Following the recent announcement of the Faliron Bay Park's official name, "Aenaon"—a word imbued with rich Greek meaning, signifying something ever-flowing and eternal—this momentous occasion was marked in the presence of Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Prefect of Attica, Nikolaos Chardalias. It is a name that beautifully encapsulates the enduring spirit of this project and its significance for the city and its people. As TPA Director Ivy Nanopoulou expressed, the journey of Faliron Bay Park has been a remarkable story of perseverance and vision. Since its inception in 2000, this project has demanded unwavering dedication, overcoming numerous challenges, from securing funding to navigating complex collaborations across ministries and stakeholders. Through it all, the team’s commitment has never faltered, preserving the integrity and essence of this transformative vision for over two decades. This achievement belongs to every professional involved—architects, urban planners, structural engineers, and more—whose collective efforts have brought this dream to life. Special recognition goes to Katerina Andritsou, whose leadership, professionalism, and dedication Ivy described as indispensable: "Without her, we wouldn’t have achieved this result." The naming of "Aenaon" is not just the unveiling of a park; it’s the celebration of a legacy built on resilience, integrity, and a profound sense of social responsibility. As Ivy reminded us, our work in architecture and urban planning is a series of long-distance races, requiring strategy, persistence, and professionalism. Here’s to this milestone and to the ever-flowing journey ahead. The road may be long, but with collective effort, it is bound to be meaningful. #AenaonPark #FalironBayPark #UrbanPlanning #Architecture #LandscapeDesign #Resilience https://lnkd.in/d33rGNwi
