For a period of two decades, it developed the hotel buildings＇ substructure, a project known as the ＂Xenia project＂. During this period, Greek architects, devoted to modernism, designed and supervised 53 hotel compounds, which spread throughout the country. Today, the Xenia Hotels are internationally recognized as part of Greece＇s modern cultural heritage, based on the simplicity, the definition of the form and the truth in materials use, besides the integration of the buildings in the natural environment, components which reveal themselves as a unique venture. This paper aims to reveal that, despite the efforts to retain the Xenia Hotels, these procedures remain incomplete. They rightly focus on architectural shells, morphological and functional standardization, proper utilization of the Greek environmental conditions, and the use of authentic local materials. However, the cultural evaluation of these settlements can only be completed by their holistic design, which also comprises their interior spaces, lightening and furniture design, all these detailed aspects that form an organic entirety and which are not included in these efforts.展开更多

To promote the green development of the economy and the society, we must look far and aim high, and we must take a holistic approach, coordinate the strategic measures in the fields of the economy, the politics, the culture, the society, the natural environment, and international cooperation, as well as emphasize the logic, the connection, and the hierarchy of different systems, then establish a synergetic mechanism of the green development so that various measures will be coordinated and brought forward to maximize the effect in the joint effort of promoting the green transformation of the economy and the society.展开更多
