The project is called Sympósion after the greek name of Plato’s « banquet » as it tries to reintroduce collective spaces in Athens for sharing not only thoughts or food and wine but collective moments in general. The desire of working on a collective program came with the necessity for Athens to create new public spaces and gardens. Thus, I had to ask myself what would be a banquet nowadays ? Of course the idea wasn’t to reintroduce it as it used to be but to understand what ideas are there behind the banquet that we still cherish nowadays. The banquet here must be understood as plurality of qualities and ingredients that exceed the only matter of food and beverage. It is also a matter of music and dance, and a matter of enjoyment and letting go. Its form can be seen as a consequence of the necessity to offer both a specific experience and to provide the necessary flexibility of a space hosting moments.
