The concept of Urban Protocol names a strategy concerning the condition of Athens today. It would serve as an experimental pseudomethodology that faces the condition of the city. The Urban Protocols are meant to introduce legal temporary occupancies of the abandoned
city centre that will be accepted and controlled by a municipal authority; the purpose of an Urban Protocol would be to establish cluster-like micro-legislative constructions with communal functions.
Urban Protocols are formed as systems of rules. Using a video game terminology we may say that the Urban Protocols are "play-tested" in the city, performed and improved via Internet.
The system of rules they represent could be transformed and re-established easily. The Urban Protocol challenges the relation between the city and theInternet; the concept of user would function better for its performancethan the one of citizen. Nevertheless its most sophisticated part
would have to deal with the relation between user and citizen. Its most challenging legislative part is ruled by the
relationship between the Internet and the state; the Internet is understood as the quick functional basis for the
formation, installation and function of an Urban Protocol.
