The ECOWEEK 15-year portfolio is a journey to the rich puzzle of activity, people, and innovative sustainable design projects that was created in more than 200 design workshops, in indoor and outdoor public urban locations in more than 30 cities, in 17 countries, by more than 4500 young professionals and students of architecture, design, landscape design and other disciplines from around the world.

We are proud to share this experience. It started with the first Ecological Week in Aegina, Greece in 2005-2006, and a series of screenings of the environmental documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ in numerous locations around Greece – including schools, and keynote lectures by former US VP Al Gore, Robert Swan in 2007; the first ECOWEEK International conference for architects in Athens, which included a pre-opening tour of the newly completed New Acropolis Museum; the first sustainable design workshop series in Athens, Greece in 2009, that featured, among others, a keynote lecture by Pritzker-Architecture-Prize-winner architect Shigeru Ban; in 2010, ECOWEEK hosted workshops in Israel and Greece, and an installation at the Metropolis bookstore in the center of Athens; starting in 2011, ECOWEEK was invited to host workshops that created urban installations, interventions, and placemaking projects, among other cities, in Milano, Italy, in 2012 in Rome, Italy, in 2013 in Krakow, Poland, in 2014 in London, UK, in 2015 in Prishtina, Kosovo, in 2016 in Germia Park outside Prishtina, Kosovo, in 2017 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, and in 2018 in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2019 ECOWEEK held a special exhibition for the preservation of the ancient mosaic of Aegina, Greece, and in 2020 ECOWEEK responded to COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns with a series of online international lecture series and design workshops.

The portfolio would not be complete without the first ECOWEEK Book#1: 50 Voices for Sustainability, featuring work and interviews by environmental experts and prize-winning architects, including Kengo Kuma, Bjarke Ingels and Diebedo Francis Kere – all keynote lectures at ECOWEEK events. Finally, the ECOWEEK and 92streetY collaboration in 7 Days of Genius, and the ECOWEEK Greenhouse, the creative hub where young professionals develop real small scale projects from A to Z.
