A hole in the water Supervisor: Tentokali Vana
The diploma project involves the design procedure of a linear route, which aims to enhance the way the river Evro’s landscape is perceived by tourists and residents. The route begins from Lake Drana and ends to Lake Nymfon. The direction of the linear route derives from the act of connecting various natural habitats and plant communities configured due to the movement of the underground sweet or salty water. At first, the landscape is approached through geological matters in micro and macro scale. From this research two important metal properties are pointed out: foliation, which refers to the division of the metal’s surface to layers and lineation which refers to the elements of a metal’s microstructure with standard orientation. Based on these properties, there are the first attempts of reforming the initial plane surface. Foliation leads to the division of the surface into stripes, while multiple curves are inscribed on it, in order to create folds. The three development stages of a river are also taken into consideration, in order to create the linear composition and the particular folds. Consequently takes place the codification of the curved line system. At first, the code is applied to the core of the system and then expands to the rest of the composition. As far as the architectural space is concerned, foliation is transferred as a synthesis of parallel bronze buttresses, which appear and disappear because of the movement of the flooding water every 6 hours. On the other hand, lineation directs the route by forming dykes, whose branches create dry areas protected from the flooding water-or otherwise holes in the water.

Landscape, Space, Form, Museum on a coast Supervisors: Sakellaridou Irini, Tsakalidou Vanessa
The promenade by the sea is configured by linear parks, voids and great buildings set as landmarks. The initial idea avoids proposing another landmark by the sea. Instead, it designs the landscape and proposes that the museum becomes part of it. The massive form of the building is deconstructed to smaller units that can be completely open, semi-open or shaded. All these smaller units host different rooms and functions. The main exhibition area creates a minimal linear volume and extends turning its backs to the city. The main voids of the linear volume create framing views towards the two landscapes, the designed one and the urban one. Several ramps organize the open spaces and create the main paths. A main inclined plane leads to the lecture room and the amphitheater which stay buried under the earth. 13

Plato’s love Supervisor: Tentokali Vana
The final outcome refers to a designing method which organizes an urban sprawl through the introduction of a system of curves configured by a strong conceptual background. The starting point of the concept derives from the Plato’s symposium and the speech of Aristophanes about love and the origin of love. After reading the text, I was asked to create a spatial text based on the written one. The initial spatial text is a system of curves inscribed on a compact mass. Afterwards, the system is codified, in order to discover the origins of its morphogenesis. The code derives from geology, and specially from the procedure of the abstraction and the reposition of the earth material due to water movement. The mass is eroded and reformed, just like the meaning of separation and desire are detected in the Aristophanes’ speech. Introducing the concept in a context demands a thorough analysis of the visual structural characteristics of both of them. The context is defined by unorganized voids and building masses. As a result, main goal is to introduce the structural principals of the concept in order to organize the entire area and redo its form. The initial curves start to converge by creating forks as a result of the interaction with the structural characteristics of the context. The fork separates the circulation into two different rows, both in plan and section. The cars move three levels underground, while the pedestrians move one level underground through ramps.

The proposed use refers to small shopping centers that are defined inside the wider parts of the curves. The intermediate void designed in order to distinguish the abstraction from the reposition, is used now as a linear parking lot for the cars existing underground. The deigning result is a spatial ripple of the plane surface of the context. In the end this approach resembles to the metro station and its underground network, which leads and resets the circulation to other levels, leaving untouched what is happening on the ground level. The composition creates proper conditions for the coexistence of the car and the pedestrians through a procedure of structural elaboration of the void.

Interventions by the sea Supervisors: Tsinikas Nikos, Vavili Fani, Dimitris Fragkos In collaboration with Kazazi Gabriela
This project refers to the construction of a wall made of wooden shutters, which fold by creating a seating area. This construction belongs to an overall intervention in an unused space inside the camping area of the students of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. This room extends beside the restaurant and is constructed of metal beams and columns with a rooftop. The main intention is to reconsider the boundaries of the space and to make constructions that create the desired enclosure. As far as the way the proposed construction stands statically, the parallel wooden parts are wedged inside the columns shaped as double T, while additional wooden parts support the intermediate folds. These supporting parts are placed in a way in order to highlight the curves. Due to limited time, the construction was not completed, only the half of it. 21

The crack
Supervisor: Elias Zenghelis In collaboration with Lazou Ioulia, Christodoulidou Christina
This project refers to the designing procedure of a conference hall in the surroundings of Moni Paou, Pelion, Greece. The analysis of the existing area leads to the conclusion that the landscape is chatty and scattered, while the buildings appear like points spread rather unorganized all over the entire area. Among the most important physical parameters that point out from the landscape, is a rock opposite the monastery, which is selected to host the proposing composition. The conceptual line that connects the rock with the monastery appears in the landscape as a linear trace upon the rock. The trace is imprinted on the rock through the excavation of a linear volume. As a result, a minimal crack is created, existing in contrast with the chatty landscape that surrounds it. Both sides of the crack accommodate the necessary rooms for the conference hall according to their private, semi-private or public character, while the crack accommodates the open amphitheater. All the windows and doors face inside the crack, while the roof is configured like a slab of concrete, with several skylights on it. In the end, the material that is abstracted from the rock, is placed along the path that connects the monastery with the rock, forming minimal sculptures made of stone which create pyramids, cubes and spheres. 23

Microstructures and the model of representation in the 3D space
Linear limbic spaces between land and sea: Landscape designing in river Evros’ Delta. Supervisor: Vana Tentokali
Delta of river Evros, located in the frontier between Greece and Turkey at the crossroad of east and west culture, consists of a physical form in the borderline between land and sea. Landscape designing in a river’s delta environment requires the analysis of physical, geological, geographical and building reserve parameters. Taking these factors into consideration, a strong conceptual background is formed, which examines the significance of the borderline as a matter of structure both in the existing environment and in the proposing one. In order to create a limbic space from the scratch and to implement it in the landscape of Evro’s delta, my research focuses on the formation of a linear structure. As a result, every particular physical procedure, which can generate a linear form, is thoroughly examined. The requested linear structure is found in the pre-existing microstructures of metals, which is transferred in the 3d space under the certain conditions of foliation oand lineation. As far as the design process has been developing, the final curves create a route with several forks interacting with the characteristics of the given environment and resulting in the creation of dry ecosystems inside the flooding areas of the river’s delta. In the end the possibility of creating new ecosystems with different characteristics inside existing ones through the creation of limbic spaces is of great importance and could create a future approach in landscape design. 27

Zauene Barriere
Supervisors: Joerg Stollman, Donatella Fioretti In collaboration with Luca Mule, Tesela Coraj
Campus Efeuweg –Modelle fuer eine neu Gropiusstadt is a project that refers to the rehabilitation of a complex of school buildings in Gropiusstadt. The name of the area derives from Gropius, who designed most of the buildings expressing the architectural movement of that time. This particular project focuses on the campus and tries to suggest new solutions for the public and the private places, so as for the whole district to be reformed and better used. Its content is the already given background, which includes the existing buildings, the open green spaces and in general the urban plan proposed by Gropius. The result of my team work in this particular area was first the preparation of a map showing the existing borders, fences and entrances of the whole area including the campus which was the focusing point as well as the thorough analysis of the documentation and the research of the other teams. Second step was the design of a linear building that reacts with the whole complex proposing the reuse of the campus as a public space. This linear building is connected in some parts with some of the old buildings creating usable space and it develops itself through the whole campus sometimes as a volume and other times as a border line. It aims to restore the campus so as for it to be reused as a private school area until 18 o’clock through the use of some extra tower shaped volumes as filters for the users and as a public open space after the school ends for the rest of the residents. 29

Refuge Box
Supervisors: Vavili Fani In collaboration with Zoi Moutsokou
The project refuge box refers to a movable group of houses designed for the refugees living stacked in old carton boxes at the area around the port in Patra. Every unit of the proposed housing village is constructed by two cubes 3X3X3m creating different combinations every time. The result is eighteen different living units. The static backbone of the construction is metallic and between the metallic columns are assembled the filling walls made of panels. These panels are 1X3m and they are prefabricated. The entire construction can be put together directly in the requested lot and afterwards be knocked down and moved to another place. The panels are made of various recyclable materials, which create a variety of colors and shapes on the side elevations of the units. As far as the construction is concerned, these materials are compressed under certain conditions in order to become plane and then they are cut in order to create the panels in the proper conditions. The canopies of these units are also made of prefabricated panels and they serve as an element for the composition of the entire village. There are also a shared kitchen, a laundry and a clinic which are designed according to the principal modulo creating more complicated combinations.

Transitional Sites
Supervisors: Polichronopoulos Dimitris, Moraitis Kostas In collaboration with Karageorgiou Rania, Chatzitheofilou Nina, Roussopoulou Stella
Hotel Xenia is a remote building in the island Thasos. Nowadays, is completely abandoned and left to decay. It was designed by the famous Greek architect Sfaelos and it is located very close to the port. The building along with the garden that surrounds it, can be reconstructed and used as a landmark for the entire area. Main concept is the synthesis of vertical and horizontal flows, which direct the tourists and the residents from the port to the building. The concept of the flows resembles to the paintings of Piet Mondrian. Furthermore, it is proposed that the building is left without any additional elements, but only as a composition of beams and columns. These flows appear in the front elevation of the building, creating a sense of continuity between the two levels, the site plan and the elevation. The flows are constructed in a different way for both levels. When the flows appear in the elevation, then they are represented as metallic elements or scaffolds creating the sense that building is under construction. The flows that appear in the site plan are constructed as stripes of water, soil or concrete, pavements and rows of trees. 37

Moving Cage_DLA Workshop Supervisor: Zoltan Bachmann, Pal Nemeth
Main subject of participating in the DLA (Doctor of Liberal Arts) workshop has been the design of a bronze sculpture. The composition refers to a wireframe of a cube made of bronze, which is able to rotate around an axis thanks to a mechanistic arm placed in the corner of its bronze basis. The procedure includes the construction of a wax model in the beginning and afterwards the wax model is placed in a pot made of plaster. Several pipes are connected with the wax model and create a network around the model in order to establish the proper conditions for the circulation of the casted material inside it. Thereafter, the pot is placed inside the oven, in order for the wax to melt and to leave the cast of the sculpture’s form. The pot is filled with the melted metal and is left for some hours to get cold. In the end, the pot is destroyed and the metal sculpture is revealed. The metal pipes are removed and the sculpture is sprayed with specific oxides in order to acquire the desired patina. This particular sculpture has been exhibited along with some printings explaining the main concept. 39

A generation in void
In collaboration with Polimenidis Michalis, Grozopoulos Dimitris, Karamitrou Vivi, Kretsi Michaela
The installation is part of the exhibition with the title “KENO, 7th Greek Architectural Exhibtion�. Main concept of the construction is the creation of a grid that is able to support 30 architectural projects and 30 diploma theses, selected works from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Architecture. The installation is placed in the middle of the room, while 30 boxes with double sides are positioned inside the grid recreating constantly the void of the rectangular space of the room. As the boxes approach the wooden scaffold, the are lighted due to a led that is placed in the middle. When they are in a distance they become darker as the light fades away. The visitor is able to move around the room and by pressing the boxes, receives the picture of the project. At the same time, on the opposite site, on the wall, are the summaries of the project with a qr code, which transfers the visitor to a web site with all the drawings and the complete texts of the projects. 41

Reconstruction of the street Apostolou Pavlou, Turkish Embassy SPARCH, Sakellaridou+Papanikolaou Architects
Main concept of the reconstruction of the street Apostolou Pavlou is the carpet as an element of the east culture and how the patterns are designed on them. Main intention is the construction of a unified floor, where there are areas of higher and lower density of the same pattern, in order to create some focusing areas. On the floor are imprinted five types of the same patter, each one is the same with the initial, but with less colors. Every time a color is subtracted from the initial pattern, is replaced with the color grey. The pattern is 1X1m, and the smaller units composing it are 0.90X0.90m. The main rule that refers to the way the different types of the pattern are developed is that they are placed like crosses, where every single pattern is in mirror position with the initial one. The crosses are located in the drawing and are combined with another type of pattern, very common in the east tradition, known as “The tree of life�. 43
