The book covers one of the most dynamic periods in the course of European and American structural art, during which the foundations of modern architectural theory were developed, new structures were discovered, the centres of Europe’s great cities were extensively remodelled and new ones were created. At the same time, the new social and economic conditions following the industrial revolution and new technologies were followed by a heavy reflection on art and gradually appeared, together with many new types of buildings, new rhythms, which, at the beginning of the 20th century, resulted in completely new forms. Knowledge of the facts of this period, both in the general theoretical reflection and in the field of application, is an essential tool for understanding the evolution of architecture, which will lead to the emergence of modern creation.

This book tells the fascinating history of the Byzantine Palace of Mistras, erected in the mid-13th century and later expanded to become the seat of the Byzantine governors. From the mid-14th century it was the seat of the Despots of Mistras, and the administrative centre around which commerce and culture flourished during the final phase of the Byzantine Empire. The palace reached its final form with the extensions made at the beginning of the 15th century; it was abandoned in the 18th century and decayed into a three-storey ruin until our times. These ruins, which are described in detail, were investigated, and documented in an extensive photographic archive, leading to a plan for the Palace's restoration according to its original form. The organisation of the restoration work, the techniques employed and the structural details of the building are discussed here in great detail, revealing the Palace in its restored form. English language edition. More than 900 illustrations, many in colour.
