The two architects of POINT SUPREME are contemporary theorists who reveal the urban condition and invent daily life. They also defy the notion of polis. When Athens loses its way, turning the agoras into chaos. When the famous charter is forgotten in a suffocating metropolis, or crushed under the feet of the marching protestors. The duo has launched its quest for surrealism by resuscitating a hybrid mythology.

Marianna RENTZOU and Konstantinos PANTAZIS, architects in their thirties of the new Athens, are, according to the saying (Nietzsche, The Gay Science), superficial – out of profundity.
