My graduation project concerned the design of “The house of wine� in Santorini. The project consists in designing a winery on the same location where old quarries once were placed on the outskirts of the village Oia, situated north of the Greek volcanic island Santorini. The quarries, a cultural landscape, are positioned right next to the town Oia and therefore they create a substantial height-difference which strongly demarks a boundary between the town and the remaining surroundings. This separation has a strong impact on the local landscape and for this reason I wanted to explore the ways a boundary can be transformed from a separating element to a connecting one; explore the boundary as an architectural concept. The attention is focused on ways that a landscape of great importance can be treated and even preserved.

The mass and the void become the medium to express this knitting, sometimes by adding material and sometimes by extracting material.
The public courtyard ends up through a tunnel, to a terrace, with panoramic view to the area-and all the punctal interventions on the landscape.
The public courtyard The open space -the public courtyard- becomes a unifying element, connecting the outdoor with the indoor area, accommodating public functions and uses. The idea of “community� revives again, and the building becomes the medium for this to be achieved.

> The shelter site: Aghios Nikolaos Lake | Crete | Greece
town
current situation The dominant landscape (rocks) and the difference in height, disconnects the lake from the upper part of the city. A reconnection is attempted through an urban fissure which instead of separating brings together two different elements. The reconnection is achieved through a processional route that ends to a shelter under the level of the lake.
Fragkaki Ioanna
TU Delft | MSc2 The Abri mentor: Bernard Olsthoorn
The urban fissure frames the lake, the connected port and the city and the visitor can experience the different views through the stairs that lead to the shelter
The lake of Agios Nikolaos has distinctive vertical walls, reminiscent of a volcanic crater, which is why some people believe that it was created by a sunken volcano. The idea of a bottomless lake creates the feeling of fear and awe to the visitor.
the visitor wants to be
not too close to the lake not too far away from the lake
"When we, from a safe distance, experience objects of nature expressing a force that it would be futile trying to resist, we regard them as fearful even though we are not actually afraid of those objects." Immanuel Kant
cross sections
At the beginning of the stairs the view is completely free and unblocked. The whole city appears, but as the visitor reaches the level of the lake, the view is blocked and the landscape is lost from sight. The re-appearance of the lake occurs inside the shelter, under the surface of the lake. The re-discovery of the lake takes place from a safe distance, not too far, not too close.

The aim of the project was the design of an extension for the department of Architecture of the Technical University of Crete, The existing building is a monument of the 19th century so my intention was to make a distinguishable "light" intervention in contrast to the monumental "heavy" existing building. In the current situation, the courtyard does not participate to the functions of the university and seems quite disconnected with it, despite its big size.

For this reason, a specified route throughout the whole length of the yard is designed in order to reconnect the indoor spaces with the outdoors. The "path" connects the entrance, the existing building, the courtyard, the new building, and unifies all the different atmospheres and qualities into one entity. A "klooster" is created on the main core of the courtyard, where all the buildings are developed around it. Even if this path seems as a gap, undesigned, it is a void that helps all the masses to be organized around it. Different views and directions create the grid of the path that goes through the yard.

The starting point for the establishment of a vocabulary, was the habit, the clothing of Catholic nuns, who were living formerly at the same building, the "St Joseph School". More specifically it was studied the way all layers are arranged in the body of nuns, the way they are transformed according to their activities and all the dipoles which characterize them such as: light-heavy | soft-hard | dense-coarse 5m

In design terms, all these successive layers were translated into a shell made of different wooden knitting densities and facades which give different qualities of light in space. The internal spaces transform in order to meet the needs of each situation.

> Social housing site: Heraklion | Crete | Greece Given a location at the centre of one of the most populated cities of Greece, Heraklion, and a list of specific programs to include, this project is an exploration of the ways public spaces can be successfully combined with social housing and greenzones. Moreover the interest is focused on the quality of each space and all the people using those spaces on a daily basis. More specifically, blocks of residential units are designed, a cafeteria, a hostel, a commune, a play room, p a playground, a cinema and lot of different open spaces and yards. u

Given an existing building envelope, located at the marine area of Chalepa in Chania, where a unique architectural complex of old leather processing houses is situated, a residential and studio space is designed. The existing building is taken into consideration, because of the its history. A new core is designed within the old shell, which allows the old building to keep living , age and eventually die.

For the design of the research station, we considered the daily program of a scientist, as well as the places they use during 24 hours of a day. Aiming towards an economy of space, the design team created a transformable environment, where spaces can collapse and expand, based on everyday needs. For example, when the crew members wake up in the morning, their sleeping equipment collapses within designated areas in order to create free space for the research or other activities. Furthermore, the crew has the option to create more research space, vertically, by using a scissors mechanism. The idea is guided by simplicity. A result, the station resembles a container and it can be easily transferred.

Transfer of units on site Every single unit can be transferred by helicopter, due to its small size, to the place of the settlement. Modules will be joined on the spot.
MODULAR UNITS module (scientist x 2)
modularity
joined modules(scientist x 4) The research station consists of modules, depending on the amount of people for the crew. Each module can accommodate two scientists, which is the minimum number; the two persons need to help each other in case of emergency, be able to work individually as well as in a team, and also feel homely. These modules can be joined in order to create a cluster. Joined modules can have a common place where the main entrances are enclosed. The material of this common entrance could be made from a plastic material, like nylon and it will close with a kind of zipper.
MODULE
In this project the aim is to design a small construction ergonomically solutioned. Initially the concept was to create a unit for each scientist in order to live and work in a small sized place, but because of the climate and the need of a human to feel safe in an “un-homely� place, we took the decision to create a unit for a group of 2 scientists.

> The (un)canny transformable "home" of today Fragkaki Ioanna
TU Crete | Diploma Theory Thesis mentors: Oungrinis Konstantinos Patsavos Nikolaos
Can the human of the twentieth century feel “at home” in a place which transforms and changes itself? Transformability, as much as multifariousness, can easily be observed in every aspect of the modern society but also in the life of every human being . In a society which constantly keeps changing the conditions of living for many people sharpen the sense of the feeling of the uncanny. Transformability in architecture tries to act as a regulator of the degree of intimacy that a person feels in his personal space. One of the questions of this Research Thesis is how can we define the human of nowadays, and what differences does «he» have compared to the human of the past centuries? In answering this question, we might be coming closer to a new definition of the human existence. This re-defined human existence acquires familiarity with machines and technological or artificial environments and at the same time may lose familiarity with other environments. The process of familiarization, the raise of the feeling of the uncanny requires further research. It is an issue that has been dealt with by psychologists and sociologists, as well as architects, who have attempted to define and have given various explanations during the last decades. This definition should be developed with simultaneous transfer of concepts from the field of psychoanalysis in the field of architecture. Finally, there is one more issue to be researched and that is whether the regulator we said above, transformability, can both create and maintain this familiarity and in what scale. Finally there are some factors that have resulted and that may be advisory, in order to ensure a sense of intimacy for someone in his personal space.
FACTORS After extensive reference to some of the factors that shape the degree of familiarity of a person-user with his personal space, an attempt was made to transfer them to the space. The criteria listed, have arisen from the study of psychology texts, which are then transferred to the field of architecture. There are many other factors as well, that shape the degree of intimacy of a person in space, but these do not arise from the field of psychoanalysis, which was studied in this research and therefore is not reported. The familiarity is measured on a scale from 1. the best , to 3. less desirable. The classification was done according to data collected from questionnaires in order for the results to be as objective as possible.
