Introductory note concerning landscape and cultural heritage
Konstantinos Moraitis, Architect,Associate Professor School of Architecture NTUA We may accept, as parts of cultural heritage, all systems of social relations, inscribed through history or transmitted through tradition, as well as material constructions created by societies, in addition to their natural environment and the general substratum of place, where all previous elements exist in a state of reciprocal osmosis. We describe this ‘overall space’ as Landscape. We shall further comment that in modern and contemporary Greek example, for special reasons concerning western history in general, all previous constitutional elements of civilization and culture coexist in an interesting state of correlation.
