriched by descriptions for every building, so that each picture could be accompanied by a short explanation. A simple idea began to gain complexity.
