Hoping to represent the “Generation of 1930s” for Arts and Architecture,  the group of Paris-educated team was brought together  in Athens, Greece by Michalis Tombros with the mission of introducing modernism and fight what they perceived as restricting academicism. It’s contribution to architecture was significant, with its first issue urgently put together to cover the CIAM IV meeting in Athens and publishing articles of Le Corbusier, Siegfried Giedion, Alberto Sartoris, Christian Zervos etc. and exhibited the work of pionnering Greek modernists like Karantinos, Kalyvas, and Stamo Papadaki beside the work the likes of Aalto, Mendelsoh, Duiker, Oud etc. And while the main goal of the magazine, as stated by Tombros was to attract the attention of goverment bodies and officials to practical, contemporary problems, theoretical  examinations also took place regarding the notion of modern aesthetics.
