The aim of this particular paper is to investigate open-air cinemas as one example of urban voids in the wider Athens area. This research looks more closely at 55 open air cinemas and their surrounding urban environments from the years 1920-1970. Athens, as the capital, was the chosen placement of these cinemas because of its role as the center of progress during that time. The early 1920s was the starting era of open air cinemas in Greece, while 1980 was the turning point; this time period is chosen to be the timeline of this paper. Out of the 55 open air cinemas 10 of them will be explicitly analyzed in special cases. Through floor plans and sections designed specifically for these cases I will attempt to state their relationship with the general urban space. Finally, the elements that separate open air cinemas which are still functioning from other urban voids will be inspected and laid out to the reader, in addition to what happened with cinemas which no longer are functioning.
