A master plan for the regeneration of Ancient Corinth, one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites, has received top honors in the Urban Planning category of the European Architectural Heritage Intervention (AHI) Awards.
The project, titled “Bridging Time and Space: Master Plan for the Regeneration of Ancient Corinth, Greece,” was selected from a pool of international submissions for its integrated approach to cultural heritage management.
Developed by Thymio Papayannis and Associates (TPA) in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Corinthia, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and the Greek Ministry of Culture, the plan sets out a long-term vision for the sustainable revitalization of the site and its surrounding landscape.
It aims to unify the area’s monuments and cultural heritage sites into a cohesive whole while improving accessibility and reinforcing links with the modern town of Ancient Corinth. The proposal includes strategic interventions designed to preserve the archaeological integrity of the area while enhancing its relevance to local communities and visitors.
The AHI jury praised the project for its research-driven, interdisciplinary approach and sensitivity to both historical preservation and contemporary urban needs.
The awards recognize outstanding efforts that promote dialogue between heritage conservation and modern development across Europe.
