Description

Explore the complex relationship between history and urban development in Building Modern Antiquity: Hymns and Laments for Athens. Published by Routledge, this book examines post-19th-century Athens through the lens of metropolitan capitalism. It investigates how the city, which was not originally intended to serve as a modern capital, utilized its ancient past to shape its contemporary identity. This work looks at the dialectic between the past and the present, specifically focusing on how modern antiquity acts as a hidden element in urban evolution. By studying architectural representations, the text reveals the processes behind the reconstruction of history and how antiquity was used to support the celebration of European capitalist modernity. It provides a deep sociological look at the city's transition and the ways architectural choices reflect broader economic and social shifts in the metropolitan landscape.
