01 +2300 . Research and Education Center in Mount Helmos
UTH 2018, Tenth semester Diploma Project Collaboration: Afroditi Dosopoulou
This diploma thesis deals with the proposal for the creation of a research, training and residence center in the Kalavryta region of the Peloponnese, and more specifically in Neraidorahi, the second highest peak of Mount Helmos, where today the largest telescope in the Balkans is placed , the telescope " Aristarchus". The present installation of the telescope has been the occasion for creating a scenario aiming at the interaction between researchers, astrophysics, academics, amateur astronomers and children, focusing on astronomy. We propose the creation of a building-shell, placed underground in its largest part, with a main element of a prismoid roof with openings and semi-open spaces, spots for astrological observation and contemplation of the night sky. We aim to resident researchers who work annually on the Aristarchus Telescope, the external telescope visitors, the various astronomy clubs and schools, as well as children from all levels of education who visit the area and facilities during school excursions in order to learn about astronomy and observe the night sky. An important factor in the designing of the building is the extreme weather conditions of the area, the difficult access and the intense slope of the soil. At the same time, we are working on a multidisciplinary planning approach, in collaboration with the researchers of the Athens Observatory and the National Center for Research in Natural Sciences "Demokritos", to study in depth both the needs of the users of the area and to collect climatic data from valid sources.

The relation of the building with the environment and facilities The location of the Research and Education Center in Mount Helmos is east of the telescope "Aristarxos" at a distance of thirteen meters from it. The building extends in the east-west direction. More specifically, the criteria for selecting the site were the prevailing wind direction, which is northwest. As the winds in the area are strong (max 130 km / h) and for a long time during the winter season. We chose to place the building on the east side of the ridge to protect it from the morphology of the soil and not to receive intense wind pressure. Each side of the roof performs a different function. On the south side of the roof we placed photovoltaic thin-film panels. The slope of the roof we have designed has a thirty degree slope relative to the horizontal plane for the maximum energy efficiency. The north-facing section of the roof also has a slope which contributes to the aerodynamic form of the building as the prevailing wind direction is north-west.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS | DETAIL PLAN
Construction and Materials In the perimeter of the building we used reinforced concrete 40 cm thick, which acts as a load-bearing element of the structure and encloses the underground part of construction. Inside these walls we placed four rows of 40 * 40 cm metal columns per 5.2 meters in the longitudinal direction of the building. At the first level of the ground floor, these pillars are reinforced concrete, while on the other floors the load-bearing structural elements are metal, double T type to reduce the weight of construction and 40 * 20 cm. The metal columns running through the building perimeter and continue as primary roof beams that act as single structural elements. The roof is coated with zinc titanium which is a material resistant to extremes environments, long life, waterproof and highly resistant to solar radiation. In the construction, we used energy-glass panes that have surprisingly higher thermal insulation performance than any known glass panes. Finally, inside the building, we chose to lay out the floors with wooden boards as well as some interior walls, to give a sense of shelter to the interior of the building.

ROOF ANALYSIS | SECTION PLAN
Multipurpose of roof This pristine shape of roof creates a cover for the building, protecting the part designed from the ground level and above. With its shape, the roof is aiming at exploiting solar radiation, avoiding the strong winds and the pressures of snow. At the same time, the openings placed on the roof allow light to enter the building and better ventilate it. Four large transverse openings allow direct contact of the user with the exterior as well as its exit from the building laterally. The two terraces designed in the middle of the roof were created for the following reasons: apart from the fact that they contribute to the lighting and ventilation of the building, these two atriums are palces for star observation and contemplation of the night sky, with the openings closed in case of hard weather conditions or open when the weather is softer. Across the roof we find skylights that lead the light inside the building.

02 Temporary common space UTH 2016, Ninth semester Design Studio Volos city, port redevelopment Collaboration: Maria Xanthopoulou
With over 1 million refugees having arrived via the Turkish coast in Greece since 2015, our country is one of the EU countries most affected by the ongoing crisis. Greek authorities managed to handle the unprecedented refugee flows in Greece by creating, as quickly as possible, hosting facilities for refugees and migrants and closing,at the same time, unofficial and improper settlements. In the city of Volos several dozen of refugees arrived mainly through the Mediteranian sea. In the other hand Volos is the third of the major commercial ports of Greece, but also has much traffic because it is connected by ferries as well as by hydrofoils with the nearby Sporades Islands, which include Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos. Cruiseships come every year with a lot of tourists all over the world. At this project a designing effort took place in order to facilitate both the immigrants and the visitors that come to Greece for two different reasons. Those two groups have nothing in common but the space. The challenge of this academic project was to combine a cruise terminal for tourists with temporary housing for the people that need a house to live.

Accessibility In the first stage of the design we focused on connecting the cruise terminal with the city center. We placed the cruise terminal in the northwest side of the jetty and the main road passes infront of it and leads to the city center.
"Borders" The next step in our design process was to define the "border" between the commercial zone and the private one. So we define the commercial zone with a longitudinal shaped building across the platform with a clear geometry.

"Passages" In the third step we created those different areas we attempt to bridge them via passages that lead the people from the ground level to an elevated observation deck above the commercial zone that meets multiple purposes.
Building Blocks In the final step of design process we create four building blocks that will facilitate the social houses. This perimeter type of design that those blocks has give the sense of privacy to the occupants.

Privileged view As a result of its privileged geographic location, the terminal develops longitudinally along the new multipurpose pier, in the east side of the dock, creating two facades made of structural glazing with solar control glass. In the direction of the terminal next to it we designed a big shopping mall with cafeterias and restaurants that serves the terminal as the people of the city. Those two buildings create an elevated platform. There, the user becomes surrounded by three quadrants of the sea, and can view the sea to the east where the trade winds come from, the harbor to the west with the fishing boats and the part of the sea where the cruise ships come from to the north. From this large platform there are four ramps which softly reach the ground where the private“neighborhoods are located.

Neighborhoods In order to provide a sense of home rather than a shelter we follow a design strategy with blocks of buildings in a perimetre of an open space that gives a sense of protected area or a neighborhood. In a closer look we create a different zones of activities for the occupants. In the first level of the buildings we design an open meeting space for all the habitats to get familiar one onother and to be able to participate in activities such as film projection or team games. The second level of the buildings is only for housing instead of the trird one that includes both appartments and kitchens, one for every tree apartments.

Apartment typologies for social housing After a closer examination of the needs of the occupants we create tree typologies for housing. The first one Type A is for a single person or a couple without children. Type B is an apartment for a couple with a single or two kids and includes a private room and a one more space with another bed and a desk. Type C is the two previous apartments combined in order to house a larger family with four children.

ARCHITECTURAL MODEL
Design concept The greatest conceptual strength of the project is perhaps its sensitive relationship with the urban waterfront. With the observation deck as a fully accessible public plaza, the terminal seamlessly emerges from the neighboring commercial port to make one uninterrupted, accessible urban parkscape. Its height has remained low to achieve continuity with the shore and to ensure that inland views of the waterfront remain unobstructed. The only elevated constructions, is the cafeterias and restaurants above the observational deck. These three smaller constructions follow the existing character of the port of Volos that is full of container cranes.

03 Responsible shading system. UTH 2013, Fifth semester Design Studio Dynamic Facade System individual project
There are many different reasons to want to control the amount of sunlight that is admitted into a building. In warm, sunny climates excess solar gain may result in high cooling energy consumption, in cold and temperate climates winter sun entering south-facing windows can positively contribute to passive solar heating and in nearly all climates controlling and diffusing natural illumination will improve daylighting. Well-designed sun control and shading devices can dramatically reduce building peak heat gain and cooling requirements and improve the natural lighting quality of building interiors. Depending on the amount and location of fenestration, reductions in annual cooling energy consumption of 5% to 15% have been reported. Sun control and shading devices can also improve user visual comfort by controlling glare and reducing contrast ratios. This often leads to increased satisfaction and productivity. Shading devices offer the opportunity of differentiating one building facade from another. This can provide interest and human scale to an otherwise undistinguished design.

DETAIL PLANS
Design Concept The proposed shading system design for the facade of an office building was done to optimize working conditions and save energy. The basic design parameters were the thermal and visual comfort of the workers, the reduction of the direct and diffuse radiation ratio and the low cost of construction and maintenance of the system. The original idea emerged from the study of horizontal and vertical blinds, which are the usual shading systems in office buildings. Combining these two systems morphologically resulted in a new shading system consisting of horizontal elements along the façade (shades) of which it is composed of four high-level horizontal elements. This unit, being supported only at its upper end, has the ability to rotate around its vertical axis, to lift it in the form of a cantilever but also to fold by reducing its length to approximately ¼. This freedom of movement allows the system to "follow" the height and azimuth of the sun, drawing a parabolic path.

DESIGN PROCESS
Location: Thessaloniki, Greece
Design Process The movement of shaders was precisely determined by the use of the Rhino 3D, Grasshopper and Ladybug digital tools. The model of the building was originally designed in Rhino 3D, the shaders were designed in Grasshopper 3D for Rhino, so they can be parameterized. After finding the optimal shape and dimensions of each shader, the process of correlation with the sun began. With the help of the Ladybug tool, which is a plugin program at Grasshopper the initial parametres inserted. That was the solar data of Thessaloniki and the orientation of the building which is southern. The next step was to create a conceived vector from the building to the sun and to programme it in a way that the path of the blinds always be perpendicular to this vector. Changing the time, day and month variable, the shaders change position accordingly. In addition to the intensity of direct and diffuse radiation in the atmosphere, the blinds fold to allow more brightness to enter the building or increase their length in order to cut out more of the radiation in it. Finally, all this system with sensors placed on the outside can perceive the hard weather conditions (such as strong wind) in order to fold and remain below the specially shaped recess along the facade until the weather conditions get better. This of course happens to protect the blinds from any damage. • 37 •

04 Habitation in extreme isolated and confined environments UTH 2016, Ninth semester Research Project individual project
Humans curious nature combined with the evolution of technology, has led to the exploration of enviroments of extreme conditions, where survival is not possible without the use of technology. Habitation of isolated and extreme enviroments is a challenge, that is both technical as well as psychological. In the present study, five habitats in terrestrial analogs, are analyzed in terms of their design,functions and external environment. These habitats are McMurdo Station of Antarctica, Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, Mars Desert Research Station, NASA’s Extreme Environment Mission Operations facility and the International Space Station. Previous similar studies have shown that, the adaptation of humans in extreme environmental conditions, as well as isolation and confinement, is difficult and can lead to depression, boredom, seclusion from the group, social deprivation, sensory deprivation and other negative effects. Taking this into consideration, design factors are being studied in order to enhance the habitability of the habitat and the psychological well-being of the inhabitants. The main ways of achieving this goal, is the proper allocation of space, provided personal space for every crew member as well as proper usage of the common areas in order to enhance productivity and interaction among crewmembers.
