Scope, Basic Objectives and Methodology of the Research ORGANISATION FOR PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF ATHENS NTUA – URBAN ENVIRONMENT LABORATORY RESEARCH PROJECT METROPOLITAN PARK AT GOUDI – ILISOS, ATHENS SUMMARY PRESENTATION 2002 1 SCOPE, BASIC OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY OF THE RESEARCH In November 1997, the Organisation for Planning and Environmental Protection of Athens (Athens Organisation) assigned to the Urban Environment Laboratory of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, of the NTUA School of Architecture, a Research Project entitled “Metropolitan Park at Goudi”. This project was completed in May 1999. The Design Area extends south-east of Messoghion Avenue, on both sides of Katekhaki Avenue upto the foot of Hymettus mountain, and includes the areas of the former and present military camps of Varyti, Zorba, Fakinou and Plessa, the Pentagon, the Zographou Technical University Campus, the Centre for Medical- Biological Research of the Academy of Athens, the University Research Institute of Mental Health of the University of Athens; the ‘Red Cross’, ‘People’s’, ‘Children’s’, ‘General State’ and ‘Sotiria’ civil hospitals; the 401 General Army and 251 General Navy military hospitals; the ministries of Public Order, National Defence, Justice and Transport (under construction); the Greek Radio Television S.A. complex (former Armed Forces Information Service); the Gendarmerie School and Grove; the Papagou Grove; the sports grounds of the Municipalities of Athens, Zographou and Papagou; the nursery garden of the Municipality of Athens; the Riding Centre of the Athletics General Secretariat; schools of the adjacent Municipalities; and, finally, the forest and grassland expanses of the Officers’ Independent Construction Organisation (AOOA). The overall expanse of the Design Area is approximately 4,500,000 sq.m. (1,125 acres). Scope and Objectives of the Research In accordance with the Athens Organisation, the general aim of the research is “the establishment of a Metropolitan Park at Goudi which will include and incorporate the functions already existing in the area pertaining to health - welfare - education - administration - sports in an extensive park of green having high ecological quality and with limited uses for culture, sports and recreation”. “The uses which can be included in the Park should, on the one hand, contribute to the environmental upgrading of the greater area where urban uses have already been developed and, on the other hand, contribute to the interface of the urban green with the Hymettus peri-urban green. These uses should be harmonised with the function of the Park as a “linking” space between the adjacent municipalities regarding cultural and social activities, and as an “intermediate” space of green between the Hymettus peri-urban forest and the recreation pole of the Tourkovounia hills. “Regarding the materialisation of the project, the possibility to establish a system for a uniform management and materialisation of the project in co-operation with Central Bodies and Organisations of the Local Government, will be examined”. 2 Stages of the Project The research project had two stages: During Stage One, the assessment of the present situation and the determination of the nature of the Park have been completed. The general principles for its function have been established, and alternative scenarios have been presented with regard to the nature of the activities proposed. During Stage One, the proposal for organising the character, the urban-planning structure and the activities of the Park has been completed, by means of their presentation at the level of natural planning. The backgrounds used during Stage Two were produced through a photo-interpretation of air photographs at a 1:1000 scale by the Land Registration and Mapping Organisation of Greece specially for the specific research project. During the entire first as well as second stage, the research group was in communication with the representatives from the Local Government and the residents’ Associations in the area, with all the Bodies involved in the formation of the Park (Ministries, Hospitals, Educational Institutions), so that the research would take into account and co-assess their views and proposals. More specifically, during Stage Two, the research group has participated in nine special meetings held in the offices of the Athens Organisation, during which it briefed the representatives of the competent departments regarding the project, the works proposed and the arrangements. During these meetings, the views of the various bodies regarding the specific project as well as the planning of their own projects were presented. They were both co-assessed by the research group, the further aim of which was their consent and, therefore, the feasibility of the project of establishing the Metropolitan Park. The result of these meetings was a modification in the proposals submitted in Stage One. Characteristically, it can be mentioned that there is a modification in the limits of the areas included in the Management Body of the Park or in the organising of the routes of the Means of Public Transport which will serve the Park and the surrounding area.

He, as was his father before him. was born at Cordova in Spain, the birthplace also of his brilliant nephew, Marcus Annaeus Lucanus. Other notable Spaniards in Roman literature were Columella, born in Gades, Martial, in Bilbilis, and Quintilian, in Calagurris. The younger Seneca was brought to Rome in early infancy and received his training there. He was a Senator under Caligula and Claudius, and in 41 A.D., through the machinations of Messalina, was ordered by the emperor into exile at Corsica. Thence he was recalled in 49 through the in- fluence of Agrippina, now the wife of Claudius, and to him was entrusted the education of Agrippina's son, Domitius, afterwards the emperor Xero.

  • Plant and Garden Imagery in Plato's Phaedrus
    From the Plane Tree to the Gardens of Adonis: Plant and Garden Imagery in Plato’s Phaedrus By Daniel Carey Supervised by Dennis J. Schmidt Submitted in fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Master of Research School of Humanities and Communication Arts WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY 2021 For Torrie 2 Acknowledgements A project like this would not have been completed without the help of some truly wonderful people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Dennis J. Schmidt, for his patience, excitement, and unwavering commitment to my work. This thesis was initially conceived as a project on gardening in the history of philosophy, although it quickly turned into an examination of plant and garden imagery in Plato’s dialogue the Phaedrus. If not for Denny’s guiding hand I would not have had the courage to pursue this text. Over this past year he has taught me to appreciate the art of close reading and pushed me to think well beyond my comfort levels; for that, I am eternally grateful. I would also like to thank Professor Drew A. Hyland, who through the course of my candidature, took the time to answer several questions I had about the dialogue. In addition, I would like to thank Associate Professors Jennifer Mensch and Dimitris Vardoulakis. While they might not have had any direct hand in this project, my time spent in their graduate classes opened my eyes to new possibilities and shaped my way of thinking. Last but not least, I owe a great debt of thanks to Dr.

  • The Greek Quagmire
    The Greek quagmire. Prologue. October, 26 th 1940, Saturday. In the hall of the Italian Embassy in Athens, the Italians and their Greek guests are commenting the performance of Puccini's Madame Butterfly finished recently. Suddenly, in the offices, the teletypes begin to tap. The officials are coming and going. They are trying to remain calm, but more than one of them, pale-faced, troubled and tense, is widening the collar of his shirt. The Italian Plenipotentiary Minister, Emanuele Grazzi, sees all that movement and breaks into a cold sweat. He knows what that movement means, or at least he understands this intuitively: from Rome the ultimatum to Greece is coming. He hopes in some hitch, in some difficulty of deciphering: he does not want to deliver to General Metaxas, Greek Prime Minister, a declaration of war right in the middle of an official reception. It would be extremely embarrassing, anyway. He is lucky, at least about this. It is late, the text is long: time is requested in order to decipher it . The Greek guests leave the Italian Legation; Metaxas is at his residence in Kefissià. He is not yet an enemy. "You are the strongest" He turns into an enemy at three a.m. of Monday, October 28th. The communication has been deciphered and translated. Grazzi accompanied by military attaché Colonel Luigi Mondini and by the interpreter De Salvo, gets into car and heads to the residence of Metaxas. The guard at the door confuses the colours of the flag on the fender of the diplomatic car , he mistakes the green for blue and announces to the Greek Prime Minister the visit of the French ambassador.
