When Athens was cool there was an architect called Takis Zenetos. He’s one of the most outstanding architects of Greek modernism, with a varied oeuvre (industrial buildings, schools, residences, objects, urban planning studies). Unfortunately most of his buildings were demolished or very badly rebuilt (for example: the upcoming National Museum of Contemporary Art). What is not widely known is that Zenetos was a visionary of the future electronic city and the digital age. The projects – visible in the image – are for a hanging hotel, a combination of Tibetan palace and artificial geological formation and a wind turbined gorge. In 1977 Zenetos committed suicide.
