Concert Hall Athens

Restoration of I.Despotopoulos Concert Hall in collaboration with Atelier 66

Perspective Section

The Athens Conservatory is a fragment of a vision; a crystal vision, wider than itself. It is, actually, the fragment of an imaginary crystal: the “Athens Cultural Center”. A composition that Ioannis Despotopoulos had been working on for 16 years - out of which, only this part was realized.  

The Concert hall of the upper floor was not completed according to his plans, even though it is an integral part of the Athens Conservatory, that has been operating for 40 years.

The room was worn out through time, while most of the alterations were blurred, random. However, its intrinsic radiance has been always lingering. The implementation plans of its side borders were identified in Despo’s archive and revealed a brilliant synthesis of acoustic panels, that remained only on drawings. Adjustments were necessary in order not to betray the composition as a whole.
