Tourism Landscapes: Remaking Greece
14th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia

Greek participation with ANEMI Hotel | 07.06 - 23.11.2014

Greece will participate for the 10th time in the International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. The Greek participation in the 14th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, is directed and curated by the National Commissioner architect and professor Yannis Aesopos, under the title "Tourism Landscapes: Remaking Greece". It explores the role of tourism as a vehicle of modernization of Greece through the emergence of constructed tourism landscapes: hotels and resorts, organized beaches, archaeological sites and museums, public space designs and infrastructure facilities. Moreover, it focuses on the concurrent (re)shaping of Greek national identity that is enhanced through the contact of the "other", the foreign, new and global element, which the activity of tourism presupposes.

Athens, Greece – June 4th, 2013 – On Wednesday 5th of June 2013, following an intensive 3-month renovation, the King George hotel reopens its doors. The cost of the renovation exceeded the amount of 2.5 million euro and will be completed in the winter, as was decided by 'Lamspa Hellenic Hotels S.A.', a publicly listed company, upon the signing for the rental of the property.

The renovation of King George was curated by architect Alexandros C. Samaras and his colleagues. Referring to the work, Mr. Samaras notes that "the renovation and refurbishment of King George was done with great sensitivity and respect to tradition. Our architectural interventions aimed at reviving the glamour of the hotel, while emphasizing its contemporary 'personality'. Our goal is to reinstate the King George hotel as a central landmark of Athens. "

The U.S. Embassy celebrated the legacy of Chancery Building designed by Walter Gropius, one of the leading architects of the 20th century, at a small ceremony featuring a presentation by renowned Greek architect Alexandros Samaras.

The presentation highlighted the modern, functional and democratic design of the building, inspired by the ancient Greek temples. As Ambassador Smith noted in his welcome remarks "We celebrate the historic value of the Chancery of the U.S. Embassy in Athens as a tribute to the democratic ideals Greece and the United States both share."
