Based on the experience and knowledge gained from the research and the participatory restoration project in the underground settlement of Agrilia, an openly available handbook was created, for the dry stone structures of Therasia and Santorini and the use of building materials made of lime and the local volcanic tephral, theran earth.
The handbook was developed in the framework of the project “Under the Landscape: Participatory interventions for the protection and promotion of the man-made and natural environment of Therasma”, as part of the programme “Innovative actions with citizens”, founded by the Green Fund.
