Download or read book Fassianos Building written by Elias Constantopoulos and published by Wasmuth. This book was released on 2010 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close interest in the fine arts brought Kyriakos Krokos into early contact with thepainter Alekos Fassianos who sponsored the realisation of Krokos' first significant design. Subsequently awarded the first prize in the competition for the Byzantine Museum in Thessaloniki, the commission was to be his largest and most comprehensive architectural statement in terms of a new, free-standing building. However, the much smaller commission of the conversion and remodelling of a second Athenian apartment building, belonging to the Fassianos family, provided the experimental grounds for Krokos' architectural visions and details, many of which would also be realised in the Byzantine Museum. In this subsequent mixed-use building that includes a private art gallery and apartments, both Krokosand Fassianos have realised their vision of a quotidian urban life, in which art andarchitecture are mutually sustaining. This monograph includes five essays and the reproduction of extensive hitherto unpublished archival material, and concludes with a comprehensive selection of photographs.

Book excerpt: Flow combines cutting-edge scholarship with practitioner perspectives to address the concept of 'flow' and how it connects interiors, landscapes and buildings, expanding on traditional notions of architectural prominence. Contributors explore the transitional and intermediary relationships between inside/outside. Through a range of case studies, authors extend the notion of flow beyond the western industrialised world and embrace a wider geography while engaging with the specificity of climate and place. Accompanied by stunning colour illustration and photography, Flow brings together historical, theoretical and practice-based approaches to consider themes of nature, mobility, continuity and frames.

Download or read book Greece written by Giannēs Koliopoulos and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...Meticulously researched...Thoroughly documented with copious footnotes, a shronology, and extensive bibliography, this work is recommended for academic libraries." —Library Journal Focusing on questions that seek to illuminate vital aspects of the Greek phenomenon, this modern history of Greece is organized around themes such as politics, institutions, society, ideology, foreign policy, geography, and culture. Making clear their predilection for the principles that inspired the founding fathers of the Greek state, Koliopoulos and Veremis juxtapose these principles to contemporary practices, and outline the resulting tensions in Greek society as it enters the new millenium. Challenging established notions and stereotypes that have disfigured Greek history, Greece: A Modern Sequel is meant to encourage a fresh look at the country and its people. In the process, a portrait of a new Greece emerges: modern, diverse, and strong.
Download or read book Greece written by Alexander Tzonis and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remains of antiquity define Greek architecture in the popular imagination, but Greek edifices encompass far more than these ancient structures. Offered here is a comprehensive survey of modern Greek architecture of the past hundred-plus years. The book explores the buildings and architects of modern Greece, ranging from nineteenth-century neoclassical edifices to minimalist contemporary works and urban renewal projects. The ideas driving the creation of these buildings are given full attention, as the authors examine the influence of the rise of Modernism in the arts and the characteristics of regional styles, while also considering the reasons behind the bland, functional structures that have dominated Greek cityscapes since World War II. Greecesituates this design survey within the nation’s tumultuous cultural and political history, including the two world wars, a military dictatorship, civil war, and the consumerist boom of the 1990s. A penetrating and thorough study, Greece offers a compelling account of modern Greek architecture that will be invaluable for all scholars of design and European history.

Download or read book Contested Antiquity written by Esther Solomon and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the archaeological legacies of Greece and Cyprus are often considered to represent some of the highest values of Western civilization—democracy, progress, aesthetic harmony, and rationalism—this much adored and heavily touristed heritage can quickly become the stage for clashes over identity and memory. In Contested Antiquity, Esther Solomon curates explorations of how those who safeguard cultural heritage are confronted with the best ways to represent this heritage responsibly. How should visitors be introduced to an ancient Byzantine fortification that still holds the grim reminders of the cruel prison it was used as until the 1980s? How can foreign archaeological institutes engage with another nation's heritage in a meaningful way? What role do locals have in determining what is sacred, and can this sense of the sacred extend beyond buildings to the surrounding land? Together, the essays featured in Contested Antiquity offer fresh insights into the ways ancient heritage is negotiated for modern times.
