Two young Greek architects, Natasha Lianou & Ermis Chalvatzis working for Zaha Hadid Architects Studio, presented their proposal for an urban park which combines residential and office towers, green areas, cultural space and retail plazas. "It is a solution to the sparsity of green areas and the dense urban fabric of Athens. The urban park would be developed in multiple layers, where visitors could experience the park from various points of view. The top floor of the towers will have gardens and areas where residents can relax with clear views of the Parthenon, the coastline and the sky." 

The project also focuses on encompassing the neighbouring Agricultural University of Athens, since, after all, Votanikos was named after the nearby botanical garden.
