The International Institute for Restoration and Preservation Studies is accepting applications (deadline May 1) for this thoughtful exploration of the history, preservation and conservation issues facing the city of Athens, organized around a series of lectures and visits led by some of the top Athenian archaeologists, architects, historians, conservators and planners who have been dealing with the problem of surveying, planning and preserving monuments and cultural heritage in the midst of a growing modern city. The faculty of our program includes internationally renowned scholars, such as Dr. Manolis Korres, who was Chief Architect on the Acropolis Restoration Project, who will be leading lectures and visits to the Acropolis area, as well as Dr. Fani Mallouchou Tufano, an expert on the history of restoration and was director of the Documentation Office of the Acropolis Restoration Service (recently president of “EUROPA NOSTRA”).
