786. Acropolis from airplane



Dear Nikos,

The white building near to the bottom left corner of the
picture is the elementary school designed by Karantinos
in 1932. A brilliant example of the Modern Movement
and part of the Greek school building program of this
period, this is one of the best-known Greek buildings
of the era.

Sincerely,
R

504. Candie (Crete). Le Musee Archealogique


Dear Dimitris,

The Archaelogical Museum of Herakleion in Crete
houses the world's most important collection of Minoan
Art. Designed in 1933 as a "machine for exhibitions", it
is among the most significant buildings of European
Rationalism.

Respectfully.
R
