In between exhibitions at the Benaki museum in Peiraios avenue, and waiting eagerly! for the Architecture & Design Film Festival: Athens in the very end of April - we stopped for a quick look at the Dimitris Manikas retrospective. The master architect presents more than 40 years of his most prominent works, different projects upheld in the realms of Neoclassicism and Purist Modernism, predominantly in Vienna, the city he spent most of his adult life and also where he launched his career.
