Summary

A groundbreaking analysis of the Chorá of Patmos reveals its architectural heritage as a unique expression of Greek island vernacular styles. The study identifies key risks to its Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and introduces the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), a tool designed to forecast and mitigate potential developmental impacts on cultural significance. By examining urban structure, architectural typologies, and building systems, researchers provide a framework for sustainable preservation. Funded by the European Creative Europe program under the 3D Past project, this work offers actionable insights for managing future transformations while safeguarding Patmos' historical integrity.
