TEKTON

This catalog was published on the occasion of the TEKTON exhibition and serves both as an exhibition catalog and as a publication dedicated to the historic Carob Mill Storehouse in Limassol, which today houses the PSI Foundation. The exhibition title comes from the technical office of its creators, civil engineer Andreas Papadopoulos and architect Phoebus Polydoridis. Focusing on their lives and work, the book charts the emergence of Cypriot Modernism as a symbol of independence and social transformation, highlighting the Carob Warehouse as one of its most important monuments. Alongside archival photographs, drawings, and documentation of the building—whose visible concrete structure and parabolic arches define both its form and function—the catalog contemplates the contemporary reactivation of the space. Simultaneously, it documents Aftermath, the site-specific installation using artificial intelligence by British artist Mat Collishaw, aiming to bridge the past and the future by immersing visitors in a hypothetical environment that addresses issues of technological and ecological transformation. The name PSI, derived from the Greek letter Ψ, refers to the building itself: the inverted form of the letter, which its facade resembles, is a central visual motif and dominates the concrete-textured catalog cover, reinforcing the dialog between architecture, identity, and contemporary artistic practice.
