From the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus to the National Library
and the University of Athens, this volume examines both the
aesthetic design and cultural/social functions of 61 noted
architectural landmarks throughout the nation of Greece. Art
historian Janina K. Darling discusses how each structure or project
was designed and built, and provides a detailed yet accessible
description of architectural elements. Darling's entries combine an
architectural reading with the larger context of the region's
cultural history. An introductory essay, glossary, geographic index
and subject index add to this vastly interesting volume. The
Architecture of Greece is the first release from Greenwood's
"Reference Guide to National Arhcitecture" series.
