The 'Park of Theogony' is awarded with the first prize in a greek architectural competition for the reconstruction and development of Ammoudara sea front in Crete, organized by the municipality of Malevizi.
After analyzing all the charasteristics of the area, we searched to find a parameter that could lead to a unified design. We were looking for an idea that was going to act as a link between the present, the past and the future.
Βoth physically (the Giouxtas mountain and the Dia island) and historically (Idi mountain). Mythological and historical references show that there has been a strong bond between Crete and the father of all Gods , Zeus.
The 'Park of Theogony', as we named the total of theme parks, consists of seven "snapshots", each of them inspired from the Theogony of Isiodos. Basic design principle is the linear illustration of Zeus mythical life, from the time of his birth to his rise at the kingdom of the Olympic Gods.
The story is summed up in the following seven "snapshots":
A1. Birh of Zeus
A2. Amaltheia's Garden
A3. The "Battle of Titans " theater
A4. The "Kourites" area
A5. The Zeus' gift
A6. The trip of Europe A7. Zeus' rest
