The exhibition was strictly limited to the architectural drawings by Ernst Ziller (the German architect who designed some of Athens’ most iconic public building), resisting the temptation to include photographs or models of the buildings.

Two parallel central paths were created inside the National Gallery. Large banners with coloured magnifications of some of Ziller’s typical drawings (public building façades) form the first visual layer, a sort of an abstract urban landscape familiar to the visitor. 

On a second visual level, a path dedicated to Ziller’s drawings-watercolours is developed behind the banners and protected by them; this area is dimly-lit to promote concentration and close study of the original exhibits.
