- Applied ship motifs are an ongoing phenomenon of modern architecture since the 1920s. Referring mainly to Gert Kahler's semiotic study on the "Dampfermotiv", this paper analyses for the first time comprehensively the meaning of ship motifs in the Cypriot Moderne. Whereas most buildings display ship motifs just in a futuristic or decorative manner, a few connote the passenger steamer, evoking two specific metaphors: "community" and "rescue/healing".
