Resumen: "Nineteenth-century urban architecture in Greece took European classicism as its starting point - but the style was cultivated and developed in the shadow of its incomparable models, the Classical monuments on the Acropolis." "The outcome was unique. The Neoclassical architecture formulated in Athens, the reborn Greek capital, displayed exceptional quality and lasting application." "In addition to Athens, many cities and towns throughout Greece followed the same architectural trend, expressed in the form of either Neoclassicism or late historicism. The urban landscape that emerged in Greece through the early twentieth century includes buildings that are remarkable both architecturally and artistically. Today, they attract an intense and growing interest." --

The establishment of the Modern Greek state in the late 1820s, after four centuries of Ottoman rule, marks a crucial advance in the long history of the Greek nation. Inspired by their new sense of nationalism, the Greeks turned to their own rich architectural heritage - the physical ruins of whose glories stood all around them - for inspiration in building the towns and cities of the new Greek state. The development of this Neoclassical architecture in Greece had distant roots in the Enlightenment and the climate of Western humanism - including a predilection for the ancient world that pervaded eighteenth-century European thought.

Library Journal Review

Once Greek territories were no longer part of the Ottoman Empire, Greek Revival architecture fiercely took hold throughout Great Britain, northern Germany, and much of the United States from the early 1800s on, and its strength derived chiefly from associations with national identity and democracy. Rarely do architectural historians explore the presence of the Greek Revival on Greek soil, however; nor do they consider the effect of the broader arc of Neoclassicism on the urban landscape of modern Greece. Kardamitsi-Adami and Biris (both architecture, National Technical Univ. of Athens) perform that service, beginning with an analysis of the grammar of Classicism before moving to its permutations in some of the more eccentric examples of architecture in late 19th- and early 20th-century Greece. Also central is the application of Classicism to urban design, and here the authors ably interweave social and architectural history. Building descriptions are clear, concise, and sufficient in detail, although illustration captions lack dates of construction. While the photographs alone describe the buildings stunningly in their Aegean sunlight, the translation is often awkward and pedantic. Recommended for highly specialized architectural history collections only.-Paul Glassman, Hofstra Univ. Lib., Hempstead, NY (c) Copyright 2010.
