Description:
Bilingual (greek-english) edition. Soft cover, 28x28 cm, 333 pp., 600 colour images and drawings. This volume presents architectural syntheses distinctive of the oeuvre of architect Ioannis Vikelas. The selection is based on chronological rather than thematic criteria, so giving a diachronic picture of Vikelas’ work and enabling the reader to follow the changes occurring in the design and the construction of architectural projects over time. In the course of his fifty-year career (1959-2009) Vikelas has prepared studies for a large number of buildings of various architectural types and supervised their construction. The book presents urban ensembles, residential complexes, private villas, office blocks, high-rise buildings, government ministries, town halls, libraries, museums, educational foundations, hospitals, industrial buildings, exhibition kiosks, shops and department stores, banks, malls, cinemas, sports facilities, hotels, marinas, airports, churches, monumental tombs, public parks and… Read More

This extensive and exhaustive study of Cypriot urban costume during the last century of Ottoman occupation presents valuable information derived not only from extant Cypriot items of clothing and jewellery, but also from engravings, water-colours and rare or unpublished written sources · such as the register with the dragoman Hadjigeorgakis Kornessios's estate and other lists with the estates of deceased persons from Nicosia and Larnaca. The author, currently an assistant professor at the University of Cyprus, has conducted an original research based on a combination of ethnographical methods and historical documentation. Amply illustrated, this luxurious edition is an important contribution to the study of the modern cultural heritage of Cyprus and the preservation of memories and traditions.

Cluj-Napoca, 2016. In English. Hard cover, 28 cm, 400 pp., ill. ISBN: 978-606-543-742-5."The year 2017 will mark the hundredth anniversary of Carl Schuchhardt's last and most comprehensive survey of the Dobrogea walls, that complex of three linear fortifications linking the Danube with the Black Sea. Of all the topics that absorbed the German archaeologist over the course of his long life, none, perhaps, proved more enduring than his study of the Lower Danubian Earthwork Fortifications in Romania. Indelibly linked as his name is with Pergamon and Haltern, with the Eberswalde and Craiova hoards, and with the search for Vineta, however, Schuchhardt's contributions in the area of Romanian archaeology have not received the attention that they deserve. The present volume attempts to address this gap with annotated texts of Schuchhardt's four relevant papers on the Lower Danubian Earthwork Fortifications together with a discussion of his life and certain aspects of his contributions to European and Romanian… Read More
