The work deals with anonymous architecture within the urban planning context, as well as in the built environment of rural or semi-urban communities.
The author completed the composition of the work after many years of field research, documentation, and study of "anonymous" Greek architectural cases or ensembles, as well as their photographic and/or design representation.
The initial, brief yet comprehensive bibliographic chronicle introduces us to the concept and semiotics of anonymous architecture, in contrast and dialogue with official/named architecture.
Furthermore, it defines the historical context, identifies temporal, historical, and ideological transitions from traditional and "popular" to anonymous architecture, while simultaneously codifying the study frameworks.
The presentation of characteristics of anonymous architectural works brings to light a society of deprivation, where the morality of material and resource economy prevailed.
Finally, with the dominance of concrete from 1920 onward, the transition to mass architecture and forms of the contemporary anonymous architectural environment is marked.
An innovative approach to anonymous buildings, shaped by the needs of everyday life, while being in constant dialogue with works of named architecture.
