The second workshop of the Delos Network took place in Athens (Benaki Museum, Pireos St. Annexe, amphitheater) on September 15th, 2018. The videos of the presentations can be viewed at BLOD and following the links below.
The second workshop addressed the ways in which the Delos environmental ideals were implemented in many high-profile schemes across the developed and developing world in the 1960s-70s, often involving the imposition of ostensibly global solutions on sensitive regional contexts, including lucrative private and government contracts. The aim of the workshop was to analyze the planning tools of these schemes and explore the backlash against this scale of ambition and intervention. How were such projects related to post-political and supranational discourses?
