INCOGNITO an investigation through media (concept art by Gesthimani Roumpani)

project

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 investigation, 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

FULL PREVIZ VIDEO

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.

SUBTERRANEAN TRADES a dark web allegory (concept art by Gesthimani Roumpani)

project

BRIEF SUBTERRANEAN TRADES Winter Technology Seminar - UCLA AUD Instructor: Nathan Su Contributors: Gesthimani Roumpani, Liang Yang, Ruohan Yang Type: academic, research, worldbuilding, short film Mar 2020 One internet condition: the dark web. One environment metaphor: the temple. The dark web is seen by most as a marketplace of illegal goods and services, this “underground” space one can only visit for satisfying their most dangerous desires. Therefore, its role as a “safe space” through the anonymity it offers is often overlooked. Journalists and witnesses navigate these unindexed pages in order to safely communicate with one another, not bound by the censorship of the surface web.

SHORT VIDEO

The sometimes confessional nature of the dark web draws a direct connection to the environment metaphor: the temple. Besides their imposing bodies, a common characteristic across temples is how they are organized in layers. Sometimes these layers refer to physical accessibility. Other times, the layering regards a stratification separating someone’s relationship with God. These layers remind us of the layered accessibility when it comes to unindexed web pages.

MEDIA LITERACY CENTER children in film-making

project

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 design emerged as a combination of contextual parameters, algorithmic parameters, and experiential knowledge of the Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mechanisms.

longitudinal section

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 thesisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; extensive research.

project

BRIEF NÂ° 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.

project

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.

GHOST IN THE MACHINE code:ART

project

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.

MID-CENTURY MODEST back to CA (photo by Ana Williamson)

project

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 Summer 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

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

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.
