4 LIFE STRATEGIES NON-PROFIT DESIGN ORGANIZATION
4 Life Strategies a non-profit organization established in 2011 with the mission to strategically and proactively design actions for life. Founding members are the new media artist Maurice Benayoun and architect Lina Stergiou. Director is Lina Stergiou.
4 Life Strategies is the body to conceive and implement the Against All Odds project, abbreviated to AAO. AAO started in 2011 and is a triennial series of actions and events with the philosophy to promote design and art as action of relief, as source of inspiration and as tool for building equality.
The first series of actions and events of AAO is titled Ethics/Aesthetics. Ethics / Aesthetics has the objective to explore the moral values related to territorial practices, to research and suggest solutions on social and ecological issues and to communicate the conclusions to the public. Ethics/Aesthetics unfolded in a series of events from January 2011 to June 2012 reflecting an interdisciplinary approach: Two international conferences with academics, architectural and art historians and critics, architects, designers and artists at Benaki Museum Athens and Athens School of Fine Arts; Four exhibitions at the Benaki Museum Athens and the Hellenic Cosmos Cultural Center; Five academic workshops with Parsons The New School For Design New York, National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts, University of Thessaly and Université de Paris 8/CITU lab; Five performance-actions in public spaces in the center of Athens and the Benaki Museum (during Athens Art Week by Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Futur en Seine festival in Paris);
And a special event, Athens Think-Tank Awards, for honoring the tutors and participants in the AAO academic workshops.
ΑΑΟ: Ethics / Aesthetics project is organized under the Auspices of the Hellenic Ministry for the Environment, Energy & Climate Change, the Hellenic Ministry for Culture & Tourism, the United Nations’ Development Program (UNDP), the US Embassy in Athens, the Embassy of Spain and Holland in Athens, the City of Athens Tourism and Economic Development Company (ATEDCo), the Technical Chamber of Greece, the Society of Graduate Architects-Panhellenic Architects’ Association (SADAS-PEA) and the Hellenic Institute of Architecture (EIA).

4 LIFE STRATEGIES NON-PROFIT DESIGN ORGANIZATION
4 Life Strategies a non-profit organization established in 2011 with the mission to strategically and proactively design actions for life. Founding members are the new media artist Maurice Benayoun and architect Lina Stergiou. Director is Lina Stergiou.
4 Life Strategies is the body to conceive and implement the Against All Odds project, abbreviated to AAO. AAO started in 2011 and is a triennial series of actions and events with the philosophy to promote design and art as action of relief, as source of inspiration and as tool for building equality.
The first series of actions and events of AAO is titled Ethics/Aesthetics. Ethics / Aesthetics has the objective to explore the moral values related to territorial practices, to research and suggest solutions on social and ecological issues and to communicate the conclusions to the public. Ethics/Aesthetics unfolded in a series of events from January 2011 to June 2012 reflecting an interdisciplinary approach:
Two international conferences with academics, architectural and art historians and critics, architects, designers and artists at Benaki Museum Athens and Athens School of Fine Arts;
Four exhibitions at the Benaki Museum Athens and the Hellenic Cosmos Cultural Center;
Five academic workshops with Parsons The New School For Design New York, National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts, University of Thessaly and Université de Paris 8/CITU lab;
Five performance-actions in public spaces in the center of Athens and the Benaki Museum (during Athens Art Week by Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Futur en Seine festival in Paris);
And a special event, Athens Think-Tank Awards, for honoring the tutors and participants in the AAO academic workshops.
ΑΑΟ: Ethics / Aesthetics project is organized under the Auspices of the Hellenic Ministry for the Environment, Energy & Climate Change, the Hellenic Ministry for Culture & Tourism, the United Nations’ Development Program (UNDP), the US Embassy in Athens, the Embassy of Spain and Holland in Athens, the City of Athens Tourism and Economic Development Company (ATEDCo), the Technical Chamber of Greece, the Society of Graduate Architects-Panhellenic Architects’ Association (SADAS-PEA) and the Hellenic Institute of Architecture (EIA).
