Description
A hands-on workshop on the relations between ancient and vernacular forms of material knowledge and sustainable models of landscape futures: The interdisciplinary team of Boulouki in collaboration with the Cyclades Ephorate of Antiquities and the French School of Athens is restoring one of the surviving vernacular farmhouses of Delos, the so-called “House” or “Village of Markos”. The restoration will make use of traditional materials and practices, and will aim to create new accommodation space for researchers and practitioners involved with Delos as a heritage site. Through this project, Boulouki initiates an interdisciplinary research around the multiple relationships between ancient and traditional ways of construction and landscape management. To launch the preliminary works of the restoration, Boulouki organised a seven-day hands-on workshop, between 20 and 26 October 2024.Through an open call, fifteen participants were selected from a broad range of disciplines, from Greece and from abroad, including five students from ETH Zurich together with their Professor Teresa Galí-Izard. The participants joined the Boulouki team and other invited experts in the preliminary works of the restoration of the buildings that comprise the farmhouse of Markos. The goal of this hands-on involvement was to uncover and map the unexpected entanglements of ancient, vernacular, and modern forms of knowledge embedded in this rural complex. Through this study, the workshop attempted to draw lessons on the sustainable coexistence with the landscape and propose solutions for the management of water, energy, and waste of the restored farmhouse.
