BRIEF INCOGNITO Winter Studio - UCLA AUD Instructors: Natasha Sandmeier, Nathan Su Contributors: Alekya Malladi, Gesthimani Roumpani, Yanrong Yang Type: academic, research, short film, narrative, storytelling, concept art Mar 2020

When a young girl goes missing, we follow a police officer investigating her timeline against corruptions of memory.

In the format of a criminal investigationbased on a book, our film’s previsualization serves as an exposé on memory and spatial reconstruction, revealing how connections can be made across memory media. More importantly, it points out that “subjective”

memories such as witness testimonies might be looked at as the most volatile, and yet it is often the data-driven and digital memories that promote bias, exactly because of our approach to them as infallible. Therefore, regardless of human, digital, or object imprinted, memories can be seen as fictions of the past, introducing bias and narrative, and always open to a subjective interpretation.

L O C AT I O N S E T T I N G The case happened around the area of Salton Sea, a shallow and saline rift lake located in California, near Imperial valley on the west and coachella valley on the north.

It used to be a popular vacation spot, until the increasing salinity and pollution took over. Now, the shore line is famous for its bizarre environments of decay and nothingness.

INCITING INCIDENT The story starts with a police officer locating an abandoned car. The car belongs to Eileen Taylor, a 21-year old girl that has been reported missing.

BRIEF SOMETHIN’ ICE Fall Technology Seminar - UCLA AUD Location: Los Angeles, CA Instructor: Nathan Su Contributors: Chunsu Ouyang, Akash Ragde, Gesthimani Roumpani, Yanrong Yang Type: academic, research, narrative, storytelling, photorealism Dec 2019

The aim of this project is to examine how the value of art can be defined through documentation, exclusivity, and ownership, by fabricating a realistic fiction. Our team created Ice Bait, an ice artist based in Los Angeles, who installs large, signature ice cubes with unique orange figurines inside them, while maintaining her secret identity. Through so-

VIDEO TEASER

cial media presence (@ice.bait on Instagram) and posting pictures of the installations and the artist’s workshop, our goal is to tell her story through pure imagery. In this context, we examine art not as an exercise in skill, but in manipulating scarcity, maintaining a certain image toward the public, and establishing recognition through things being rare.

19

Revealed in a series of photographs, Ice Bait’s workshop / studio captures a sense of mystery that evokes curiosity about the process behind the making of the ice cubes. Although the ice we see is mainly on display, there are elements that suggest this is where the artist finalizes the detailing and stores her end product.

This glimpse to her workshop contrasts the secret identity of Ice Bait, and allows her followers to understand more about how she works and develop a sense of familiarity with the artist’s daily life. One can easily recognize similar elements among the workshop photos, suggesting this is all be taking place in the same room.

BRIEF FRAME OF AN EXQUISITE INFLATABLE Summer Studio - UCLA AUD Location: Los Angeles, CA Instructor: David Jimenez Iniesta Contributors: Jingyi Huang, Gesthimani Roumpani, Jingyi Wang, Xiaoman Zhang Type: academic, technological research Sep 2019

Starting with four famous sculptures, the first step of this project was to disassemble them and create a matrix of parts (kitbashing). Our group examined the relationship between deformed inflatables and an agglomeration of solids as a single frame, following the idea of an exquisite corpse. Therefore we combined the matrix parts following that strategy

and created a series of morphologies.

The aim of this course was the acquisition of a diverse skillset through a series of exercises on the aforementioned morphologies. The final documentation of the project includes drawings, animation, 3 VR applications, and 2 AR applications.

BRIEF MEDIA LITERACY CENTER Diploma Thesis - NTUA School of Architecture Location: Pyrgos, Greece Instructors: Sofia Tsiraki, Costas Caradimas, Irene Klampatsea Type: academic, large scale landmark building Nov 2014

Since 1997, the city of Pyrgos experiences a cultural outburst through the Olympia Film Festival every December. This project aims at permanentizing the effects the Festival has on the city, while accomodating all spatial needs for media education.

The impact of the Diploma Thesis has been immense on the local community. Its research basis and final proposal have been used as leverage for the institutionalization of the Festival by the Greek Parliament. As a result, in early 2018, the funding for actually erecting a media literacy center was approved by the Government and the Region of Western Greece, and I will be assisting with its design, due to my thesis’ extensive research.

The design emerged as a combination of contextual parameters, algorithmic parameters, and experiential knowledge of the Festival’s mechanisms.

BRIEF WATERFRONT ++ Urban design / studio 9 - NTUA Schhol of Architecture Location: Thessaloniki, Greece Instructors: Ariadni Vozani, Bouki Bampalou, Giorgos Parmenidis Contributors: Adamantia Karavasili, Alkistis Mavroeidi, Gesthimani Roumpani Type: academic, urban & architectural design Mar 2013 The aim of this project was to find a creative and viable strategy for a largely underutilized area of Thessaloniki, Greece, while developing & incorporating a typology of waterfront housing.

Identifying tourism as a great driving force for the city and inspired by the abandoned train tracks and commercial port of the area, our idea was to design a transportation hub, aimed at the revitalization of the area through its visitors. The study of this idea included parametric model experimentation

based on functionality and traffic density analysis.

The proposed housing strategy was also inspired by the industrial character of the area and promoted an alternative way of social living by blurring the borders between private and collective ownership. The operating basis was built upon other existing communal structures in Greek society. The several housing typologies were developed to accommodate students and low income families.

BRIEF N° 1475 - AIA SILICON VALLEY HOME TOURS 2018 Completed project - AWArchitect Location: Los Altos, CA Contributors: Gesthimani Roumpani, Kimberly Yee Head architect: Ana Williamson Type: professional, residential addition/remodel Completed May 2018

What started off as a small kitchen remodel, turned into a 424 SF addition and an entire remodel of the existing 3,478 SF three story house. With its East Coast Colonial exterior, this house has been a well-known landmark in its residential neighborhood of Los Altos, and the clients wanted to maintain the allure of its style. Regarding the interior, they opted for a modern, warm, family-friendly living space. Square footage was added at the Kitchen and Laundry / Mudroom on the First Floor and at the back of the house, to create a larger Master Bathroom and ensuite Bed-

rooms on the Second Floor.

The inside of the building envelope was taken down to the studs to allow for a clean slate of materials, for design and constructability reasons. Both flights of internal stairs were re-built with open rails, visually opening up the vertical circulation core. I was heavily involved throughout all phases of this project (SD /DD/Permit/Bid/CD/CA), as well as material selections and design customizations.

BRIEF SIX SENSES MYKONOS Completed project - ConceptBoarding Location: Mykonos, Greece Contributors: Domna Ioannidou, Gesthimani Roumpani Head architect: Domna Ioannidou Type: professional, hospitality remodel Completed Jun 2015

Six Senses Spas is a renowned spa brand with various locations throughout the world.

Designing their new branch in Belvedere Hotel, Mykonos, was challenging due to the traditional architecture and design restrictions enforced in the area. After identifying the most crucial issues in this design case, we decided on the best strategies to overcome them. From entirely re-designing the existing interior, to the custom design of each furniture piece, the approach was consistent with the brand’s, hotel’s, and local architecture’s values, aiming for the best customer experience.

Reflecting the traditional architecture of Mykonos, the spa’s decor features classic white walls and marble floors complimented by locally crafted timber features. Natural fabrics in the shades of Aegean blue and white together with soft lighting & skylights, work around the absence of natural lighting, and add warm highlights to evoke the serenity of the island.

My responsibilites included drawing set production, photorealistic renderings, and custom furniture design. All content belongs to Concept Boarding, unless otherwise noted.

BRIEF GHOST IN THE MACHINE - COMPETITION WINNER Public Installation - code:ART Palo Alto Location: Palo Alto, CA Contributors: Ben Flatau, Gesthimani Roumpani Type: professional, open competition (winner) Jun 2017 This project uses technology to challenge how an individual perceives and interacts with others within their proximal space.

Traditionally, we experience a space and our surroundings on a personal level. In contrast, this proposal allows users to experience space from another person’s point of view. In doing so, patrons step into the third person to examine themselves, their immediate surroundings, and their community as a collection of experiences activated by the general populace.

To achieve these goals, two suspended “clouds” are placed at a neglected arcade in downtown Palo Alto. Each cloud has a network of sensors and motors that morph

UNIVERSITY

The resulting installation allows citizens of Palo Alto to form a greater connection with one another through an understanding that we all participate in making a space, neighborhood, and community. Analogous to Gilbert Ryle’s use of the phrase in critiquing mind-body dualism, this physical demonstration of the “Ghost in the Machine” highlights our connection to one another in an interactive and tangible way.

BRIEF MID-CENTURY MODEST In construction - AWArchitect Location: Menlo Park, CA Contributors: Joe Gardella, Gesthimani Roumpani Head architect: Ana Williamson Type: professional, residential new construction To be completed May 2020

Preparing for their retirement, an older couple living in Washington requested that we design a California mid-century inspired residence in Menlo Park.

playing in the backyard, the modest design allows for direct communication of the main spaces where the grandparents will be (kitchen, family room, bedroom) with the rear.

The house consists of two main volumes that are distinct in both the front and the back.

Two roof planes define these volumes; one for the family spaces and bedrooms, and one for cooking and other utilitarian needs.

Under the guidance of Ana Williamson and Joe Gardella, I was able to design and lead the various phases of this new construction project, until I had to depart for graduate school. All content belongs to Ana Williamson Architect, unless otherwise noted.

MENLO OAKS IV CA ranch upgrade

75

project

BRIEF MENLO OAKS IV Completed - AWArchitect Location: Menlo Park, CA Contributors: Reiko Michlig, Gesthimani Roumpani, Kimberly Yee Head architect: Ana Williamson Type: professional, residential addition/remodel Oct 2019 The everyday obstacles of living with MS, convinced this Menlo Park couple that remodeling their house would bring them comfort and easier mobility. Despite the setbacks of a typical California ranch home, such as low ceilings and limited daylight, this remodel achieved a level of extroversion sought after by the clients.

A pool and a cabana were another addition to this project, that was finished with high end materials and cabinetry. Everything is

(photo by Ana Williamson)

custom-designed and tailored to the couple’s needs, such as the “disappearing” TV in the living room.

I started in this project with As-Builts and Schematic Design, and later returned to it during the Construction Documents and Bidding phases. Visualization for material selection was also part of my duties. All content belongs to Ana Williamson Architect, unless otherwise noted.
