The House of the Winds in Santorini
The House of the Winds in Santorini Island, Greece
Akrotiri, Greece
"This house commands a distant view towards the sea-basin of the caldera and the northern part of the island. The north wind here serves as the main design feature, since it determines the articulation of the large openings towards the view. By utilizing aerodynamic principles, the force of the wind is trapped and detracted away from the building.” 1
The individual volumes have been modelled as if dug out of soft material, a reference to the local technique of dugout subterranean structures.
