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.

  19 October, 2006

  A serious problem, may the most important, is the exhaustion of the non-renewable energy resources in global level (petroleum, natural gas, coal, etc.) that can easily lead the planet to a power crisis. The principal reason of that is our almost absolute dependence on these resources.
