'It took not a third party but a second party, Stefanos that is, to reveal to the first party, me, what this somewhat ridiculous project concerning the temple on the island is all about. Through his ability to explain, a rare skill and one to be awarded the highest respect, he has brought forth a literary tour de force.' -Michael Webb, Architect, founding member of Archigram 'This highly original book provides a deep perspective into seeing the screen as an ontologically unique element for the field of architecture. It provides a historically grounded, thought-provoking architectural logic of perspective that produces for the reader an intersectional (image) space unlike anything we have seen before.' -Richard Koeck, Professor and Chair in Architecture and the Visual Arts at the University of Liverpool, UK. 'In this book of rare originality Roimpas develops a rich interpretation of how the screen has become a constitutive element of architecture. At home in the Renaissance as much as in contemporary art and philosophy, the author offers a captivating account of the screen’s architectural potential.' -Maximilian Sternberg, Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge, UK.
