Leaf of Gathering by Panos Nikolaidis
A temporary sanctuary in the heart of Athens, this pavilion unfolds like a fallen leaf—light, open, and poised between nature and city.
Its sweeping canopy offers shade and pause, creating a civic clearing where movement slows, voices meet, and the city briefly breathes. Neither building nor monument, it exists as a gesture: an invitation to gather, reflect, and belong.
