PELION. GREEK TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE.
Published by Melissa Pub. House, Athens, 1988
Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First English Edition. Wraps (PB) in near fine condition with some light cover wear. Copiously illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Text in English. Modern Pelion's twenty-four villages retain traditional Pelian architecture and construction, with stone buildings made out of expertly carved local grey, blue, or green slate and red clay. They are built on terraces on the slopes and offer stunning vistas of the surrounding slopes and the sea. Houses are usually multi-storied and feature the characteristic Pelian oriel construction, with tall windows and abundant painted ornamentation. Pelian tradition calls for three-level houses, with the ground floor used for work (tools, kitchen, storage, washing, weaving), the middle floor used for socializing (common rooms), and the top floor for private rooms (bedrooms). 88 pages with bibliography, and glossary.
