Product Description
To thumb through the pages of this stunning volume is to experience the beauty and variety of Greek architectural decoration from around 1700 to the mid-20th century. Glorious color photographs reveal exquisite murals and reliefs, painted and tiled interiors and exteriors-and a wealth of rich, vibrant color. The text guides readers through the splendors of Greek architecture, while the close-up photographs-ranging from small, simple rural homes and churches to strikingly decorated mansions and public buildings-showcase the distinctive elements of Greek style and provide ideas for incorporating that style into today's homes. 458 photographs, 445 in full color, 9 5/8 x 11" DIMITRIS PHILIPPIDES is an architect, urban planner, and a professor at the School of Architecture of the National Technical University in Athens. He has written extensively on Greek traditional and modern architecture and planning.
