Beyond the impressive architecture of the international modern movement that marked Greece in the '30s, there are other expressions of "modernity" in contemporary Greek architecture.
These, through their pluralism, equally claim our interest, as they also address the constant demand for modernity in local terms. Greek architecture in the 20th century is characterized by impressive dynamism, as it attempts to assimilate major international trends while simultaneously presenting a modern art that is tied to tradition and the needs of the local context.
This ongoing oscillation and creative reassembly between the international spirit and local character is expressed through the search for "modernity" in Greek architecture, which has undergone many striking transformations in its efforts to adapt to new conditions each time.
By selecting, presenting, and evaluating "modern" works, this book documents captivating changes and offers an unconventional image of contemporary Greek architecture.
