THE TOURKOVOUNIA HILLS AS AN INTERCONNECTING ELEMENT BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND CITY
DIPLOMA DESIGN THESIS PROJECT SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: PANETSOS GEORGIOS ACADEMIC YEAR: SEPTEMBER 2016 - SEPTEMBER 2017
The 45-hectare site that was selected for my design thesis is characterized by the image it evokes concerning the relation between city and landscape. The Tourkovounia Hills, now an abandoned quarry, are the most extensive hill range in the geographic center of the basin of Athens, and in their current situation act as a “no man’s land” between the western and eastern parts of the city. The aim of the project is the transition from this harsh contradiction to a seamless experience from the city to the landscape and vice versa. On the one hand, the development boosts the neighboring areas by introducing new housing typologies and public uses, and on the other it enriches Athens’ urban vocabulary, by creating a public space for the citizens and the necessary technology to support it. The study focuses on the analysis of the rocky, steep and deformed from the mining activity landscape itself, as well as its boundaries with the city. Thus, five qualities came up which led to the architectural planning and design of the space: the peripheral road network, the entrances to the site and the network of man-made pathways, the plateaus, the peaks, and the views towards the city. The project attempts to fill the urban void that the hills create and introduces a series of public and private uses to the city. Specifically, the project runs in three axes:
8
The first axis introduces a transit system which connects the public and private spaces to one another and both with the city. A cable car line, a terrestrial funicular, inclined elevators and an automobile tunnel are placed in addition to a network of streets and walkways in the effort to make the rutty landscape accessible and discoverable. The second axis creates a built environment comprised of housing and public programs. The new houses are placed in three zones on the border of the site, acting as an element of connectivity between the city and the landscape. The complex morphology of the latter and the mixed architectural vocabulary of the surrounding areas give ground for the creation of a variety of new housing typologies. In a further transition from the city to the landscape, a series of public uses are introduced, from leisure and retail facilities and public spaces for the community, to a Ferris wheel which provides a 360o view of Athens, as well as a hotel unit. The third axis aims to point out the qualities of the landscape by shaping two large gardens as public spaces for the city. Each garden takes advantage of the elements of the landscape’s vocabulary (views, peaks, etc.) creating a new one, by using widening, cutting and backfilling methods to the hills.

NEAPOLI-SYKIES 1ST PRIMARY SCHOOL AND GYMNASIUM
OPEN PANHELLENIC COMPETITION LOCATION: NEAPOLIS-SIKEIA, GREECE, ACREAGE: 2950 M2 ARCITECT: PANETSOS & RODI ASSOCIATES CLIENT: MUNICIPALITY OF NEAPOLIS TEAM: PANETSOS GEORGIOS (PRINCIPAL IN CHARGE), RODI ALKISTIS, ZOMPOLA THEONI, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS YEAR: JULY 2014 - NOVEMBER 2014
The main concern of our ‘Neapoli-Sykies 1st Primary School and Gymnasium’ competition entry was to respond to what the competition brief described as ‘symbolic (or representational) function’. We aimed at establishing a strong urban landmark / social condenser through the combination of an enhanced building programme and a memorable architectural form at the point where Neapoli – Sykies is most visible from downtown and greater Thessaloniki. Two main concepts are introduced: 1. ‘Programmatic mutation’ (describing the continuous mutation of the functions brief) and 2. ‘Compact layering’ (describing the massing strategy of the project.)
The building mass consists of a white stucco ‘protruding prism’ superimposed on a solid natural stone ‘compact socle’, following familiar vernacular precedents and, also, the Acropolis. The ‘protruding prism’ houses classrooms and a large double-height open-air cantilevered loggia commanding a magnificent 240-degree view, a memorable image for the complex. The ‘compact socle’ encloses several function rooms and disguises the huge volume of the gymnasium as a retaining wall. The new scheme, despite its size, has a smaller footprint of built and paved areas in comparison to its predecessor. As proposed, it fulfills high standards of ‘green’ design.
‘Programmatic mutation’ is fully achieved by the addition of an exercise-and-training room suite and several adjustments made so that the ‘programmatic mutation’ suggested be fully operative.

ATHENS ANAPLASIS
OPEN PANHELLENIC COMPETITION LOCATION: ATHENS, GREECE ARCHITECTURAL TEAM: CHAREAS ALEXANDROS, GIASSIA GEORGINA, LIAPTSI KATERINA, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS, ZOMPOLA THEONI YEAR: JUNE 2019 The proposal aims to heighten the center of Athens as an example of a sustainable metropolitan center. This is achieved through a series of layered interventions, which collectively compose an urban anthropocentric network referring to both the citizens and visitors of the city. The first layer of intervention concentrates on the circulation infrastructures. Taking into consideration the existing proposals, the circulation network is redesigned as to facilitate the pedestrian movement and by establishing the necessary infrastructures we ease the access of the people with disabilities to the center’s services. By implementing a new circulation plan, we aim to reduce traffic congestion and promote the car movement along the center’s peripheral avenues (e.g. Panepistimiou, Stadiou, Athinas and Pireos av.). In regards to the public means of transport, certain bus lines are been diverted due to the extensive proposed and existing pedestrianisation, and both the metro and tram lines are expanded according to the implemented plan. In order to accommodate the pedestrians in the center of Athens, a new mini bus line is established, using electrical buses that can move along both the streets bus lanes and the traffic calmed streets. Taking into consideration the existing proposal for the bicycle network, the proposal expands it into the city’s center.
In regards to green infrastructure, we propose the creation of a green network aiming to revive the empty plots of the urban environment, enhance the biodiversity, improve the microclimatic conditions and the heat island effect as well as create the idyllic conditions for the prosperity and well-being of the city’s inhabitants. A series of interventions is proposed, which weave through the dense urban grid. A green mosaic of different spaces and uses is established creating a unique experience to the users while at the same time it can expand to the whole city. The sustainable approach of the metropolitan center of Athens couldn’t be implemented without taking into consideration the contemporary technological means which can establish a profitable conversation between both the residents / visitors and the Municipality. Applications focusing on communication, renewable sources of energy, infrastructures, safety, transportation and maintenance of the urban green, create the idyllic conditions for an ever evolving city which prioritizes the well-being of its residents. The above strategies are implemented at the selected areas of intervention: Keramikos District, Varvakios Central Market District as well as Syntagma Square.
The next layer of interventions is reconsidering the land uses of both the ground and levels floor, aiming to rejuvenate the abandoned urban infrastructures, reestablish the residential uses at Psiri District, enhance the local trade markets and introduce new co-working spaces mainly at Gerani District. Our goal is the exploitation of all built infrastructures and empty plots as recreational spaces for the residents. 24

HARBOR HILLS
ARXELLENCE 2 - BY ALUMIL INTERNATIONAL IDEAS ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION LOCATION: THESSALONIKI, GREECE, ACREAGE: 400.000 M2 TEAM: GIOTAKOU ANNA, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS YEAR: OCTOBER 2020
The proposal aims to become an integrated cultural, commercial and lifestyle destination for Thessaloniki, in the place of a now neglected, post-industrial area, adjacent to the west harbor of the city. The development will accommodate new office and retail-oriented jobs, as well as jobs related to tourism and real estate, industries which are continuously growing in Greece. The two latter will play a key factor for creating a bustling new neighborhood, by attracting high-end residents and visitors to the area. The masterplan is influenced by the culture of Thessaloniki, which bears Greco-Roman and Byzantine heritage. One of its main attractions, the old wall, stands in ruins among the urban landscape, giving a unique character to the city.
These buildings facilitate mostly the parking garages on under and above ground levels but also act as the podium for the towers which are erected above them, and host the main building program. These are three office towers with a welcoming plaza in the middle and a residential and hotel tower on the edges of the longitudinal site. The guest is invited to the welcome plaza by a large portal which is used as an exhibition hall on the top floors. Each tower is cladded with an aluminum & glass skin, which features an exposed area, that hosts common or leisure areas, or areas with uses that stand out from the typical floor program. This “corrosion” intends to pay tribute to the history of Thessaloniki as a reminiscence to its old fortifications – the old wall.
A new, modern version of the old wall rises now on the west outskirts of the city, which intends to connect instead of divide. The urban grid which surrounds the site is extended into a new internal road network for the automobile, in the means to create five new attraction hubs. Each sub-area is erected into an inclined groundscraper with walkable rooftops accessible from 26th October st. and with views towards the sea upon reaching the highest points. 28

PAVILION OF CURIOSITIES
COOK8 INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION TEAM: ALEXANDROS CHAREAS, GIORGIS PAPANASTASATOS, GEORGINA VARTHALI YEAR: JANUARY 2018
Hestia In antiquity “Hestia” had a twofold meaning. In a non-physical level Hestia was worshipped as the goddess of house and family, her sacred symbol being the circle, the geometric element of centricity and stability. In a natural level Hestia, or more commonly “estia” was the core of the household, the fireplace around which the family and guests used to gather. The cause In architectural context, the pavilion is a space of rest and pleasure. It is a semi-outdoor structure which is either an extrusion of a larger building, or a free-standing structure which sits on an urban or natural environment. The proposal is a gateway pavilion, an interior space for the collective preparation and consumption of food around a center, an archetypal practice indissolubly linked with the arousal of culinary sensations. A ritual is created, where everyone can contribute and share.
32
The space In the pavilion, the core of food preparation and consumption are designed as a unity. The ritualistic quality of the center, transfigures into a happening, where the acts of preparation, cooking and sharing of food create a performance in the space. A heated, sandy surface which is placed in the center of the plan, allows for the simultaneous preparation of different meals, while the temperature is adjusted on how deep the utensils are placed in it. The core is surrounded by objects which serve supplementary uses, and are put in display, as expository items in a cabinet of curiosities. The items are framed by a frosted glass skeleton which emphasizes the innerness of the space, filtering the outside views. The spatial link between object-uses and the relation between indoor-outdoor environment shape a modern ritual on the altar of collective gastronomy.

PERSEPHONE’S ARK & GARDEN
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: SPANOMARIDIS ATHANASIOS TEAM: HOUSSEIN IASON, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014-2015
This course required the students to create a cultural hub, a reasearch centre as well as a public park in the city of Patras, Greece. The site, in its vast size, is located in the seaside zone and hosts a number of uses: an underused green space, an open space parking lot, St. Andrew’s church, the patron saint of the city, an archaeological site in the churches surroundings and St. Andrew’s railway station.
In order to access the garden, one needs to pass through one of the several entrance points, which are located in its periphery. The garden itself consits of a network of pathways and waterways between the built environment and the garden. As far as the architectural programme is concerned, a new railway station, a marina and a newly excavated archaeological monument are incorporated in the general scheme, along with cultural and research facilities.
The concept draws its inspiration from the chinese enclosed garden. It includes the creation of a garden, which sits in a lower level than that of the city, and a building complex, the so called “ark”, enclosing the first which blocks the garden’s view from the exterior environment.

EV-OLIVE-ING
EVOLO SKYSCRAPER COMPETITION OPEN INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION TEAM: CHAREAS ALEXANDROS, GIASSIA GEORGINA, GIOTAKOU ANNA, HOUSSEIN IASON, LIAPTSI KATERINA, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: PATRONIS YANNIS YEAR: 2014
Our proposal for the 2014 eVolo skyscraper competition, was the design of a prototype olive-processing unit. Our interest laid in highlighting the importance of olive and the leading role it plays for human health.
The building’s energy role draws inspiration from the olive tree itself. The coronation of the skyscraper is used to collect solar energy through solar cells, while its base sits underwater and collects power through hydroelectric energy.
Five units are placed in waterfront locations with edgy cliffs across the wider Mediterranean area, creating a network of commercial interest. The core of the building is formed along the z axis and plays the role of the production unit, based on the stages of olive processing. The top level is used as the insertion point of the raw material through a helipad, while the lowest as the export point, via a small port. Around the cyclindrical shaft, a system of glass fragments hosts educational or research labs and temporary dwellings.

ATHENS LIVING HILL
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: DRAGONAS PANOS TEAM: GIASSIA GEORGINA, PAPANASTASATOS GIORGIS ACADEMIC YEAR: 2013-2014
In this studio we were tasked to design a multifunctional building of co-working and public spaces, apartments and also incorporate an urban agriculture space for the residents. The site is located in the district of Elaionas in the city of Athens, Greece. The surrounding is a combination of light-industry buildings, warehouses, as well as modern apartmens and lofts.
Four vertical shafts disrupt the main volume and act as elements of insolation, ventilation and circulation. The roof is inclined in a way so that one can walk from the ground floor to the top and consists of agricultural beds, so that the residents can grow basic agricultural products.
The main volume of the structure is elevated and a public space is created on the ground floor which acts in a complementary manner with the public library and the restaurant. The first floor is an open plan co-working space and the residences are located in the upper levels in various dwelling typologies.
