The emergency department of Nikaia General Hospital in Piraeus was evacuated on Friday night due to a fire in the basement of the building Twenty-one firefighters and seven tenders attended the scene and managed to bring the fire under control The emergency department was on duty at the time According to Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis who visited the scene and posted photos on his social media the fire broke out in an empty corridor where boxes of old documents were kept He said the cause of the fire remains unknown As a precaution we evacuated an area in the emergency department due to smoke Due to the inability of the radiology department to operate The patients who were already [at the hospital] and needed admission went through their admission process normally The hospital will immediately return to full operation,” he said Enter your information below to receive our weekly newsletters with the latest insights opinion pieces and current events straight to your inbox In the past week, scientists announced the discovery of ancient Roman ruins underneath the surface of the lake in Iznik, Turkey But this was not just any archaeological discovery They have may have chanced upon the ancient Basilica of the city of Nicaea (now Iznik) one of Christianity's most historic sites and the place where the Church made its first official statement about the relationship between Jesus and God “I’d been doing field surveys in Iznik since 2006 and hadn’t yet discovered a magnificent structure like that.” Nicaea was a locus for commerce and politics It was part of the Roman province of Bithnyia and Pontus and competed with rival city Nicomedia for the seat of the Roman governor (a kind of ancient capital city) by the fourth century it had again risen to prominence as a military and administrative center for the eastern part of the Roman empire following decades of tense and heated theological debate the emperor Constantine convened a meeting of bishops in Nicaea to decide upon the central religious debates of the day like other Roman emperors and administrators was a strong believer in the principles of unity and uniformity Theological disagreements about the nature of the relationship between Jesus and God the Father had already bubbled into public controversy in the Egyptian city of Alexandria and Constantine wanted to put an end to the discord There had been Church councils before Nicaea but this was the first that endeavored to reach a consensus by involving global representatives According to the Christian historian Sozomen Constantine had Hosius of Cordoba (in Spain) invite the “most eminent men of the churches in every country.”   Contrary to many descriptions of this on the internet both Alexander and Arius agreed that Jesus was the Son of God and God on the basis of the opening to the Gospel of John that Jesus was present for the creation of the universe What they disagreed about was the sense in which Jesus was a God and whether or not he was equal to God the Father Arius argued that “there was a time when [Jesus] was not.” It was a very brief moment This meant that Jesus was subordinate to God the Father maintained that Jesus and God the Father had always coexisted and were equal to one another At stake in this debate were some fundamental philosophical principles that Christianity had inherited from Greek philosophers like Plato Each group advocated for a different word to describe the relationship between Father and Son Arius and his supporters wanted to say that Jesus was homoiousios (of a slightly different substance than the Father) and Alexander and his supporters wanted to say that he is homoousios (of the same substance as the Father) the entire debate was over a single letter—an iota or “I”—from which we get the modern expressions “an iota of difference” and “a jot of difference.” The debate at the council was highly contentious. According to a 14th century legend, St. Nicholas (of Santa Claus fame) actually punched Arius at one point in the proceedings The council eventually sided with Alexander and signed a theological statement known as the Nicene Creed The vote on the creed was not close: only 20 bishops did not vote for it and only three (Arius and his closest supporters) refused to sign it the 17 who hadn’t voted for the creed initially were eventually coerced into supporting it by the emperor Constantine didn’t vote but oversaw the proceedings It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this moment The Nicene Creed forms the basis for the modern creed used in churches all over the world today has shown in an article for Past and Present this legend is about smearing the teachings of Arius with the filth of excrement But the legend bolstered the piety of the Council of Nicaea those torn between an active beach vacation with lots of scuba diving and a religious pilgrimage no longer have to choose Got a tip?

and many more scenes captured by the photographic lens offer insight into the day-to-day lives of thousands of refugees who settled in Nea Kokkinia after the 1922 Asia Minor Catastrophe and the 1923 population swaps personal heirlooms and written material on those who moved into the settlement breathe life into the area’s history These important historical archives on the biggest urban refugee settlement in Attica are being presented through May 19 at the Nikaia Municipal Art Gallery Split into two – the first on the refugee settlement and the second on its photographers – the shows were inspired by the 100-year anniversary of its establishment “The anniversary and the publication of my book are what prompted the thought of organizing a historical exhibition with different mementos physical objects and photographs,” history researcher Kyriaki Papathanasopoulou author of “The Refugee Settlement in Nikaia: Associations Identities and Memories,” tells Kathimerini examines how the refugees began to assimilate into their new surroundings “It looks at the arrival of more than a million refugees in Piraeus the reactions this caused and the new situation that developed,” says Papathanasopoulou It also explores the various associations that emerged mainly on the basis of where the refugees came from and their importance in addressing the challenges of housing was to “help the refugees become citizens and to get the papers they needed to conduct transactions with the Greek state as well as to help them overcome bureaucratic obstacles one of which was the fact that many of these refugees only spoke Turkish.” The establishment of the biggest urban refugee settlement in Attica – with more than 30,000 residents hailing from many different parts of Asia Minor – in 1928 and its gradual modernization and expansion makes up the third part of the first show “The neighborhoods that emerged tended to have distinct ethnocultural characteristics and reflected the refugees’ reminiscences of the places they left behind economic and class status,” explains Papathanasopoulou The unit “Reparations and Accommodation” focuses on how the refugees worked together to create a new town and to raise the standard of living at the neighborhood level through “beautification” associations “They showed solidarity in order to improve their day-to-day lives consistently making demands of the local administration or the state for infrastructure education and schools,” says the historian there is a special unit on the refugees’ political professional/economic assimilation into Greek society Most of Nea Kokkinia’s residents were working class and by May 1936 were organized into active unions the most popular sport in those days and one for which they almost immediately created clubs upon arrival in Greece or continued those they had in Asia Minor Associations for women began appearing in 1930 This was a time when women’s identity was changing especially as they had to work to support their families,” says Papathanasopoulou rebetiko flourished in these working-class neighborhoods “because it related to the experiences of the refugees to their hopes and their struggles for survival in their new homeland,” she adds Titled “Nikaia’s Old Photographers,” the second exhibition has been curated by Maria Poulou an art historian who is responsible for the municipal gallery It comprises 130 shots taken by 25 photographers with links to the refugee settlement: professionals with studios in the area known and unknown outdoor photographers and a few standout amateurs Much of the material was brought together thanks to the significant efforts of photographer and researcher Vassilis Vasileiadis a Nikaia native with family roots in Asia Minor meaning that it also addresses the later settlers of Nikaia the Peloponnese and the Ionian island of Kefalonia Kathimerini asked the curator what the most interesting element about the first-generation refugee photographers was the vast majority of the photographers [in the area] were from Asia Minor and those who had been born before 1900 had trained there too They stand out for their outstanding technical skills but also their good taste,” explains Poulou who sees this as evidence of the broader cultural experiences these refugees had in Asia Minor where photography as an art form had evolved quite significantly in its ports revealed that Nea Kokkinia’s commercial photographers set up an association called Pheidias “The name tells us that the photographers of Nea Kokkinia were aware of their own artistic merits and this is how they established that,” she says The refugee settlement of Nea Kokkinia may have grown and evolved into present-day Nikaia – a thriving suburb of roughly 83,000 residents – yet as the photographer and researcher Vassilis Vasileiadis who contributed extensively to the exhibition the town has no monument marking its roots.“Disease poverty and hunger claimed a lot of lives in the first few years of the refugees’ settling in Nea Kokkinia Knowing this and having lived in this town myself I feel that there is an unpaid debt to those people who suffered and to those who died,” he says.“This town needs to set an example; it needs to present some work of art AEK has solidified its spot in second place after beating Ionikos in the mid-week (Round 14) matches

the impact area of the site directed the design towards a strategy based on the function of events in the public sphere the concept’s main objective was the creation of a new typology within the space capable of hosting non-predicited and spontaneous events by the citizens themselves this interaction would turn the intervention site from a regional park into an active public space for the wider area of nikaia. winning third place in the architecture competition that called for the redesign the concept borrows heavily from the theories of italian architect and surveyor giambattista nolli nolli formulated a method of perceiving a city’s structure through the analogy of mass and void — public and private — introducing a strategy of exploiting empty space in urban design nolli saw the city represented as an extensive mass that is then carved out to create interior space these built areas are represented with black on the map while white areas signify fields of possible events in the public sphere.  the proposal’s main objective was the creation of a new typology within the space the papalampropoulos syriopoulou architecture bureau takes this idea and applies it to the vegetation surrounding the main park the core of the park is formed as an empty space of possible events which is defined by the dense surrounding planting of the park’, explains the studio ‘the existing vegetation is enriched while a clearing-square is created along the site: the central public space of the design.’ the relationship between ‘urban space’ and the dense vegetation of the park is consolidated through the bureau’s proposed creation of green ‘portals’ — man-made corridors through the greenery that provide a gradual transition between nikaia and the park proper.  the main square highlights the axis of the former cemetery and provides space for both fixed and temporary functions a church, café and cinema-theatre are all proposed as permanent additions to the site while temporary functions such as concerts festivals and markets can also be accommodated the ‘green mass’ surrounding the clearing hosts an artificial lake as well as a memorial and museum of immigration and a recycling point.  the relation between ‘urban space’ and vegetation is consolidated through the bureau’s creation of green ‘portals’ man-made corridors through the vegetation provide

Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) has yielded intriguing insights into the present and future of one of the largest and best-preserved refugee settlements in Greece involved on-site inspections at the building block level and documented over 1,200 refugee buildings Eighty-five percent of them were found to be in good condition This documentation could serve as the scientific basis for a comprehensive state intervention aimed at preserving this valuable residential ensemble The “Research for the Preservation of the Refugee Architectural Heritage of Nikaia” was conducted on the centennial of the Asia Minor Disaster as Nikaia is home to one of the best-preserved refugee settlements in the country The Urban Environment Lab at the NTUA’s School of Architecture undertook this challenging task through an agreement with the Municipality of Nikaia-Rentis in late 2022 The objective was to assess the current situation and evaluate the possibilities for repair and reuse based on scientific criteria encompassing urban planning this marks the first extensive and comprehensive documentation of a refugee settlement while others have undergone various modifications and additions by their owners The NTUA documented a total of 1,282 refugee buildings in the area but in the end we surpassed 1,200,” Nikos Belavilas He highlighted the main challenge in Nikaia as abandonment and neglect 85 percent of the residences were found to be in good or moderate condition Apart from the so-called “Germanika” structures prefab houses provided by Germany as reparations to Greece after World War I the remaining refugee buildings exhibit neoclassical architecture many of these structures were repaired in the 1960s and some received additional modifications during that period,” he said only 55 percent of these buildings are currently inhabited “This occurs either because residing in refugee neighborhoods is stigmatized or due to the compact size of the houses usually two-roomed and lacking modern amenities there is a reluctance to invest in transforming them into modern homes,” Belavilas said The experts conducted additional research through the land registry “The primary issue lies not in split ownership but in the economic incapacity of owners to undertake building repairs A small number of owners lease these properties to migrants without proper maintenance,” he said The study concludes with a proposal recommending the selection of a neighborhood consisting of five building blocks with attractive external courtyards some located in a straight line from the city market and the metro station to be included in a rehabilitation and resettlement program Belavilas suggests that this program might be better suited for implementation by a university for the creation of student dormitories or the Ministry of Labor for the establishment of social housing rather than being solely managed by the municipality This could be achieved through a model similar to what the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) once employed obtaining usage rights for 10-15 years in return a subsidized repair operation could be initiated with the state covering a substantial percentage and intervening in public space redevelopment,” he said Nikaia stands as one of the 12 largest urban refugee settlements established in the wake of the Asia Minor Disaster where Tzavella and Belogianni Nikou streets are presently located the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Health Welfare and Relief declared the expropriation of land north of the river allocated to the Refugee Care Fund (TPP) for the establishment of a refugee settlement marking the official founding of the Nea Kokkinia settlement initiating an extensive urban development plan within the following year the Committee for the Rehabilitation of Refugees (EAP) assumed responsibility for the work initiated by the TPP The marks of the urban development plan and the efforts of TPP and EAP are still evident in the area while others have undergone various modifications and additions by their owners or have been subject to abandonment refugee homes are situated in the central part of the Municipal Community of Nikaia spanning from Krini Square to below Amerikanidon Kyrion Street The study classifies the refugee residences in Nikaia into four distinct areas: the Germanika and sets of four single-story structures south of Amerikanidon Kyrion Street This zone encompasses all six typologies of refugee residences ranging from the Germanika structures of 38 sq.m to two-story
