Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book introduces international readers to an architect of remarkable influence-both in his own time and, astonishingly, in ours. Takis Zenetos, born in Greece in 1926 and who died by suicide in Athens in 1977, was a visionary figure whose legacy remains largely unrecognized. Educated and… professionally active in post-war Paris within the avant-garde artistic milieu, Zenetos was an architectural genius in the truest sense. This term is warranted not only by the exceptional quality of his built work, but also by his pioneering understanding of the transformative impact electronics would have on every scale of architectural practice. For Zenetos, technology and informatics were not mere instruments of form, but vehicles for revealing what he called "a political dimension of the future."Dimitris Papalexopoulos (Athens, 1953-2016) graduated from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 1976 and earned his PhD in Paris in 1985, with a focus on the relationship between architectural theory and industrialization. A tenured professor at NTUA, he taught courses on Technology and Information Technology. As a practicing architect in Athens, he led numerous architectural projects and restorations, including the renovation of the Agios Dimitrios School, originally designed by Takis Zenetos.Eleni Kalafati (Chalkis, 1952) is an architectural historian specializing in the history of technology. She studied architecture in Athens and earned her doctorate in Paris. Her work focuses on systems of data management and the archiving of historical documents. She teaches postgraduate courses at the National Technical University of Athens."The Information Technology Revolution" is a groundbreaking book series founded by Professor Antonino Saggio in 1998. With over 30 volumes published in both Italian and English, the series has appeared under the banners of renowned publishers including Testo&Immagine, Edilstampa, Birkhaeuser, and now Vita Nostra Edizioni. Through its wide-ranging contributions, the series has played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse on the evolving relationship between architecture and information technology.
