diploma thesis
Balkan modernity was always out of kilter because of this total disconnect between a human-populated land and another land, for which nobody felt any responsibility even though they were dependent upon it. In addition to the legal territory there was a real territory, a ghost territory where the local sources of wealth (lignite, water, wheat, grain) were located. We focused on the ghost territories -Axios river, Imathia plain, Vegoritida lake and Amyntaio lignite mines- and tried to activate them through the continuous train cycle.

Axios Station: Vertical Phragmites Park 40°41’39.2”N 22°41’33.6”E Chalkidona, Thessaloniki, central Macedonia, Greece
Locomotiva intersects the wetland of Axios river, an extensive meadow with aquatic vegetation and bird populations, plentiful of grain crops. The extensive agricultural activities near the river and the industrial and municipal waste pollute Axios. All these contribute to the development of the aquatic weed of phragmites. Phragmites metabolizes water, since it feeds itself on the polluting load.

We designed a vertical platform, a park, that parasitizes on the abandoned railway bridge. The platform examines how the parts of a body exist and work together during the breathing process or the alliances of species that contribute to the recycling of water. The evolution of the park depends on the coexistence of the local species with the visitors-passengers.

Vegoritida: Floating Station 40°46’38.0”N 21°46’26.6”E Amyntaio, Florina, western Macedonia, Greece
The technological development of the railway influenced the surface morphology of the lake. Essentially, a lower layer of rocks emerged and created a limestone slope, where a certain species of vegetation developed. In order to create an access to the lake, we designed a cable car of the parent railway.
The cable car connects the railway stop of Vegoritida with the artificial island in the lake. During the visitors’ stay in the floating structure, visitors can observe, through a transparent floor, a genetic reservoir in the making, the desalination and parasitization of micro-organisms, plants and smaller fish.

Railway lines are often built to serve industrial development. The railway junction of Amyntaio, was serving various steam power stations and is connected to the two main lignite mine areas. The amyntaio-Kozani railway branch has ceased its operation today, as the lignite deposits have been reduced and subsequently the deindustrialization of the area was decided.
In the atmosphere of Amyntaio, flying ash (a by-product of burning lignite) is found in high quantities. We investigated the possibility of recycling the gaseous waste of lignite combustion plants. The material is first deposited or collected from the atmosphere, stored and pelletized so that it can be transported to eventually be transmuted into a non-toxic material.

Index of Echoes: copies, replicas, counterfeits, ersatz The philosophical context on which our essay is exploring the artistic copy, is mainly drawn from the work of Derrida and Benjamin. We have diverted this philosophical framework, creating a new vocabulary that helps us interpret contemporary works of art.

research thesis
We studied interpretative historical sources and as a prime example of a place, we used throughout the research, the art museum. At the same time, we enriched this vocabulary through the artworks and references. We’ve made examples of reports based on the context we’ve defined. We created a website that hosts topics, concepts, examples of copying as an artistic practice.

Fixes, Fluxes, Futures: A third landscape community research center The area between the embankments of the railways and the urban fabric is a privileged area of receptivity to the big works of the third landscape. We borrowed the term third landscape to describe the urban space’s mediation between people, objects, natural species and built environments . The lot of operation is close to Thessaloniki’s railway station. As soon as it is observed , it becomes a field of empirical experiments, thanks to its biodiversity. This spatiotemporal condition was considered friendly for the design of a community research centre for the third landscape that aims to disperse similar centers, with the promotion of the neighbouring railway network. We find that these complicated ecosystems can assemble new and unexpected forms of beauty.

As part of “100 Years of WOMEN Study” at the Vienna University of Technology, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Austria, from 16 May to 16 June 2019 the Platform for Arguments presented manifold speeches and performances addressing the following questions:
- What new thinking and action does society need in order to break up crusted power structures and thereby re-establish new shared values? - What can “female thinking and acting” (regardless of gender) contribute? Do we need a new form of feminism?

Flowing Structuralism
Flowing Structuralism: IoAT Travelling Workshops: Flowing Structuralism: from Design to Fabrication Using as a reference the ongoing evolution of the ‘Endless House’ of Frederick Kiesler, we explored the application potentials of computational design techniques, structural analysis and fabrication processes. We design a self supported freeform shell complex using freeform design strategies and compositional techniques by means of algorithmic modeling (Grasshopper). These geometries were structurally analyzed with FiniteElementMethods (Karamba 3D) and optimized in terms of their structural performance. We synthesized the results in both digital and physical fabrication processes and modeled a series of architectural prototypes.

“Archaeology reveals for architecture a form of making based on reconstructive practice whose connection to the past is not, therefore, solely predicated on quasi-mysterious canons of ancient form-making and monographic histories but in addition makes available evidence based practices (excavation, assemblage, find). But the reliance of mainstream archaeology upon empirical evidence to the exclusion of more speculative reconstructive “design”, should not replace the playfulness central to conventional design disciplines. ” 3d models made from drawing fragments
