“A house big enough to fit in and a field as far as the eye can see”
In studying the Cycladic architecture of the past, we discover at least two fundamental truths.
An underground treasure
In antiquity, the marble of Paros was a blessing for the island, affording it fame and wealth. The ancient quarries of ‘Paria Lithos’ (Parian Stone) were the main reason Western European travellers began visiting the island, from the 18th century onwards.
The Art of the Minimal
Drystone walling is the art of the minimal. The art of necessity. It is the first form of recycling. A field is enclosed using nothing but its own materials. It is the art of congeniality, peacefully separating two fields, while often revealing the harmonious effort of two or more pairs of hands working together.
