    The New Acropolis Museum: A Triumph of Sophistry

    21 September, 2009

    Architectural cannibalism in Athens

    23 July, 2009

    Nikos Salingaros is a professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio. As an architectural theorist and Athenian, he writes about the New Acropolis Museum and takes part in the debate on the demolition of the two protected historical buildings on Dionysiou Areopagitou Street. According to his own theories, the museum building is a priori destructive, because its architect relies upon the deconstructivist movement.”

  • DESTROY below the ACROPOLIS - VIDEO

    13 November, 2007

    Demolishing the two listed buildings would mutilate the architectural continuum of D. Areopagitou, which helps make this walkway one of the most interesting and beautiful in Europe. It would also vanquish an important piece of our modern urban history. Ironically, this is for the benefit of a museum site, whose mission should be to preserve and transmit memory, not to destroy it.
