NETWORK OF LIGHT

In addition to its physical effect in the city, light can be a metaphor for cultural identity, communication and political expression. In Hong Kong, branding and light are representatives of city’s economic strength , unlike Athens in which light has no role in presenting the  city or improving the state of economic stagnation that Athens is experiencing in the past four years.

light can be introduced as a physical and communicative network among all the layers that make up Athens. This network connects historically, politically or socially important nodes of the city, proposing different activities to attract people’s attention towards a potential for starting over and leaving behind the lethargy which is spread all over Athens. Empty and abandoned places are considered as starting points, as they show the extreme condition in current situation. This network is subject to change depending on the conditions that it is based on.
