Description and Table of Contents
Description
The work of Dimitris Pikionis was a major influence on the formulation of contemporary Greek architecture. From his pioneering modernist houses of the 1920s and early 1930s to his most outstanding achievement, the landscaping of the Acropolis site in the 1950s, he consistently strove for an original and relevant modern interpretation of the classical spirit and popular architecture of his country. This publication traces his significant contribution as an architect, artist and teacher through a wide range of essays and a visual presentation of his buildings and projects.
