  • Cheers Along! Wine Is Not a New Story for Cyprus
    route2 Vouni Panagias - Ampelitis cheers along! Wine is not a new story for Cyprus. Recent archaeological excavations which have been undertaken on the island have confi rmed the thinking that this small tranche of earth has been producing wine for almost 5000 years. The discoveries testify that Cyprus may well be the cradle of wine development in the entire Mediterranean basin, from Greece, to Italy and France.

  • About Limassol
    ABOUT LIMASSOL The district of Limassol which covers the south part of Cyprus, borders with the district of Larnaca in the east, with the district of Paphos in the west, as well as with the capital Nicosia in the north. The area of Limassol is 1,393 km² i.e. 15% of the whole area of Cyprus. About 80 km of Limassol is washed by the sea. Combining its roles as the second largest city, the island's main port, the centre of the wine industry and a bustling holiday resort, Lemesos emerges as a spirited and cosmopolitan seaside town. Limassol is a lively town largely due to the character of Lemesolians, a fun- loving lot. No wonder it holds the island's two top festivals, the pre-lenten Carnival with fancy dress balls, parades and festivities and the Wine Festival in September, a wine extravaganza where wine flows freely for everyone to enjoy, courtesy of the local wineries. Limassol emerged out of the two most important ancient city-kingdoms, Amathous, to the east of the town, and Kourion to the west, both of which are being extensively excavated. The magnificent setting of the ancient Kourion Theater is used for summer concerts and theatrical productions. In the middle Ages, Limassol hosted the marriage of Richard the Lionheart with Berengaria of Navarre from whom he crowned Queen of England. Thereafter the Crusaders made their headquarters at the Square keep west of the city, known as Kolossi Medieval Castle, where they fostered the making of wines, particularly the sweet dessert wine “Commandaria” – the oldest named wine in the world.

  • Architecture As Urban Practice in Contested Spaces
    Intro Socrates Stratis Architecture as Urban Practice in Contested Spaces Introduction Through this essay we will look into the challenge of architecture to support the city commons in contested spaces by establishing relations between modes of reconciliation and processes of urban regeneration. To address such challenge, we need to look into architecture as urban practice, recognizing its inherent non-conflict-free interventional character. Architecture as urban practice in contested spaces has a hybrid character, since its agencies, modes of action, as well as its pedagogical stance, emerge thanks to a tactful synergy across material practices, such as architecture, urban design, planning, visual arts, and Information and Communication Technology. The moving project lies in the heart of architecture as urban practice, since the process of making, the agencies of the materiality of such a process, as well as the emergent actorial relations, get a prominent role. Modes of reconciliation are embedded deep into the making of by establishing platforms of exchange of designerly knowledge to support the project actors’ negotiations, and even change their conflictual postures, especially in contested spaces. By contributing to the city commons, The essay consists of three parts. Firstly, architecture as urban practice may provide we will situate architecture in different alternatives, both to dominant divisive kinds of contested spaces and show how, urban narratives and to the neoliberal urban by withdrawing from the political, it is reconstruction paradigm. The “Hands-on indirectly caught in consolidating politics Famagusta” project, which is the protagonist of division. We will, then, focus on an of this Guide to Common Urban Imaginaries agonistic approach of architecture as practice in Contested Spaces, contributes to such by unpacking its agencies, modes of action, approach, supporting the urban peace- and pedagogies.

In a 1960 referendum, the three religious groups were asked to choose to belong to either the Greek Cypriot or the Turkish Cypriot community. They opted to belong to the Greek Cypriot community. The members of all three groups, therefore, enjoy the same privileges, rights and benefits as the members of the Greek Cypriot community, including voting rights, eligibility for public office and election to official government and state positions, at all levels.

  • Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Geological Survey Department
    Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Geological Survey Department Feasibility Study and Strategic Environmental Assessment Possible Creation New Quarry Zone in Paphos District GSD/2005/06 Final Report Ecorem nv – E01/0079.040.R5 – 27/03/2006 - SH/GHE 1 TPUit-18.1E Rev1 1 PROBLEM AND OBJECTIVES Due to growing economic activities, including the growth of the tourist sector, there is an increasing demand for building materials in Paphos district. Until now, this demand is partly met by the existing quarry zone at Androlykou and partly by importing quarry products from other regions, e.g., the Parekklisia – Vasa area in the Limassol district. The reserves at the Androlykou quarry zone are expected to be exhausted within five years. Importing building materials entails a considerable environmental, social and economical impact because these materials have to be transported over long distances. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in establishing new quarry zones within the Paphos district which will cover all future demand. From a geological point of view, the northern and eastern parts of Paphos district ( FIG. 1 ) are suitable for quarrying diabase rock. However, these areas are covered by semi-natural forests that are important for biodiversity conservation. Thus, albeit new quarry zones within the Paphos district may decrease the environmental impact due to the transportation of building materials, this may endanger the ecological status of Paphos Forest. The aim of this work is to identify specific sites within the Paphos Forest that have the best potential to accommodate new mineral extraction without causing undue environmental impact. In second instance, a comparative Strategic Environmental Assessment is performed comparing the establishment of a new quarry zone in the Paphos Forest with alternative ways for meeting the demand for building materials in Paphos district.
