This book provides a retrospective on the main periods of Greek architecture, starting from Neoclassicism and Eclecticism and concluding, through the movement for a return to the roots and the dissemination of modernism prior to the war, with the latest inquiries into the character of Greek architecture.

At the same time, it traverses the ideological currents that characterize modern Greek culture in each period, tracking their distortion over time and how they ultimately translate into architectural theory and practice.
