EPHEMERAL MONUMENTS
​​​
Across Greece, unfinished structures punctuate the landscape—silent witnesses to expansion, ambition, and abandonment. Some were halted by financial hardship or legal disputes, others built in haste to claim land. In major urban centers like Athens, the polikatoikia, born from the antiparochi system, reshaped the city, rising in response to relentless urban growth.
​
These skeletal forms, caught between construction and habitation, provide fleeting vantage points over the city, interrupt pristine landscapes, and reflect a country in flux. Empty yet full of potential, they stand as monuments to transition, framing a landscape where the past persists amid an uncertain future.
