In 1914, Swiss architect Le Corbusier designed his Dom-Ino system. This construction system was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the house, thereby giving freedom to design the interior configuration. Long before Dom-Ino, Le Corbusier began his career with studies about Ancient Greece. In fact, he was fascinated by the ancient architecture of the Greek polis.

So, it could have been an inspiration for creating Dom-Ino. It was in the 1910s that reinforced concrete was introduced to Greece. In the beginning, the Dom-Ino system inspired a small group of Greek architects, before being assimilated by the Greek construction industry, as the principles of the dispositiv were easy to understand, assimilate and reproduce. Until today, the Polykatoikia typology, as an application of the Dom-Ino system, has strongly influenced the informal bottom-up development of many Greek cities.

The unfinished skeleton structure in the heart of Mavromati can be seen as a built metaphor for both the triumphal progress of Dom-Ino in Greece, as well as the common informal construction tool for vernacular Greek architecture. In its rudimentary state, it is a perfect place for artistic and social appropriations. This project activates the space as experimental laboratory. Different formations of wire arrangements catch electromagnetic signals from the atmosphere and unforeseen events from the realm of shortwaves. The structure itself is used as a big antenna, telling us about present tuning politics. The hidden sounds of the aether (the ancient Greek word is aithḗr) will be made audible for the people on the ground floor.
