This photo book is an architectural reading of the town composition of Chora of Amorgos, Greece. It aims to shed light on landscape elements and urban fabric, discuss how they mutually shape one another. Perched 400 meters above the sea level, Chora of Amorgos - one of the most beautiful Cycladic islands - reveals itself through winding alleys, whitewashed houses, vaulted passages, and domed churches. It is a settlement shaped over centuries in dialogue with its rugged landscape. By bringing together first-hand impressions, photographs and notes, the book explores not only the town’s structure and architectural details, but also sheds light on the timeless principles that underlie its form. The author reflects on how vernacular buildings arise from limited yet carefully chosen materials, modular dimensions and proportions, producing settlements of striking coherence. These lessons resonate with Bernard Rudofsky’s vision of Architecture Without Architects and the modernist fascination with the white cubic forms of Mediterranean towns. Chora of Amorgos emerges here as more than a picturesque village: It is a living record of how communities, across generations, inscribed their way of life into the fabric of a place — an architecture at once modest, enduring, and, deeply in harmony with nature. The author Ali Kural is an architect and a practicing urban designer with degrees from Middle East Technical University and Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
