Santorini and the modern architecture affair

Abstract

Santorini is a surprising place. Tourists attracted to the island want to spend their holidays here. But people don’t expect to find here examples of modern architecture. In oposition to many great cities in the world, the history of the island is not based on wars, economic growth or political decisions but on volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. In such dangerous geo-climate, due to the influence of natural conditions and poverty, extraordinary buildings were created. They have become extremely modern and timeless. Author considers the architectural elements of buildings on the island, which lead to the above mentioned conclusions. It is impossible to find here architecture of Modernism but architetecture of simplicity, rationality, modernity and eternity.
