Foundation of the Hellenic World

<h3>The Foundation of the Hellenic World</h3>

<strong>The Foundation of the Hellenic World (FHW)</strong> was envisioned, founded, and funded by the family of Lazaros Efraimoglou. Its mission is to preserve Hellenic history and tradition, create an awareness of the universal dimension of Hellenism, and promote its contribution to cultural evolution.

FHW demonstrated its innovative character from the outset. Its Statutes included a provision for achieving its objectives through the use of new technologies. From the very beginning, and while still searching for a location for the Cultural Centre, the Foundation’s administration turned to the Internet. It presented the first Greek websites with historical content to both the Greek and international community.

At the same time, it created a pioneering laboratory for three-dimensional reconstructions. Its first project, presented as a documentary, won 1st Prize at the Amiens Festival of Archaeological Films. This marked only the beginning. More programmes followed. Many of them were enriched or newly designed in the Foundation’s two privately owned premises.

During its operation, Hellenic Cosmos has presented numerous activities, which include exhibitions, educational programmes, Virtual Reality programmes, and documentaries produced by FHW.

The Cultural Centre’s museum shops display various FHW products, such as books, CD-ROMs, and documentaries. At the Cyber Hall, people of all ages can navigate through FHWFHW’sbsites.

<h3>The FHW Spaces</h3>

The organization continually reshapes the area to accommodate the expanding needs of the Cultural Centre. Therefore, <strong>Building 7</strong>, which was inaugurated in 2004 and is a multifunctional cultural area that has hosted various events, from exhibitions and educational programmes to <strong>conferences</strong> and <strong>seminars</strong>, will be replaced by a new building that is improved aesthetically and functionally.

In March 2006, the construction of the “<strong>Tholos</strong>” was completed, a building that houses the most perfect, presently, Virtual Reality system of the Hellenic Cosmos with a capacity of 130 people. It is a building of exceptional aesthetic value with unique technological infrastructure, which hosts the Foundation’s digital collections. The “Tholos” resembles a <strong>planetarium</strong> regarding its natural and morphological characteristics. But essentially, their only common element is the semi-spherical shape of the projection surface.

On March 20th 2008, the “<strong>Theatron</strong>” was inaugurated, a building for numerous uses, with a capacity of 1,100 people. With its main characteristics of multiformity and flexibility, it can house the most demanding productions regarding the arrangement of space and technological equipment. Its technical specifications follow the highest standards, while the audiovisual infrastructure is unique in Greece. The stage technologies allow the creation of virtual sets and the incorporation of happenings into them. The “Theatron” also possesses complete and ultramodern conference infrastructure and the possibility to support live connections of image and sound. It has an ambition to house contemporary Greek artistic expression, hosting various events, from theatrical and dance performances to exhibitions and conferences.

Bouboulinas Mansion

<h3>Bouboulinas Mansion</h3>

<p>A Mauritanian architect designed and constructed the <strong>Bouboulinas Mansion</strong> at the end of the 17th century. The building’s floor plan forms the shape of the Greek letter Π, a characteristic closely associated with the status of its owner in Spetsiot architecture. Most Spetsiot nobles of the era chose this architectural form for their residences.The mansion consists of a ground floor and two upper levels. A prominent external stone staircase connects the front courtyard to the first floor, where the museum now operates. This floor includes four large rooms that serve as exhibition spaces, offering visitors a glimpse into the legacy of Laskarina Bouboulina and the era in which she lived.

In 1991, Mr. Philip Demertzis-Bouboulis, a fourth-generation descendant of Laskarina Boumboulina, established the Boumboulina Museum as part of his initiative to preserve the historic family mansion, which at the time faced imminent structural deterioration. It is an essential historical element and a must-visit destination if you plan to organize an event on the island of Spetses.</p>

<h4>The Mansion</h4>

<p>During the approximately 40-minute guided tour, the visitor will hear the remarkable story of the legendary captain, Laskarina Boumboulina. Her journey unfolds from her birth in the Turkish prisons of Istanbul, through her decisive role in the War of Independence in 1821, her contributions and sacrifices for the homeland, to her unexpected and tragic end.

Visitors will have the opportunity to view a rich collection that includes weapons, antique books, porcelain, documents and letters from the Revolution, paintings and ship models, portraits and prints of the heroine, personal belongings, maps, embroidery, Byzantine icons, as well as furniture and objects dating from the 17th to the 20th century. A highlight of the tour is the magnificent Florentine carved ceiling of the grand hall.

On the museum’s exterior, a dedicated space can accommodate up to <strong>180 people for dinner</strong> and <strong>300 for a Concert</strong>, available for events such as <strong>music nights, festivals, lectures</strong>, etc. During the winter months, the museum remains closed due to repairs and maintenance.

Gazarte

<h3>Gazarte Cultural Hub Athens</h3>
Gazarte living room is a large area of libraries full of books and special publications on architecture, theatre, cinema, poetry, stage design and more. The patrons can sit comfortably on the cosy, warm-coloured couches and enjoy their drinks to the accompaniment of delicious finger food.

The warm, soft lighting of the lampshades and the beautiful classical carpets, combined with the wood that dominates all over the place, offer the sensation of a cosy atmosphere.
Moreover, Gazarte’s renovated bar offers its customers a variety of brand-new cocktails with fresh fruits and exotic spices. It is truly a pleasure to be with your friends in a cool shelter downtown, enjoying refreshing cocktails and delicious finger food.

An essential aspect of that unique <strong>terrace</strong> atmosphere is the careful selection of music played by the following radio producers: Kotseta Yota, Adam Petro and Tsitomenea Saki.

Gazarte also provides one of the most interesting terraces in Athens. At the centre of Gazi, only a breath away from Kerameikos metro station, our green, new terrace dominates among the industrial buildings of Technopolis Park.
Olive trees, pomegranate trees, tangerine trees and flower pots of lavender, mint and basil not only emerge their sweet scent but also offer a fresh cool breeze to our customers during hot summer nights.

On Gazarte’s second floor, one can find a sizeable unified hall of alternative aesthetics, ideal for conferences, company presentations and cultural events. Through its extended partitions of glass that circulate the entire place, the view of the Acropolis, the National Observatory and Lycabettus is more than fluid.

Heavy curtains obfuscate the hall when needed, as on unique video projections during daylight. However, with its walls decorated with visual constructions created especially for Gazarte by the sculptor Costis Papadopoulos, the whole area exudes a unique cultural atmosphere. The wooden floor, the impromptu bar with the vinyl records, the vast sofas, and the smooth, theatrical lighting combined with complete audiovisual coverage have all led to numerous companies’ profile presentations, conferences and workshops as this alternative space are ideal for such events.

Theocharakis Foundation

<h3>The Theocharakis Foundation</h3>
The <strong>Basil and Marina Theocharakis Foundation</strong> is opposite the Hellenic Parliament, in Athens’s cultural, political and commercial heart. The Foundation’s premises on the corner of Merlin and Vassilissis Sofias streets were designed by Vassilis Tsagris during the last years of the 1920s; built in the eclectic style of the inter-war period, the building—which was listed in 1985–borrows freely from many European styles. Having served a variety of functions down the years, the <strong>B &amp; M Theocharakis Foundation acquired the premises in 2005</strong>.

The building’s exterior was renovated in line with plans drawn up by Dimitris Agiostratitis, while the Foundation’s interior was reorganized by the architectural firm P. Tzonos-G. Heupel ensured that the resultant spaces provided all the facilities required by a contemporary cultural centre: galleries for temporary and permanent exhibitions, an auditorium for musical events, lectures and conferences, an Art Shop, a Café and a data access area.

<h3>Six dogs</h3>
Six dogs is an all-day/all-night cultural entertainment centre at the heart of Athens’ Historical Center (Monastiraki), which organically combines each one of its elements: a <strong>Gig Space</strong>, a <strong>Project Space</strong>, a <strong>Bar</strong>, a <strong>Foyer</strong>, and a <strong>Garden</strong>. It’s not introduced as a new space but as a new model for a room. It is suggested as a space which aims at constantly creating and maintaining a high-profile dynamic nucleus of cross-genre activities in a part of the city, which is natural to happen, aiming at being both avant-garde and pop.

Having a realistic average of hosting 500+ events each year, the space keeps up a hyperactive profile that is never indifferent. It is <strong>open from 10 in the morning till late in the night daily</strong>, serving a wide range of local goodies, unique cocktails, and homemade delights, all in a price-friendly package. One of the most dynamic Athens-based architectural offices, Point Supreme Architects, has re-designed the whole space.

<strong>The Foyer
</strong>The Foyer is a bright and relaxing space for the get-together, which functions as a sub-space for its neighbouring Gig Space since it has a wide opening connecting the two, thus serving as an in-between space, as well as an individual Bar/Café, depending on the occasion.

<strong>The Gig Space
</strong>The Gig Space is probably the nucleus of the complex: a flexible and neutral studio space that is configured for anything from live gigs, theatrical performances, parties, and screenings, to educational programs, workshops, seminars and lectures, both by young Greek artists and acts from abroad, constantly emerging, always fresh. With an emphasis on music, equally thrown upon live or DJ gigs, the space’s sound system is active almost on a year-round basis, offering an ideal experience of a solid and complete gig.

<strong>The Garden</strong>
Four months of daily hard work, 15 tones of 60-year-old trash, hundreds of meters of cable, tens of kilos of Swedish plywood, loads of river sand, a lot of feel-good workers, and most of all, respect for the natural surroundings that were yet to be uncovered underneath the muddy layers, and the back Garden opened its doors to the general public at the end of August 2010. The Garden is open from 10 in the morning, daily, till late at night, offering comfy custom wooden seating, handmade hammocks, Free Wi-Fi, many plugs around the trees (!) for laptops, shavers, etc., and many more.

The <strong>menu</strong> focuses on seasonal products and local groceries, serving Ice Teas, a large variety of Cocktails, homemade Deserts, Draught Beers, Bagels, Soups, six HOT d.o.g.s (of course!), a wide range of warm liquors, specially blended flavoured-infused Vodkas (Vanilla, Fig, Ginger, etc.). The Garden functions in an almost-silent bar way, handling the weight of the attention to the people and the surrounding natural space.
