Greek Traditional Architecture: Eastern Aegean-sporades-ionian Islands

by Dimitri Philippides

Greek Traditional Architecture unites medieval and modern Greece (15th to 20th century), and is a valuable point of reference in the quest for modern Greek identity. The objective of this publication is the collection of relevant scattered material and the presentation of unpublished one, so as to give a complete picture of traditional architecture, and thus to contribute to the understanding, appreciation and preservation of the architectural wealth of Greece. Colour photographs of exteriors and interiors, original drawings of traditional neighbourhoods and houses reflect the wealth of architecture all over Greece. This volume covers Lesbos, Samos, Chios, Skyros, Corfu (Kerkyra) and Kythera.
