2019, Diploma Thesis | Grade: 10 In collaboration with: Zoi Psimmenou

The subject of my diploma thesis was the design of a Rehabilitation Center in Crete. Our main goal was the redefinition of healthcare facilities as therapeutic environment that is able to benefit the patients’ body and spirit through architecture. For this purpose, the new building aimed to provide an alternative experience to its user through non-sterile therapy spaces, social places, spots ideal for meditation and self-concentration and direct contact with nature. The design process began with the intensive research of rehabilitation and the needs that it demands spatially. Up next was the analysis of the location and the site. Based on the previous information, we proceeded to the composition of the building program and the synthetic resolution of the project.

The result of our efforts led to the design of an underground building that respects the beautiful landscape of Crete. The structure of the building remained clear throughout the design process and was consisted of three sections; the body, which contained all the physiotherapy treatments, as well as ergotherapy; the water, where the harmed body meet the hydrotherapy; and the spirit, where patients receive psychological, social and spiritual help. Finally, another main section of the organisation of the building was the residential area. Taking into consideration the extended period of time that the people in rehabilitation spend inside the center, we created an relaxing and healing environment for the patients and their families.

2017, 4th year’s academic work In collaboration with: Sofia Kotsi, Alexandra Laoulakou

The theme of this project was to design a dancing school in Gazi, Athens. As for us, we chose to design a public building that stands out in the dense urban fabric of Athens and becomes a significant cultural center of the neighborhood. The main idea of this project was constituted by a large volume that contains all the necessary uses of the school and a tower for vertical circulation.

These two elements were connected through semi-transparent bridges. Under the building, a public square was created which is accessible by a monumental staircase.

Finally, the design process was completed after a semester of research of the constructive and structural details of the building.

Info-point pavilion at the New Waterfront in Thessaloniki 2017, Student architectural competition Honorable mention In collaboration with: Sofia Kotsi

In 2017, I participated at a Greek student architectural competition “Paralio sima� for the construction of small scaled pavilion in order to become an information point at the New Waterfront at Thessaloniki, Greece.

The dimensions of the construction were limited: 6m. length, 2m. width and maximum 4m. height. The information published in this kiosk were both permanent, in order to explain the new design of the waterfront, and ephemeral, for the actions that take place in the city. The materials that were allowed to use in the construction were, mainly, wood and aluminum, except for its foundation. The pavilion had to be energy-independent, low in cost, easy to maintain and respect the design of the architects for the New Waterfront.

The main idea was to create a circular movement inside the pavilion that leads the visitor smoothly from the permanent to the ephemeral information. That movement was established around a diagonal wall which organized the plan in two distinct parts. The ephemeral information were, also, placed closer to the ground, in order to be easily accessible.

In addition, one the main goals of our proposal was to create, not only an information point, but also a landmark for the New Waterfront. For that reason, a tall wall of 4m. was designed, with the bright logo of the pavilion on top of it, in order for the construction to be visible from long distance.

Last but not least, for the energy autonomy of this project, solar panels were placed on the roof of the structure.

Observatory of forest fires 2016, 3rd year’s academic work In collaboration with: Aliki Tzouvara Zoi Psimmenou

The purpose of this class was to create an observatory of forest fires designed mostly out of wood in order to learn how to design small wooden structures that are easily constructed with low cost. The difficulty of this project was to keep in mind that the observatory is placed in a forest at a high altitude and must be easily assembled and disassembled. Our proposition is composed by a cube placed on a platform. Inside the cube, a bed, a small kitchen and a bathroom is found for the firefighter’s needs. The platform, which stretch around the cube, is used for a free view of the forest. At the west facade of the construction, strips of fabrics are placed in order to protect the user from the western light. All the structure is secured at the ground with metallic and concrete foundation without the need of deep excavation.
