A few words about the area
The Refugee Housing Complex on Alexandras Avenue are a dilapidated urban development located in Athens, in the Ambelokipi neighborhood at 165–169 Alexandras Avenue. It consists of eight rectangular apartment buildings with their long sides parallel to the avenue, containing a total of 228 apartments, several of which are still occupied today. Until nearly the end of the 2000s, tenants were living in 90 of these apartments, with the rest having been transferred to government ownership in order to be included in the broader redevelopment project that was then being planned and involved the reconstruction of the Panathinaikos stadium.
The housing units were built between 1933 and 1935 under the auspices of the Greek government, which was seeking ways to house the hundreds of thousands of refugees who had flocked to Athens following the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
