Cyprus 100 [most] Important Buildings, Sites and Neighbourhoods by Docomomo Cyprus

Docomomo Cyprus 2014

DOCOMOMO CYPRUS 2014

This index of the 100 (most) important - buildings, sites and neighbourhoods from Cyprus national Register was prepared in response to a call from Docomomo’s International Scientific Committee on Registers and submitted together with Cyprus chapter’s proposals for Docomomo’s new documentation strategy. Docomomo Cyprus, took this task as an opportunity to make an extended list of significant projects constructed roughly between 1920-1980. The goal was to resist focusing on single buildings and to include a sufficient number of sites and neighbourhoods throughout Cyprus, thus illustrating the impact of modern architecture in modernization processes and the shaping of built environment: from houses to factories and from simple structures to entire landscapes. Interested mostly on the time of the projects’ completion, no reference on their current condition is included: e.g. if they are demolished, altered or reused. The final index is simply organized in chronological order, to purposely avoid other types of categorizations while allowing an insight into the historical development of the Modern Movement in Cyprus. Ultimately limited to a 100 entries, this index does not claim to offer a (comprehensive) list of the most important projects in Cyprus; but it is to be considered as an “incomplete” list with some of the most important ones. Making this admission, we allow ourselves the chance to continue expanding and enriching this index in the future. The index was the result of a coordinated effort and input from many individual researchers on Cyprus modernism. Docomomo Cyprus coordinated and finalized the list and the design of this document.The various sources used for collecting material, info and images as well as individual contributors are cited below.
