Its capacity to resist harsh climatic and topographic circumstances has been improved and adjusted through time and seems today close to perfection. The white-washed Cycladic House has become iconic to the image of Greece through the construction of national and tourism narratives. What happens when an architect steps into this process of anonymous transmission of skills? In 1966 music composer, architect, and engineer Iannis Xenakis articulated a response to this tradition and designed, from his base in Paris, a holiday house on the island of Amorgos while choosing to remain absent throughout the construction process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__information\" style='box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 40px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: \"Akzidenz-Grotesk Pro\"; font-size: 18px;'\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__information__inner\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__information__inner\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eAuthor: Hulya Ertas et al.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__information__inner\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003ePublisher: Kyklada Press\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__information__inner\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003ePages: 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__information__inner\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eMaterial: softcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: \"Akzidenz-Grotesk Pro\"; font-size: 18px;'\u003eISBN: 9789464202823\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basheer Graphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533847097556,"sku":"9789464202823","price":20.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/7032\/products\/100560-3-400x0-c.jpg?v=1710733989","url":"https:\/\/www.basheergraphic.com\/products\/the-architect-is-absent","provider":"Basheer Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
