Architecture in theory and practice conventionally deals with issues of space. Yet nowadays it covers a vast field of multiple approaches, based on loans from many other disciplines. Simultaneously, the new conditions resulting from globalization have broken the ‘national’ cultural barrier in Greece, a phenomenon clearly reflected in architectural terms and their usage. The particularity of the Modern Greek language-spoken and scholarly-with its great historical depth, ongoing interaction with other languages and cultures, and inventive assimilation of influences, is also made manifest in the terminology used by Greek architecture.
