SUMMARY:The architecture and townscape seen through the eyes of the traveller’s and Archival Accounts
DESCRIPTION:The 101 introductory lesson is titled “The architecture and townscape seen through the eyes of the traveller’s and Archival Accounts”, a creative speech by the Rev. Prof. Velika Ivkovska of the International Balkan University of Skopje, which will examine the urban development of Kavala and its architecture during the Ottoman era. This event will take place on May 23 at 19.30 in the Great Club Hall.\nWEBEX:\n https://dimoskavalas.my.webex.com/dimoskavalas.my/j.php?MTID=mf43685310f785c4e4f44bbfb84b59ee4\n \nAbstract\nThe small town of Kavala placed at the geostrategic point on the Via Ignatia and the North Aegean Sea played an important role as defensive and trading port town in Ottoman times. The town inherited the unclear location of the Byzantine Christoupolis of which we have very little traces and its development by the shores in Ottoman times shaped the built environment and the surrounding landscape. Dependent on the sea and the trade routes Kavala preserved a continuity throughout the centuries under the Ottomans growing into an astonishing multiethnic and multi confessional town. Its port in the early years after the Ottoman conquest used for defensive galleys of the stretch between the island of Thasos and the mainland against pirate raids later grew to be one of the greatest tobacco trading ports on the shores of the Aegean together with the city of Thessaloniki.\nDuring its continuous live under the Ottomans the town grew from a village with less than 100 households into a town with its separate neighborhoods and shrines.  Many travelers passed by and spent time in the city. Their accounts and their artwork leave remarkable evidence of the town’s splendor. It is from their accounts and supported with existing archival documents that we follow the urban and the architectural development of the town, from its first nucleus by the shores of the sea to the neighborhoods that later develop all over the peninsula and beyond. These accounts add to the richness of not only the material, stylistic and urban narratives but also to the intangible “lifestyle” narratives.\nBiography\n \n\n \nVelika Ivkovska is an engineer architect and an assistant professor at International Balkan University (IBU) Skopje.
