It’s personal, not interesting to anyone else, but after all, that's what gives a neighborhood it’s character. Abigail Brown Kolonaki to Syntagma Square Abigail Brown stepped onto the sidewalk, blinking her eyes furiously in the afternoon sunlight and wrinkling her nose at the faint smell of urine. It was one of those sweltering June days when, no matter how little you wore or how short a time you spent outside, you were bound to be dripping with sweat in minutes. Abigail knew from the moment she left the cool, air- conditioned shade of her top floor apartment that she would regret walking all the way to Syntagma Square, especially in her best navy suit, but she had no choice. The metro workers were on strike, and she refused to let their pettiness stop her from the strict schedule that made up her everyday life. Anything or anyone that got in her way was an inconvenience, and she hated inconvenience. Abigail pulled out her iPhone and checked how long the walk from Kolonaki would be, hoisting her briefcase up onto her already-aching shoulder. “Fifteen minutes,” she muttered, laughing in disbelief that the most direct route could take so long and starting to walk briskly towards Syntagma.

  • Classics Student Handbook
    STUDENT HANDBOOK Classics Department Skidmore College Classics at Skidmore Why Study Classics? To study antiquity is to study ourselves. The insights of Greek and Roman thinkers, artists and writers have shaped Western thought for the last 2,000 years and when we read and study classical antiquity first-hand we gain a deeper and richer understanding of the human experience. "Historia vero testis temporum, lux veritatis, vita memoriae, magistra vitae, nuntia vetustatis …" "For history is the witness of the past, the light of truth, the survival of memory, the teacher of life, the message of antiquity…" –Cicero (De Oratore 2.36) The study of classical antiquity at Skidmore trains students to hone their analytical, creative and literary abilities. It also prepares our majors and minors for careers in the dramatic arts, law, museum curating, medicine, publishing, editing, political science, teaching and business — in short, a solid foundation for life after Skidmore. Special Strengths of Classics The interdisciplinary nature of Classics is one of the greatest hallmarks of our program at Skidmore. Courses include studies in Greek and Roman language, literature, art, archaeology, ethnicity, history, mythology, political theory, philosophy, race, religion, and technology. The Classics faculty members teaching these courses include some of the finest lecturers and scholars on campus. Mission of the Classics Department The mission of Classics at Skidmore is to help shape the future of our students through the study of the past. By using interdisciplinary methodologies, students examine and explicate the languages, literatures, histories, religions, cultures, art, and artifacts of the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean. Students apply multi- and cross-cultural perspectives to gender, ethnic, and social issues in order to gain insight into the cultures of the Classical world.

Hatzidakis2 1School of Science and Technology, Hellenic Open University, 26335, Patras, Greece 2International Hellenic University, 57001, Thérmi, Thessaloniki, Greece ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertation is the study of the refugee phenomenon and how it affects spatially each refugee settlement area, as well as the design proposal of a bioclimatic and low‐ energy consumption neighborhood typology and the individual shelters that make it up. It should be emphasized that, in fact, this research is not just a neighborhood typology that is proposed but the methodology based on which it could be adapted to any camp. The methodology followed is as follows: Initially, the refugee phenomenon was studied, existing camps in Greece and abroad and research was done on the characteristics that make a camp functional. In addition, various examples of refugee accommodation, the traditional architecture of refugee countries, as well as conventional bioclimatic buildings were studied. That way resulted the design proposal of the
