Greetings from Tatiana Karapanagioti

The architecture of a city defines behavior.

So we created the World of Athens, an international non-governmental network that acts as a bridge of ideas. We believe in the dynamics of change caused by new ideas and are constantly looking for new ways to make it happen.

Out of this mindset we created the Athens Bench Mark contest.

A contest that directly affects our daily lives.

By designing, voting, changing benches in Athens, maybe we can put our own personal touch and change our routine a little.

To get out for lunch instead of eating it at our office, let the light breeze refresh us.

To meet a friend at a bench rather than a cafeteria.

To read a newspaper on a Sunday and sit at a bench rather than being confined in a house.

We hope Athenians and others will participate in designing your own bench or vote for one of your favorite benches.

Our goal is to involve the citizens in the city they live in.

The Athens Bench Mark is here and gives everyone the opportunity to leave their mark in Athens.
