The new, bilingual, annual Condo Buildings by ek Architectural Publications, is dedicated to new-generation, multistory apartment buildings in Greece and Cyprus. The polykatoikia apartment building typology, which overwhelmed the urban landscape during the 20th century, continues to evolve, now subverting several of its defining features. The aim of this theme publication is to document the most interesting examples of contemporary apartment buildings on an annual basis, creating an archive of the new models of collective living.
The first volume includes 15 recently complete case studies of new-generation apartment buildings, together with short presentations of another 9 projects under construction. The volume further includes a very interesting retrospective essay by the architect Panos Tsakopoulos, on the evolution of the Athenian post-war apartment building, which highlights the models and inventions of each decade, from the 1950ies until 2010, through specific examples.
