The study of the diploma thesis entitled "Ceramic Art Campus in Archangelos Rhodes" by students Argyrou Tsambika and Samalidou Maria and supervising professor Ms. Vyzoviti Sofia focuses on one of the most well-known and popular Greek islands, Rhodes and specifically on the Archangelos settlement. The geophysical position and the available natural resources (water source, soft soil and abundant timber) contributed to the flourishing of the ceramic art, which was closely linked to the local society, through the absorption of a significant labor force, but also through the production of products, which they are characteristic examples of domestic craft production during the last century. Lately, due to the rapid development of tourism on the island, this art has been sidelined and tends to disappear. The idea for the thesis therefore proposes the creation of a campus on the outskirts of the settlement, which combines the local traditional architecture with a modern proposal and the benefits of the revival, promotion and learning of the ceramic art. The purpose of the study is to give the locals, but mainly the visitors, an opportunity to come into contact with the simplicity of life and everyday life of the previous century, so that the memories of a reality that was the occasion for Archangelos to acquire its reputation remain alive.
