The funded project 'Landscapes of Leisure and Politics: The Architectural History of Tourism and Conflict in Cyprus,' funded by the Research Promotion Foundation, has launched.
This research project offers a rigorous historical and critical analysis of the architecture of tourism in Cyprus, in order to reflect on the intertwinement of tourist landscapes with multiple types of politics—specifically, social, ethnic, and environmental conflicts.
Key objectives:
- Shape contributions to the architectural history of modernism.
- Cast critical perspectives on the practice of architectural design and planning in contested areas.
- Provide new knowledge on the urban, environmental and heritage dimensions of tourism infrastructures/building.
Grant: Research Promotion Foundation, Excellence Hub, 2019-2021
Partners: University of Cyprus (Host), Technion (Israel), Boston University (USA)
Research team: Panayiota Pyla (Coordinator), Alona Nitzan-Shiftan, Sibel Bozdoǧan, Petros Phokaides, Demetris Venizelos
The project can also help reveal how ordinary people experience politics in their daily surroundings. A public square can become a meeting place, a beach can become a contested space, and a sporting venue can serve as a symbol of Slither io community identity.
This project on tourism and conflict in Cyprus is intriguing! It reminds me of fnaf 2, where the setting's dark history impacts the experience. Both explore how environments shape narratives and reveal deeper truths. Looking forward to its findings!
