A-Place will present a paper in the City Street conference organized by the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana.

The presentation will take place on Thursday, September 24, in Session 3, starting at 11:00 CET.
Kaimakli Gardens is a book publication that came as a result of the ethnographic research by photographer Nicos Philippou and sociologist Christiana Stylianou for the project A Delicious Place.
They looked into Yards adjoining modest houses that are an integral part of Cypriot lay architecture. They recorded people's stories and an abundance of potted plants. The process accounts for the changing demographics of Kaimakli and it’s enrichment with a community of artists and intellectuals that moved into the suburb during the last couple of decades as well as migrants fleeing war and economic hardship elsewhere.
