World Architecture Day: Modernity and Dwelling

Housing as a human right: a talk by architect Aikaterini Karadima, then the film La Maison de Verre. KAM, Mon 5 Oct, 18:30.

The Chania Association of Architects and the Municipality mark World Architecture Day with an open evening on this year's UIA theme, 'Housing is a Human Right. Build It.' After the welcomes at 18:30, architect Aikaterini Karadima of the Technical University of Crete speaks at 19:00 on how the modern idea of home was formed and has changed; at 20:00 comes the documentary La Maison de Verre by Stan Neumann and Richard Copans, introduced by architect Kostas Mavrakakis, and from 20:30 an open discussion with the audience. With the property market and tourism reshaping who gets to live in Chania, the subject lands close to home. It runs at the Centre of Mediterranean Architecture in the Grand Arsenal and finishes at 21:30.
