About Me
In This Portfolio
Over the past fifteen years I have been academically and professionally exploring the architectural realm. I am holding a Diploma in Architecture Engineering (BSc and MSc) and a MSc in Architecture and Design (Civil Engineer in Architecture and Design). My studies in Architecture and Engineering offers me a holistic view on the objective’s technical aspects which perfect the design of the spacial experience. I have practiced in architectural offices in Greece, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. I have worked on various contexts, types of projects and phases of design; from conceptual sketching to technical drawing. I am intrigued by the concretization of the detail that, once addressed, leads to projects of tectonic nature.

Development, Lindberg Stenberg Arkitekter, 2015. Project under construction Sländan is a large triangular property in Södertälje, located between Astrabacken, Kvarnbergsgatan and Storgatan. Magnolia develops the property in three stages to include rentals and senior homes along with a large indoor parking space. The masterplan is detailed in order to allow a building height of 23 floors on the southern part of the property. The building will become a signature structure in Södertälje and will contain condominium and bottom-floor apartments. The construction of Stage 1 on the north of the property started on autumn 2016. The building volume is designed as a closed neighbourhood block with façades against all three surrounding streets. The block has 10 stairwells and a total of 441 residential apartments, divided into highly efficient 1-3 rooms with kitchen. KTH University asked for a larger number of small apartments that can be used by students and researchers. In addition to the rentals the building hosts 3 shared laundry rooms and a large amount of bicycle storage. Narrative: The plot has a dramatic height difference between Storgatan and Astrabacken. Using this difference, the two-storey parking space lays under the garden with two entrances facing the streets and one passage on each level. The parking requirement is expected to be significantly lower than the design thus the garage can help serve even future developments.
Plan
Section
Carried out in a combination of bricks and render, the development melts into the area which is dominated by industrial old brick houses and greenery. The idea was to pick up the colour scale from the surrounding buildings, but to give the new development its own identity. The light grey brick and render are contrasting the dark anthracite windows.

noise from the streets and create life in the facades, a combination of integrated in the building mass terraces and bay windows along with the balconies give variation to the facades and brake down the geometry. The apartments closest to street level are designed with French balconies with discreet glass rail. The windows have different heights, the higher with a fixed lower part and are partially arranged with a BYGGHANDLING horizontal displacement. The effect becomes a Sländan 6 vertical zig-zag pattern that breaks down the Fastighetsbeteckning scale. The low sill height raises the glass area so even the apartments with most limited facade area get enough amount of sunlight as well as it creates an extra sitting place onEK the living Hugo Löfgren 2017 04 28 Hugo Löfgren room.

Spejderhytte A Scout Cabin On The North Architectural Competition - first prize, Phoam Studio entry, June 2014. The one phase competition was referring to the construction of a new club house for the young scouts on the North of Copenhagen. Spread in a charming, green plot, the building units host the activities of 150 or more active children. Phoam won the right to build two new cabins coming to host two main halls with recreational areas, workshops and administration spaces. Narrative: To connect the interior with the outdoor space more than visually, we placed the new building units around a courtyard, Promoting the free circulation, yet assuring fast connection, the stone paths lean next to the buildings laying naturally on the grass. Sequentially, through pavements and patios, life is guided into the

very heart of the project. The core yard is home to an outdoor fire place offering the possibility of extending the activities beyond the envelope. Section
The two L-shaped one-story-high buildings are constructed in wood with a wooden column system in full accordance to the constructor´s product. The facades and the roof are dressed in dark wooden horizontal planks creating a monolithic minimal structure. Of importance is the indoor environment. Spaces dressed in wood, gently dress our bodies reflecting the Scandinavian materiality. Wood here is used unrendered, in pieces of industrial dimensions giving scale and a touch of unrifinement, yet a familiar warm feeling. The shape of the roof encountered from the inside simulates the stereotypic image of the house, the nest, the shelter. Big windows connect the protected space with the greenery inviting the outside in, into the core of activities. An elegant yet informal solution, able to embrace the creativity and geniousness, the ethos and values of scoutism.

Magassasa Dim Sum & Cocktails
Phoam Studio, June 2014 Phoam Studio designed and decorated a new restaurant in the conservative and protected Meat-packing District. It is located in the heart of Copenhagen, at Flæsketorvet, where the atmosphere is characterized by gourmet restaurants, cosy cocktail bars, happy people and culinary experiences. The Meatpacking District used to be home to Copenhagen’s meat industry businesses and still consists of three separate areas, referred to as the White, Grey and Brown “Meat City” for the dominant colour of their buildings. In recent years, it has changed into a new creative cluster with a trendy nightlife and a broad range of high quality restaurants. The area is being developed by Copenhagen Properties to contain artists, galleries, meat industries, creative and gastronomic trendsetters all blended together in the characteristic white buildings primarily from 1934. Today, the Meatpacking District in Vesterbro is one of Copenhagen’s most popular places to go out. Narrative: Here, Magasasa Dim Sum & Cocktails has hit the doors up to a unique design based on a combination of Danish and Chinese mood. The protected building with its tiled walls and floors has been spiced up with Chinese-inspired decoration. Lifting the dinning experience in a Cantonese restaurant, the open kitchen bar is celebrated by being centrally placed in space

A Perfect Date Spot Free design Innocite idea contest, Copenhagen February 2013 The title of the contest ‘Share the view’ promotes the idea of a vista point. Promotes also socialization yet in an intimate frame. A Perfect Date Spot is basically a tower where, ascending and nesting, we enjoy the scenery. Drifted away in a moment of meditative solitude or enjoying the company and affection of the other. At the beginning of time, there was a vista point made of wooden bricks. A wooden tower where strategically placed pieces would form all spatial functions; yet the balance of the structure would remain intact. In the wooden edgy interior made of perpendicular surfaces, an intimate meeting and interaction space would consist an inspiring spot for a date. A down to earth, interesting concept.
!
YOU WILL NEED: Seven axis milling robot! Construction principal
Plan +1.50 Five layers of wooden bricks
Plan +1.80 Six layers of wooden bricks
Plan +2.10 Seven layers of wooden bricks
But then... An imaginary caterpillar ate the interior of the wooden bricks pile; a surreal sculpture was born. A system of organic shaped corridors now forms the vessel, ready to host unexpected types of use. Dressing the body, reflecting its sinuousness; an interior missing any violent edge. A sensitive result more appropriate to an intimate interaction hub. The light coming from the roof and the framed view create a poetic landscape, once combined with the softness and familiarity of the wood, result to profound place making. Slightly rotating, the wooden tower reveals itself through the alley and reveals the best of view. Welcoming him who dares to enter the intrigued opening into the organic retreat; a giant wormhole. Interaction is a by product of the softness of construction. We climb up to find a sitting spot. In smoothness we nest to enjoy the moment. This meditative space can accommodate few people wanting to share their affection and intimacy. And share the view. Site Plan
The caterpillar left an entrance, a slide, a sitting spot, a skylight and a window. Where we come in, climb up, have a sit and share the view. The wooden pavilion is milled piece by piece by a seven axis milling robot, available the latest years in architecture, bright example of how technology serves engineering. The simplicity of construction gives space to the complexity of the spacial experience. Light and shadow in the cave-like interior stimulate the senses. Combined with the paradox of geometry - a sharp and edgy exterior, a comforting, receptive interior - evoke intense yet soothing emotions; in silkiness we nest.
Perspective
In the curved warm surface lays an experience for all senses. Hear and touch the wooden pillow; ascend the light showered slide; see the city. A perfect date spot is an ambient space mantled in a key place of the city. The place where we monitor the marriage of history and evolution. Once more the Scandinavian wood offers a sensuous experince. Nordic materiality addressed trough straight forward Scandinavian innovation.

Perspective Visualizations: the view towards the old town -ny havn and the view towards the Opera House
Organized by BIG, issueing a new school building complex in Vienna, Austria, submitted on November 2012, BOARD To use the location and the context of this project for a new school building on the fringes of the city of Vienna in Austria in the best possible way, we proposed a building that consists of one main building facing the so-called “Maria-Trapp-Square” and two classroom wings penetrating a school garden. The school garden accommodates several sports fields, ponds, vegetable and flower gardens, teaching terraces, a small openair theater, and a running track that cuts through the lot and doubles as a public path for pedestrians, connecting the public paths and the surrounding neighbourhood in a more direct way. To create a compact and therefore energyefficient and sustainable building with a clearly identifiable main building, the main entrance of which opens up to the square of the neighbourhood, we propose to cluster all the large common functions of the school – such as the two large sports halls, the gym, the multipurpose room, and the dining area – and stack them on top of each other. The other common areas – such as the multimedia library – are organized around these sports and recreational facilities in this main building. Together with the shared learning and lounge areas of the school’s two classroom wings, these general areas create a vertically and horizontally connected network of paths that cuts through the entire building. The building offers a high degree of flexibility with regard to the organization of all the rooms, especially in relation to the classrooms. This flexibility is ensured by a supporting structure that allows, for example, the column-free sports and recreational areas that can easily be connected with each other and function as large undivided spaces. Most of these spaces may be subdivided by transparent and partly moveable walls.While entering the school building through the main entrance at the Maria-TrappSquare, you first enter the school lobby that is part of the continuous network of paths and common areas. From this lobby area you can see directly into the glass-walled glazed dining area and the gym on the ground floor. While looking up, you even can get an insight into the two glass-walled sports halls on the upper floors. While crossing the lobby on either side, you reach the garden and the rear of the building with the two classroom wings. Either wing includes open learning areas, such as the so-called “homebases” for the different departments that are situated in its centre.

Social Organisation and Spatial Configuration in a Roma settlement Theoretical Diploma Thesis
A Chapel for Atheists Master thesis AAU, 2013 http://issuu.com/eleni.koku/docs/0106_a_ chapel_for_atheists_condense The objective is the relation between space and time and how can architecture manipulate them. Time and space structure our reality and places us in niches of our social realm, leading us to discover our intimate place in the world. Born and develloped in Rotterdam where architecture is addressed as a good, the chapel for atheists is a place where time stops as we find ourselves seduced, focused on the emotional part of architectural experience; distancing ourselves from rational thinking. Hypothesizing that architecture’s muchness lays on those soft empirical values, the thesis seeks for the way to create emptiness. This kind of sensory architecture is forgotten or neglected in modern cities. Our deep and ancient desires and needs are neglected, buried underneath layers of cultural demands. Our Western, stiff, male dominated culture is an unfriendly one towards the feminine, loose, recessive part of our existence. The chapel for atheists is develloped in an area that consists the stop by its own, a green axis with qualitative open air spaces, where horizontality dominates over the verticality of the city center. The urban void itself. Abstract mysterious elements, sitting on top and within the water pond. A no man’s land built in no man’s land. A black island in gray context; the space is defined by its own shadow, with no walls, doors and doorhandles; yet, an imagery house. In the illustrated detail, the inverted bridge leads the visitor to the shadow of the roof. Dark wood forms the walls of an open air corridor. The friendly for the touch handrail, in the proper hight for leaning, turns the contained space into place. A strong axis on the floor leads the rainwater to discharge and the sight to the darkness. Once under the roof, we climb up the staircase towards our very own piece of sky.

Construction detail of the “inverted bridge�
Physical handmade model out of steel and box cardboard
The handrail is constructed by a wooden cylindrical beam, responding to the temperature and softness of palm skin. The steps, supported by a mostly invisible concrete construction, aspire a sense of sliding and movement. The finishing layer of marble dust contributes elegance; especially during the night when the fluorescent light underneath each step, turns the staircase into a decorative element. In the hollow roof’s surfaces lays an experience for all senses. The very much present in the ever wet Dutch weather, phenomenon of the rain, takes part in the spacial experience. As it is illustrated on the next page, volumes of rainwater oozing from the roof, become a scenographic pattern as the arched gutter forms a water gate. The ever changing reflected patterns of light unfold a seductive space, simulating the patterns in the bottom of a pool. The sound of raindrops falling on the steel surface was imagined as the tones coming from a giant hang drum -a steel instrument of similar shape, that produces a metallic yet poetic sound. Mediating between man and its surroundings, architecture enhances the world experience, leading to understanding and appreciation. The roof is made from dark reflective steel, black and shinny, but still and non violent. Offering a reinterpretation of what we experience as world; a looking glass. Sound would travel through the material transforming architecture to a giant hang drum. Unfolding the mystery of time and physics. “Great architecture is silence turn into matter” [Juhani Pallasmaa]. Once answering the phenomenological questions with haptic applications, architecture becomes a timeless monument of silence. In this, not contextual but inner silence we dwell, trying to unravel the mystery of existence; in mere emptiness we recognize and embrace our mortality. In a commodified lifestyle, the crave for personal development has replaced the need for evolution of mankind. In the era of mass television as David Harvey named our times, architects segue in superficial solutions, having the means both for fast building and fast fame, breaking last century’s time barrier of after death recognition. Without questioning our motivation, which would be 15 minutes of world fame -proof that the Andy Warholian universe is raising- we, architects, offer images for the eyes, neglecting all other senses. A Chapel for Atheists is advocating an architecture of the senses; the reconsideration of phenomenology into the architectural realm. Offering a place still in time; an urban void and an architecture of the emptiness. Detail of step and handrail

AAU 2011, group project with Dániel This forces one to distinguish between what is Szakács, Helene Jensen, Jure Sadar, Signe Bech already present, what is in the making and what Skibsted and Urška Hvalica. is just a vision - or even a utopia. The objective of this project is to bridge the shores of Limfjorden creating an inhabited settlement across the fjord. What will happen when Aalborg will be bridged with Nørresundby? According to Martin Heidegger “The bridge designedly causes them [the banks] to lie across from each other. It brings stream and bank and land into each other’s neighbourhood. The bridge gathers the earth as landscape around the stream.” The bridge has an environmental impact; when bridging, something radical happens to the areas and the identities of them. The here versus there is accentuated, as the differences between the two banks become apparent. Both waterfronts maintain an unfinished appearance since they have been subjects to major changes and renovation in order to create new dynamic and recreational urban spaces.
Patterns of stranded algae, created by the water, together with the silhouette of the factory buildings, provide inspiration for the design. The water itself is the strongest feature of the site. The idea is not only to bridge the two banks but to bridge human with water. Actually, to design a journey rather than a bridge; this project is about designing a living bridge. Therefore, the liveness and usage are essential factors in able to succeed, and therefore it is the journey the most vital element in this design. Advocating that a journey starts mentally, right in the moment that the decision to travel is made, the attention was concentrated in the iconic part of the bridge. Inspired by a falling drop and recognizing the qualities of the scenery, this bridge tries to marry the joy from the interaction with the fjord with the industrialized landscape.
ITHACA As you set out on the way to Ithaca hope that the road is a long one, filled with adventures, filled with understanding. [...] Always keep Ithaca in your mind; to reach her is your destiny. But do not rush your journey in the least. Better that it last for many years; that you drop anchor at the island an old man, rich with all you’ve gotten on the way, not expecting Ithaca to make you rich. [...] And if you find her poor, Ithaca did not deceive you. As wise as you’ll have become, with so much experience, you’ll have understood, by then, what these Ithacas mean. “Ithaca”, Constantine P. Cavafy, 1911 Translated by Daniel Mendelsohn
Masterplan
What this living bridge actually is, is a connection of opposite areas, functions and qualities; a journey from one side to the other. The whole span is divided into smaller pieces with different qualities. Square, promenade, beach, square again, vantage points, inner and outer spaces, private and public; they create a story, an adventurous scenery, a nice place to be. The crossing, becomes a secondary act. A result, rather than a purpose. The bridge creates an open public space as it starts in front of the music house, conversating with the future image of Aalborg and answering the city’s lack of a central square. On the Norresundby side, it leans towards the natural scenery with the most “green” part of the bridge, the roof of the hotel. The design of the hotel and hostel rooms follows the overall idea of connection to the surroundings. For that purpose the “utility belt” is introduced, in order to achieve views from every point of the room. The bathtub on the balcony is placed in order to be able to experience the culture of bathing in the nature in every time of the year. The spa facilities are situated in the lower layer of the of the complex, always in close relation with water and where the presence of the columns is more dense and intense, underlying the closer distance of this place with the foundations of the building and the connection of the rituals of bathing with the roots of mankind. Entering the building mass, one is slipping, from an open air and uncovered terrace, directly into the dark horizontal slit, passing through pairs of columns, functions and atriums to finish in the change rooms. A transgression space between the dressed and naked, uncovered world. The circulation is floating freely and uninterrupted; interior and exterior spaces are joined, first visionary, and then physically as the synthetic elements are spread out of the glass facade, provoking the visitors to experience open air bathing.

Street art A zero-energy housing complex An example of Integrated Design Process
AAU, 2011, group project with Camilla Brink Harck, Jibo Chen and RenĂŠ Therkelsen. This project deals with the design of a sustainable mixed-use housing complex in Aalborg. The design both concerns the urban the threshold scale of Designing a housing area and the architectural scale of individual dwellings. The building complex in this project is designed to fulfill the 2020 energy demand, without the use of renewable energy production but only with energy efficiency measures. Furthermore, the building complex meets the zero energy goals on an annual basis, when building and energy use (heating, water, cooling, user related) and renewable energy resources are included.
Sketch by Jibo Chen
This project combines energy neutrality with the development of good life conditions for human beings in the creation of sustainable architecture. Whereas energy neutrality can be measured and calculated it is more dificult to define richness of human lifestyle. People talk about their houses as their homes, a place, where they seek protection, rest, peace. Integration in all stages of designing is used as a methodology to design a holistic and sustainable solution with respect to environment and human behavior and comfort. During the design phase engineering software was used for the calculation of the total energy consumption, the shadow and wind polution in the masterplan and the final indoor climate conditions of the dwelling units.

Beyond our frond door lays a world we have little influence, where we feel threatened rather than at home. Surely is better to go back to the optimistic concept of the reconquered street, where the street is again conceived as the place where social contact between residents can established : a communal living room. [Herman Hertzberger] The concept of the living street is based on the idea that the inhabitants have something in common, they expect something from each another. This feeling revolves around everyday social interaction. Dwelling units function better if they are sited on a living street, whose well function depends on how receptive they are. Whether the atmosphere inside the homes can blend with the atmosphere outside is determined by the planning and detaining of the neighbourhood. To reproduce the feeling of a neighbourhood, the space between the building rows should host the circulation to and from the entrance spaces between dwellings. This inner, protected street does not exceed the 15 meters width, to maintain the visual and maybe acoustical contact with the exterior spaces on upper floors. The circulation is floating around the cores, where some parking spots for bikes can be placed. And this is the only vehicle that can access this street. Concretization of the threshold as an inbetween space, creates a setting for welcomes and farewells, and is therefore the translation of hospitality into architectonic terms. The threshold creates the conditions for social contacts as the walls create the conditions for privacy. Creating intermediate spaces, that belong to either the private or public domain is the key to eliminate the sharp division between areas with different territorial claims.

Calculations on energy consumption along with the designing of adequate daylight conditions, indicated that the best solution wants the core to serve four apartments per floor. This way all apartments have sufficient daylight conditions and the cluster’s energy consumption i lower than 20KWh/m2 per year. The apartment, as a repetitive unit, shares its entrance space with the neighbouring one. The southern living room gains the most from the solar radiation, the kitchen and the access to the mezzanine, are situated in the middle of the volume, and constructed by white wood, reflecting the indirect light. A reading corner, in the northern bedroom zone, promotes cross ventilation for the whole unit. All internal walls are made by insulated panels hooked on a wooden skeleton. All installations are grouped in cores, and the wardrobes are integrated to the panels. A

Furnitecture A place to sit Experimentation in tectonic culture AAU, 2011, group project with Daniel Nilzen and Daniel Szakacs. LEX I Life Expressions, Frameless Galery, London http://www.wix.com/letusexpress Tectonic : of or relating to construction or to architecture
τέχνη [tékhn-] 1. craft, skill, trade 2. art 3. cunning, wile 4. means. From Proto-Indo-European *te-þ- (“to plait, woodwork, carpenter”) A tectonic place to sit is an architectural application that organizes and defines space and the feeling of it. More than a piece of furniture, it is a manipulation, a creation of new space; an entity affecting and affected by the usage of it. The construction derived from a perfect joint, the fusion of three planes, that in an unambiguous way ensures acampsia without secondary elements. The joint celebrates the tectonic and architectural honesty by beeing exposed and accomondating the function, as the place to sit. It is stiffened by the applied forces throughout the construction and the user interaction. The detail, the joint should not be viewed as an independent element of a whole but rather as a sequence of conjunctions that defines the whole; composing the artistic form, architectural function and tectonic construction.
Childcare center in a Roma settlement Thought and practice An example of Open-plan design DUTh Dilpoma Thesis, 2009, group project with Despoina Kameni and Ifigeneia Milia. Exposed at DUTH student projects 2009 exhibition, “Π”, kapnergaton 9, Xanthi The selection of the theme was based on the fundamental lack of resources for educational and recreational use, for the 1200 roma children of Drosero, a 200 years old Roma settlement in the outskirts of Xanthi. The settlement is connected to the city’s water, electricity and sewage infrustructure with new projects built every year like a sports hall and the public square, setting the area’s status higher. Nevertheless an elementary school competition was not held by the time this project was submitted. The objective of the master thesis was to design a child care centre which functions as an elementary school, at the same time it would inform and educate the children upon sanitary and health issues occuping them all day long, keeping them away from the streets and when necessary hosting them during night hours also.
Function diagram
The building program was synthesized after disscussions with the Roma women of drosero association, a cultural association formed and working for the progress of the comunity, educating children and adults, offering job to the comunity members and mediate between the comunity and the municipality of Xanthi. When thought became sketching, it represented the void and external spaces rather any building mass. The sequence of spaces, is be very important for the smooth transgression to the building complex and the elementary school laying in the very heart of the plot. Considering the special lifestyle of this social group, consideration is given on the open-air spaces and the continuation of the functions in them, the easy and smooth access-move from the settlement to the centre of the building complex

The inner yard is downgraded and surrounded by the, dressed with natural stone, soil banks. That way the whole plot discusses with the context, offering siting places and small open air niches for everyone in the settlement. An inhabited ground. The project furnishes the earth with heavy, concrete, rough, on budget building units connected with an unpolished steel skeleton... An almost vernacular architecture far away from imagery concepts. Evoking memories of nomadism and trying to keep alive the connection with nature. Materials for construction were the natural ground and extracted rock to form a base and establish the connection with the earth.

The exposed concrete, always raising high level discussions with the natural elements, looking like an artificial stone with long lasting life. Scenographic elements derived from the stereotypes of a nomadic lifestyle, the steel trusses and fabric coverings, forming light constructions. A network of paths and terraces connecting all building mass, giving coherence and a feeling of temporarity in space and time. The elementary school is located on the norther corner of the plot and downgraded. The debasement of the ground happened in order to protect the school’s spaces without arising hard limits such as walls or fences, foreign elements to the specific group of people and children. The rest of the complex, that would be the sanitary and caring units and the restaurant, placed on the west of the plot leaving an openair space between them. The basic path and entrance is a loggia constructed by steel and wood board, connecting the management with the sanitary, the accomodation unit and the restaurant. Each one of those spaces can be expanded in yards. The school consists of 4 clasters arranged around a covered, yet openair, auditorium that serves as the school yard. Reflecting the principals of open plan design, the classrooms are multifunctional, changing their area, capacity or typology many times during the day, being appropriate for teaching or playing and easily expand their functionality in the neighbouring open-air spaces.

DUTh, Place and Construction, 2007, group project with Stauros Drakostamatis and Iraklis Romanopoulos The project deals with the design of a digital art hub, hence a digital library, video and photography workshops along with hosting units for the users. The plot lays next to the ancient city walls of Thessaloniki in a former marble quarry whose the 60 meters tall soil banks form an earthy “hug”. Answering this special topographic scenery, an excavation of the ground is taking place to create a more stable “interior” space. To enter the plot, one has to descend a slop to find himself in the
downgraded square. The concept derived from the concretization of a “projection screen”; the linear, naked building mass consists an empty canvas furnished with containers, the rooms, and reflecting the vibrancy of the usage. The building itself becomes a “projection screen” that reflects the ephemeral of the use through construction as the units could be extracted leaving the space able for hosting unexpected use. The public corridors are extended to the hill as walking routes connecting the building with the context in the most immense way. The workshops are placed on the basement, together with all conference halls, auditoriums
and workshops, leaving the ground floor open to be used as a gathering and/or open air exhibition space. The lower from the street level groundfloor forms a protected open air public square to whom the entrance is acheived via a slope. The units themselves are multifunctional constructed by a series of panels, able to be folded and moved to form the different furniture, answering the demand for various use of space but also the standarts for comfortable living conditions. Different floor levels are connected physically via the open staircase and visually through atrium holes, creating a unified spatial experience where daily life freely floats among the slabs and the room containers.

Social Organisation and Spatial Configuration in a Roma settlement Theoretical Diploma Thesis and Lecture Material This is the title of a theoretical Diploma thesis I published and presented during the last year of my studies, to support the practical one Childcare center in a Roma settlement, thus the prologue (where the theme is indicated) and the resume: Roma people have the reputation of ‘free’ people, not succumbing to rules and goals. It is as if their freedom is keeping them alive. Is this true, or just a stereotype? Are they settlers? And if so, is the Roma-style settlement any different from that of the ‘non-Roma’ people, even if they exist in the same region? In general, Roma way of living tends to look anarchic, reminding barracks. Poor materials, temporary constructions, huts and tents randomly arranged. Or is it just so obscure that in the eyes of the non-Roma would make no sense? Is a Roma settlement making ahy sense? Does it have structure and rythm? Does it follow any rules and if so, what is the driving force, which are the vital necessities that lead to the deviation from the normal standards of living?
establish a common ground between them and our own settlements-later turned into cities. Are there any similarities? A common start between the two? Finally, there are references in how could the Roma community be assimilated in the urban fabric, while avoiding their cultural allienation. In an attempt to roughly describe Drosero: At first sight nothing hints of the uniqueness of the people living here. It might just as well be a settlement on the outskirts of the city now merged with it. It defeinitely isn’t a suburb because there’s no real connection to the city. Drosero looks as if hanging by a thread. At the same time it doesn’t seem to follow the Roma standards, or rather the dominant stereotype for Roma camps. I can clearly see roofs, rooftop terraces, tin constructions forming some kind of polygon building blocks. Why is there a square in the center settlement? What about the school, the kindergarten, the sports center? Could it be that Drosero doesn’t resemble a Roma settlement at all? Or even a non-Roma, for that matter? Could it be the by-product of a group of people with mixed characteristics? Remote, but not weaned from its roots, so much that you can still see reflections of its former life. At the same time, in its attempt to acclimatise, it occasionally assumes different identities, matching and alligned to the circumnstances or not.
Goal of this research is to record the mechanisms used by a community with specific cultural, social and historical characteristics, the Roma people of Drosero, in its attempt to create a place for itself. What is that, that eventually creates a town? What is that, that turns a camp into a settlement, a village, or even, a suburb? At the same time this study The conclusion that arises from the first 2 is an attempt to understand the obsession of this particular group with the different way chapters is that Roma society, in contrast with of lifestyle, and identify the causes that forbid other nomadic or non-nomadic societies, does them to do differently. It is also an attempt to not succumb to a specific rule. It seems that
some settlers may as well start moving (again), some nomads may as well settle (somewhere), changing roles and ways of living for no apparent reason, and in no obvious connection with the reasons that led them to take these roles in the first place. The type of the housing they use each time they settle, and the way they use it, has to reflect the status under which the group is living. The types of housing recorded are:The tent, the truck (the evolution of the cart), the hut and the house. It is concluded that the different style of living comes from different views of the space, views that begin to form during the early years of life and are completed while growing up and socialising. They are being taught that ‘indoors’ is a break from ‘outdoors’. For this reason, among others, when Roma children are called out to attend school they have difficulties following the rules of an enclosed school. Chapters 3 and 4 analyze the social structure and organization of Roma society (in groups and sub-groups, according to their family bonds) and their economic structure, which is entirely depended on the economy of the non-Roma society, and always is a domestic affair, and how those structures affect and reflect on the group’s living space. In particular, every “social party“ has a “spatial part” in the whole site group. Finally, these chapters analyse the relationship of the Roma groups with their neighbouring city. The town has principals foreign for the Roma, considering that their perception is solely based on the temporary, but exclusive, use of space over all other groups of people. Also, everything in the city refer to spatial management from the individual, while in Roma
society spatial management comes from all the group. Furthermore, the urban planning and organization are products of a society foreign to them and the city reflects the social rules and values of this other society. In particular, urban space is organised based on splitting the daily life in time-parts which follow one another according the needs of the productive system. This comes in contrast with the spacial usage from Roma-people, usage that reflects their productive system which is interwined in time and space, for the reason that their work is measured in days or seasons and not in workhours. Thus, the urban space and environment is not familiar to them. Their need for exclusive territorial use leads them to the outskirts of every corresponding town, allowing them to survive and develop a rudimentary type of community without losing touch with the surrounding, non-Roma society. In there they develop the type that suites the particular group, in there they decide if its viable to live in tents, huts or houses, in the most undeveloped parts of a town, parts that remain undeveloped even if the Roma build the ‘most beautiful’ houses, in between gravel-layed streets and mud, without the rudimentary ifrastructure for water supply and sanitation. In every case they live in the ‘no-man’s-land’ areas of every given established society. And every time this ‘no-man’s-land’ of an established society, transforms in to ‘land’ the Roma have to find other places, away from the developement of every given town, to create their own ‘space’ and ‘land’. And if there is no such ‘no-man’s-land’ left in a town, then the
Roma have to leave.
How can the planning authorities of the place then configurate this area, upgrade the living standards of the Roma-people, withouth thoroughly understanding and recording the Roma way of lifestyle and their territoriality? This is not a rhetorical question. As part of this lecture, and while taking into consideration the approval of the new urban plan of Xanthi, there is a great concern on what what the future holds for this area. According to the group Amities Tsiganes a Toulouse, the Roma groups must have, as a part of their strategy, the right of choice of their own ‘living-space’, in their own land, with their own houses, in an area where the entire group resides, and, in any case, they must have the right of mobility. DEPOS’ recent research shows that most Roma want a privately owend house.
The final 2 chapters have recorded the situtation that Roma-people face today in Greece, in fields such as housing, education, work, medical care, and the example of the settlement in Drosero Xanthi is also mentioned. The historical data collected (data which were difficult to collect, since the ‘elders’ are relatively young, considering the average life span is very small) record the camp’s transformation to settlement in a period of 70 years. This means that houses (which started appearing since the 80’s) did not have an official permit, but the municipality had to, partially, accept their ‘legallity’ by supplying them with clean, running water and electricity. In addition, during the last 20 years, there have been some utility projects such as a Sports Center (private funding), the rebuilding of the central ‘square’, schools According to all of the above, the settlement (which are not sufficient to house 1600 students) in Drosero, Xanthi, may as well become one of and the construction of streets that were built the best examples of creating and developing a while installing sewage system.

The new urban plan, then, will Finally, have to provide, in addition with securing the basic viotic rights, social and cultural areas The Roma society stands on its own as of training and a sufficient amount of outdoor a different and ‘independent’ society when public spaces. compared to that of the non-Roma. It is not just a cultural difference. The way that Roma So, the opinion of P. Dassau that “the community organizes and structures the space, lifestyle and the culture of Roma-people is its own space, is different. It is a wholly different packed with lessons for today and tomorrow’ concept of ‘organising’, a concept rooted in the is no exaggeration. Redefining the values of centuries-old history of the Roma community, democracy in the city seems to pass through which lives in the area in its own particular way. the necessity of reconstituting today’s damaged A style of living which expresses the particular social life. social structure and contributes to its survival.
