Neoclassical Athens of Paul M Mylonas

For more than forty years the late architect, professor at the School of Fine Arts of Athens and academician, Paul Mylonas (1915-2005) systematically photographed and drew both neoclassical as well as more humble domestic buildings of Athens. This bilingual edition, edited by Maro Kardamitsi-Adami, Professor Emerita at the National Technical University, and Alexandra Karageorgou, a close collaborator of the late professor Mylonas, highlights the drawings, photographs and texts of the distinguished architect, enhanced through the results of resent research. Together they convey an image of what was then a new capital city, a place humming with a vast range of activities, one which had thrown itself with unusual zeal and notable good taste into the stimulation of authentic architecture. Published jointly by the Academy of Athens and Kapon Editions The text is presented in both Greek and English
