Bamiyan Cultural Centre, Bamiyan, (IR) TYPE / CULTURAL PHASE / COMPETITION ENTRY YEAR / 2014 STATUS / MENTIONED AUTHORS / ANTONIOS ASMPACH ATHANASIOS CHRYSOMALLIS - (LEAD ARCH) KIMON LOUIZIS - (ARCHITECT) ORGANISED BY / UNESCO AREA / 20.000 m2 EMPLOYER / OFFICETWENTYFIVEARCHITECTS
The Bamiyan valley has been a crossroad of civilisations and their activities for thousands of years. The Bamiyan cultural centre should lean on this multicultural past, arise beyond conflict and become a social space, connect with the rest of the world. The new building includes the spirit of the cultures that shaped the essense of Bamiyan. The Macedonian distant past, the silk road and the connection to the Buddhist and Hindu culture, along with its Islamic past and present should blend and become keystones to support the bright future. In this project, several elements of this shared heritage have been used. Architectural forms or artifacts, symbols, letters and imagery in obvious or subtler forms and expressions.
Porto Pool Promenade, Porto, (PR) TYPE / PROMENADE PARK PHASE / COMPETITION ENTRY YEAR / 2014 STATUS / MENTIONED AUTHORS / ANTONIOS ASMPACH SEMINA PAPADOPOULOU - (ARCHITECT) KIMON LOUIZIS - (ARCHITECT) CRHYSA KECHAGIA - (ARCHITECT) ORGANISED BY / CTRLSPACE AREA / 10 HECTARES EMPLOYER / OFFICETWENTYFIVEARCHITECTS
Focusing on Porto’s variety of activities, people spend a lot of time outdoors, affecting the usage of public spaces. Standing next to the historic Luis I Bridge this proposal aims to be a new place of public gathering enriched with events and atmospheres. The atmospheres arise by the city and its users. Relations are translated to fragments creating the proposal’s form. The evolution of the design takes into consideration the people of Porto and promotes swimming. At the same time the design aims to raise awareness about the usage of Douro river. Using the site’s potential and topography, the architectural language of the proposal evolves by the surroundings in a harmonic way.
Events Tracking down city’s activities
Create Fragments Extend city’s activities to the site By giving the opportunity to touch the river and swim next to it, the design aims to create a new relationship with the water. The final outcome gives a flexible space ready to accept Porto’s locals and tourists, a new attraction with 24h programs, open to day/night winter and summer.

The exit from the wing brings the visitor back to hope and optimism. As emotions progress from grief to happiness, the visitor exits the monument following the footsteps of the victims on the landscape keeping alive their memory. The geometry of the landscape relates to a naturla flow which determines movement and stance of the visitors. The exterior creates shells to accomodate necessary facilities and buildings. The natural habitat comes as a reminder of how vulnerable the human essense is , Creating a dialogue between the monument and the river of the landscape allows the tide to flood and reshape it.

Green is the new black TYPE / URBAN INSTALLATION YEAR / 2014 STATUS / COMPETITION ENTRY / CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AUTHOR / ANTONIOS ASMPACH VIT FORMAN LOCATION / TøYENPARKEN, OSLO, NORWAY AREA / 40m2
A birch tree is enclosed inside a black metal structure. Passersby can see, but cannot touch it. They cannot touch it because it is protected. This act of protection is translated into the installation that we propose for Tøyenparken. We choose the tree which stands on 59.918727, 10.774664. Aim is to create a continuity of different experiences. Firstly, by using the height of the cubic installation (10m) we provide an easyto-see spot. The public space around the tree is reconfigurated turning the installation into a meeting point, which drags attention day and night. By getting closer to the installation, the user explores what’s inside the box. The visual connection between tree and user is desired in order to give to the installation a little taste of interactivity. During the festival, the installation stands on a strategic point close to the main entrance and the temporary night club which is set especially for the event’s days. Finally, at night the installation is lightened from the inside creating interesting lighting effects which enable gatherings and also an escape during the festival. Finally, we wanted to raise consiousness about the way that people think about sustainability.
“We often think of it as green in colour and material. This project wants to show another vision of sustainability, coloured black but being green from the inside�.

Thalassa resort is composed of three separate assemblies autonomously, with suites, which grow on one or two levels, depending on their size. The resort develops in a particularly privileged plot, standing first in front of the coast and surrounded by dense vegetation. The two swimming pools are combined with artificial creek running water. The image, the flow and the sound of the water in relationship with the green and colorful flowers are designed in order to create a quiet environment, ready to welcome and accommodate the visitor.
PROJECT ON SITE
GORGO, ARPE, DREPANE, SHARKI RESTAURANT The three building complexes, ‘Gorgo’ in the South, ‘Arpe’ in the East and ‘Drepane’ in the West. Among them, flows the small river, which connects the two pools, following the North-South axis of the plot. ‘Gorgo’, offers six single-storey suites and six more in the first level. Each suite offers a living room with small kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. They are designed to accommodate up to four people and all have views to the pools and the sea. The ‘Arpe’ has four suites on the ground floor, similar to the ’Gorgo‘, capable of accommodating up to four people. Five more suites develop at two

levels (first floor and attic) and are designed with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room with kitchenette, so to accomodate up to six guests. All suites offer views both to the pools and the sea. At the northern end of ‘Arpe’, next to the big pool and beach bar, we designed the ‘Sharki’, restaurant,serving guests and external customers, as well as the need for food at the beach bar. In the same building and in contact with ‘Sharki’ we find the reception area of the resort. The ‘Drepane’ has six suites on the ground floor and six more two-level lofts upstairs,following the same concept. Again, all suites have views of the pools and the sea.
