Join us for the book launch and discussion on the book Kalamoti: A Medieval Village of Chios. Kalamoti combines architecture with history, highlighting current issues surrounding the preservation of cultural heritage. The Panayotis & Effie Michelis Foundation has entrusted Kalamoti’s representation to the architect and photographer Yiorgis Yerolymbos, whose images reveal the harmony between landscape, architecture, and the people who inhabit them. The discussion will be between Yiorgis Yerolymbos, political scientist Stathis Kalyvas and Professor Roman Gerodimos.The historical context and development of the region over the centuries are comprehensibly described by the island’s former mayor, architect Manolis Vournous, who presents the reader with the necessary background and raises topical issues.The book serves as an occasion to reignite a substantive discussion within the scientific community and in society at large regarding the aesthetics of historic villages and their impact on the past and the foreseeable future. The book will be available to purchase on the day. Image credit: Yiorgis Yerolymbos
