Date of Issue June 2021 Central Idea
The aim of the proposal is the functional and morphological integration of what already appears to be a convoy for the study area and the overall complex. Building 3 incorporating in its shape the different geometrical engravings of the existing buildings is placed centrally in the largest countryside of the plot. The central idea is the creation of an articulated public reference area which starts from outside and penetrates the interior of the buildings forming transitional spaces of social interaction. It consists of the following parts: The square: spacious unified countryside that ensures a smooth transition to all buildings and surrounding pedestrian streets The café: a space of stasis and movement, in an enclosed position, delimits the plateau of two entrances to the buildings and filters the movements to and from the square The forum: linear semi-open space of relief resulting from the removal of part of the interior in building 3.

Final formation
The transformation of the industrial unit into a university space is treated as another construction phase in the history of the building. The outer shell is preserved in its current form, restoring masonry and roofs. The interventions are summarized as follows: conversion of linear core of building 3 into a semi-open space forum, restoration of the floor of building 3, creation of an atrium in the eastern part of building 3, addition of an internal courtyard and flexible and covered space in building 5.2 and creation of multiplexes in buildings 4 and 16. The study creates continuity between what existed and what is to be done, highlighting the legacy of the past and at the same time expressing a vision for the future.

Hippodrome on the sea front of city of Patras Location
Patras, Greece
Project Level 4th year, 8th Semester Type
Project for the architectural design class
Central Idea
In the context of designing a large-scale project on the seafront of Patras based on some electronic application, our idea aims at developing betting applications. The creation of the racecourse has a twofold importance for the city, first, entertainment through betting in real and virtual games, and, secondly, the restoration of the concept of the ancient years, so-called “church of the municipality”, which was a place of demagogy. The construction is mainly made of metal, having "alternative" stands, which consist of the set of capsules.
