Tomorrow I'll be giving my first presentation at the Cyprus Institute about my research on the Walled City of Nicosia. I'll begin by showing a few lenses through which Nicosia could be experienced as a unified capital full of vibrant heritage rather than as the "Last Divided Capital in Europe" (The diagram in the flyer above shows a few different 'lenses' that I will mention). Then, I will focus on the moat surrounding the walls (orange in the above diagram) as one particular element of architectural heritage that physically unites the city, yet today lies fragmented and ignored.
When I get some more time, I will post about a few of the lenses as well as my arguments about the moat.
