| Content Summary | The present day landscape is intended to be not only the point of view we watch nature, but also the result of climate and morphotectonic processes through time. Actually it is considered one of the important environmental and cultural issues of society and the central criteria in the urban design. Sustainable architecture, which uses landscape characteristics as well as nature protection, requires both a creative and a scientific approach as composed contribution. Strategies to develop the localities that constitute the coastal areas in the settlements Sisi and Milatou Beach in Eastern Crete, have been the focus of local society for the last years. A major focus of present paper is the localisation of elements that forms the character and structures the dynamic of individual spaces in this area, following detailed data evaluation, aiming at the attribution of protection, prominence and integration rules of natural landscape in the life and prospects of structured space. The two coastal settlements were developed according to the existing geological map on marls and marly limestones of Pliocene age and partly on limestones of Tripolis Zone of Cretaceous-Upper Eocene age, that shaped tectonic horst in the area and determined the morphotectonic relief. The detailed geological mapping following the detailed topographic mapping with simultaneous collection of tectonic data and description of depositional lithofacies, allowed the possibility to include the morphotectonical data in the new planning and in the architectural design for the reformation of coastal foreheads in the two settlements. The obvious rotational fault fragments predominate in the asymmetrical troughs. The action of those faults has additionally controlled the spatial distribution of the local sedimentary deposits, namely mass flows, stratified breccias and breccio-conglomerates, and built the majority of coastal foreheads, which are similar to the stratigraphic succession of “Prina Complex”. This new insight into rotational fault fragments suggests a novel approach to the development of an architectural solution, which elevates the geological background and engages the dynamics of space in new states of balance. The long term geological processes become part of the architectural thought and demonstrate capacity to interact with contemporary design theories. | en |
