Freedom Square The design for the redevelopment of the Eleftheria’s square was based on some simple principles . The proposal was designed taking into account three factors , functionality , streaming traffic and harmonize with the urban environment . The demarcation of the seven corridors crossing the square give freedom of choice to visitors while the monument stands in the middle . The variety of materials used in the construction of the corridors and the individual structures, match those of the city’s new coast line and the urban’s environment. The large sunshade in the middle of the square accommodates the café and the five smaller offer shading and accommodation. Benches have been placed on the side of Niki’s Avenue so you have a view to the sea . Terraces exist at several points near the corridors . From the side of Metropoleo’s street bricked short walls operate as small waterfalls to reduce the noise of traffic and buses . Also, the structure comprises three infopoints, two small pavilions , an artificial pool and redesigning of the bus stops .

TITLE THE EFFECTS OF THE PRINCIPLES OF CONVENTIONAL AND BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN ON HOUSE FORMATION METHODOLOGY This thesis is a research into the planning differences between diverse types of design, bioclimatic and conventional, in the housing sector. It studies the factors and the parameters relating to each separate type of design and how they affect the composition and morphology of the houses. The first chapter concerns the bioclimatic design. There is a brief documentation of bioclimatic systems followed by a design study and the organisation of faces (sides) and floor-planning of the houses. The second chapter is an analysis of conventional design respectively, describing the organisation and composition through the conventional study criteria. Then, follow examples of bioclimatic and conventional houses, accompanied by illustrations and floor-plans so that the differences between them can be identified more easily. Finally, chapter four contains the conclusions. This research paper aims to document any differences that may exist in the composition and form of the houses, so that the reader can easily make the distinction between a conventional and a non-conventional house.
CONCLUSIONS Studying the selected examples, we conclude that the architects’ purpose was to find the best possible solution and compromise between the functionality of the house, its aesthetics, the architectural result, and energy saving. Some architects design according to the bioclimatic principle, and then try to deliver a balanced architectural composition on their construction, while others design the desired architectural composition, based on the functionality and the needs of the final user. When it comes to bioclimatic residences, architectural composition either stems from the bioclimatic design, or in other cases, bioclimatic design simply gets integrated in the architectural composition. In each case however, we observe that the bioclimatic residences can be simple structures, that do not damage the architecture of the building; on

the contrary, they enrich it with added architectural elements, the incorporation of which on the housing construction comprises a great challenge for the architect. In all cases, the architects try to find a balance between the architectural composition and the integration of bioclimatic systems in these dwellings. In some cases, the architects achieve the right balance and in others, they lean towards one of the two parameters, thus operating at the expense of the other (parameter). Therefore, we understand that all this has a direct effect on the organisation and the form of the floor-plan. The systems work as limitations, forcing the floor-plan to orient itself in a specific way, and the interior spaces to be arranged according to energy benefits –e.g. in cold climates, the living room is placed where we find the southern openings of the house, so that there is better thermal comfort. The faces (sides) of the house are affected by the position of the openings, according to the climate of the area, and according to the materials that differ from the conventional constructions, because they are ecological in their majority, and /or they may present inconsistencies / variations in their shade and colouring. When it comes to conventional houses, things are simpler as we are not presented with the restrictions of the bioclimatic systems. The architect is freer to experiment with shapes, sizes and textures. The shape of the floor-plan is derived from the proper functionality and the users’ needs. Emphasis is placed on the daily lives of the users, on how they move through the space, and so, the arrangement of the interior of the house is done accordingly. E.g. in the case that the living room is used for many hours during the day from its users, it usually gets placed in a central area on the floor-plan so that it grants direct access from all other spaces. Also, we can surmise from all the examples that conventional design gives greater gravity on the aesthetics of the faces (sides).
According to the above mentioned design criteria, it becomes evident which house follows the bioclimatic or the conventional principles.

3 Apothiki 8 The idea is to reuse an old warehouse in the harbour of Thessaloniki and turn it into an Architecture Museum. The latter will display the historical and contemporary architecture and also it will become a cultural centre for the city. The warehouse’s use of storage shipping containers triggered the idea of spatial boxes. This kind of structure appropriately responds to the demands of a museum, providing flexibility, space saving, flow of movement and multi functionality. The museum contains permanent and temporary collection halls, a ticket office, a museum shop, a cafÊ, a seminar and projection room, storage space and a wc. There was an intension to expand the inner life of the building to its exterior using similar forms and colours, adding shelters, benches, sculptures and eco-friendly materials. This particular design also makes the structure to blend in harmony with the surrounding environment.
