The building owned by the Society for the Protection of Prespa (SPP) is located on the riverside road of the settlement of Agios Germanos and its construction dates back to the third decade of the 20th century. It is a typical example of the transition in the architecture of Prespa during the interwar period.
The video includes details of its architecture, its structure, as well as a representation of the building’s function during its initial phase.
The video was created through the research project “Analysis of the traditional architecture of Agios Germanos Prespes and its visualization by digital means” of the Department of Architecture and Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in collaboration with the SPP in the framework of the Poliprespa project, implemented with a donation from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
