Monumenta vs Digital Elements

Welcome to the application “MONUMENTA - Buildings of Athens”. Here, you will find a significant number of the buildings built in Athens during the period 1830-1940. The buildings are preserved and located in the seven municipal districts of Athens. The photos and the information invite you to visit them and tour the historic neighbourhoods. The app was created as part of the “Documentation and Enhancement of 19th and 20th century buildings in Athens” program, carried out by MONUMENTA, a civil non-profit company for the protection of natural and architectural heritage in Greece and Cyprus, during the period 2013-2016.

Euclid’s Elements stands as the most widely read mathematical treatise of all times. Delements is an innovative, digital and interactive edition of this monumental book, in modern Greek. By combining geometry, history of mathematics, as well as digital technology, Delements aims to provide high school students with a unique opportunity: (a) to reconstruct Euclid’s demonstrations through interactive diagrams; (b) to delve into historical insights about ancient mathematics; and (c) to cultivate software development skills. Delements includes: (a) The ancient Greek text of Euclid’s Elements from the edition by J. L. Heiberg. (b) Interactive diagrams for many propositions of Euclid's Elements. (c) Selected recordings of the ancient text as well as other audio-visual material. (d) Ideas for the pedagogical utilization of thematic units from the secondary education’s curriculum. This application is part of the project ‘Digital Elements’, which is supported by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.) under the 3rd Call for ‘Science and Society’: Nodes of Research, Innovation, and knowledge diffusion. (F.N.: 2183). It is hosted by the Laboratory for the Electronic Processing of Historical Archives within the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. It is based on REPOX and GeoGebra.
