Next TIMS Online Presentation will be on the 31st of May at 19:00 hour (Berlin time)
Attica’s rapid development has created the misconception that few water and wind-powered installations existed in the region. Olga’s doctoral research aimed to identify, document, and map these structures, enriching the understanding of Attica’s technological history and cultural heritage.
Using historical maps, texts, images, and oral testimonies, the study analysed their distribution, uses, and significance. Fieldwork and documentation also recorded related place names and landmarks, concluding with proposals for preserving and promoting Attica’s pre-industrial technology.
Olga Lekou, is an architect with a Master's in monument restoration and a PhD from the School of Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens. Her research, including her undergraduate, Master's, and doctoral theses, has focused on the restoration and documentation of mills. Since 1996 she has been studying Greek mills and has done much fieldwork and research on them. She has been a member of TIMS since 1997.
