DEMOS: thought-provoking presentation/discussion of Ideas in London


In the image above, invited guests discuss the “Intensified, layered ‘court’ scenario for Kotzia square, Athens”. The proposal drafted by Friedrich Grafling AADpl (Hon) was one among the 15 thought-provoking submissions at the Demos_by Sarcha call for ideas that were presented and discussed at the Westminster Law and Theory Center, London yesterday (28/6/2013).
