PROJECT CALENDAR 2016

For 2016, the theme of the municipal calendar is the Mykonian windmill as it evolved into a widespread image identified with Mykonos, as a symbol of the Aegean throughout the globe.
The monthly pages display original black & white photographs from the Benaki Museum archive, as well as colour photographs by Vangelis Pelekis. The introductory pages contain a brief history of the windmill and a detailed description of its structure and mechanism.
As the mayor of Mykonos K. Koukas states in his preface, ‘the Mykonos windmills are a significant local monument. We intend to protect and promote it further as the windmills represent a powerful and enduring symbol, a reminder of our history as well as a reference point to our direction towards the future’.
The calendar consists of a triangular card base, upon which the pages are hinged with a white metal spiral. The pages are designed and cut in a right triangular shape, reflecting the shape of the windmill’s sales. Inserted between each month, there are pages with the local feast days, decorated with drawings by Japanese architectural students.
