1. CENTER FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH Rio, Patras, feb.-june 2013 University of Patras Faculty of Architecture
prof. Athanasios Spanomaridis with Andrinopoulos Dimitrios Gerardus
7
This project is placed in the historical location of the vennetian castle in Rio, Patras. Observing the dynamics of the area, the new Center for Historical Reasearch is based on the concept of creating five ‘gardens’, or five areas, each one with a different thematology. Those gardens are being drawn to the center of the project where they create the actual research center. Each area contains a seperate function: housing for the researchers, a museum for the exchibits of the historical area, a library, an amphetheater, an observatory, a small port. The center of the circular formation funcions as a ‘camera’ observing each and every part of the project connecting it all together both visually and in terms of form.

2. SECTION ON THE CITY: MUSEUM OF COMMERCE AND HISTORY OF THE CITY OF PATRAS Patras, feb.-june 2012 University of Patras,Faculty of Architecture
Tutor: Athanasios Spanomaridis with: Panigyrakis Phoebus Ilias
11
The project is based on the idea of a hybrid museum-research center-expo building. The research fascility concerns University of Patras graduates who can further work on their thesis projects and produce a realistic result, which is later exhibited on the expo of the building. The project consists of two lengthitudal buildings housing the research fascility and the expo and one crowning building which houses the museum for the history of commerce in the city of Patras. The design is dominated by a large strip of public space tearing though the Museum, which connects the city with the waterfrond.

3. METEORA: ARA HOME 2049 STUDENT ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION Sopenkorpi, Sweden, October 2012
with: Panigyrakis Phoebus Ilias, Xatziioakimidis Dimitrios Ronald
15
The theme of the competition was to propose a vision for housing in 2049 in Sopenkorpi, Sweden. Our main concern to create a perimeter around the nature and the social activities, led us to a circular structure, lifted from the ground in order to place a strict limit from urbanity and let the rural flow underneath. To intensify this effect Meteora is supported by limited pillars, half of whom occupy re-used buildings, also serving as vertical movement and access to the apartment area. The interior circulation is that of a continuous gallery enframing diverse views of the excluded city and the enclosed nature. Likewise, the faรงade can be observed as mixture of natural and urban fabric by the use of local wood and glass glazing. This integration underlines the strong influence of the city and nature.

4. HOUSE OF FAIRYTALES, IDEAS COMPETITION Odense DE, nov.2013 City of Odense
with: P.Panigyrakis, D.Andrinopoulos, A.Alevras and N.Michelis
19
The essence of fairytales lies in the act of narrating and the intimate human contact, the theatre is quite literary the ‘house of fairytales’. Nevertheless, the leading role is given to the public space, for architecture is considered here as the “theatre” where social life takes place and does not always depends on architecture’s theatricalization.

5. STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION CULTURAL CENTRE VISITOR’S CENTER National Student Competition, dec.2012 Stavros Niarchos Foundation
with: Panigyrakis Phoebus Ilias, Xatziioakimidis Dimitrios Ronald
23
This competition asked for a small, ‘smart-designed’ and ephemeral pavilion that could house a visitor’s centre overlooking the construction site of the SNFCC, the biggest project in Greece under development designed by Renzo Piano. We choosed to use a part of the prefabricated roof of the project that would be the last to be assembled to the building, completing it and signaling the end of the pavilion and the opening of the SNFCC.

6. MUSEUM OF THE ISTHMOS HERITAGE ‘20’ WALK’ international Festival of Architecture, Corinth GR, May 2014 City of Loutraki
with: P.Panigyrakis, D.Andrinopoulos, A.Alevras and N.Michelis
27
Nowadays a visit to the Corinthian Isthmos lasts hardly two minutes only in order to snap a picture for most of the passers-by, amongst dangerous runnign cars. The primal intention of our project was to prolong this visit, make it safer, more exciting and the main attraction of a greater development. We create a new Bilboard, a new identity for the Isthmos, in order for it to place itself amongst the most magnificent man-made monuments.
