Abstract: While working out an architectural research on a quarter of buildings called the "Courtyard of Miracles" in Athens, the Directorate of Restoration of Modern and Contemporary Monuments revealed and studied certain 19th century methods of environmental cooling, heating and insulating the houses. Therefore, the Restoration Service faces a double challenge: it has to preserve the traditional ways of environmental architecture and propose contemporary methods of maintaining the thermal balance, taking into account the re-use of the whole quarter as a museum. New suggestions should not offend the traditional ones, but on the contrary they should bring them out.
