Lida Barou was born in Athens in 1990 and finished her studies in architecture at the University of Thessaly [Greece] in 2014. Her passion to further explore architecture in terms of construction and detailing brought her to TU Delft [The Netherlands], where she graduated in 2016 with a MSc in Building Technology. Throughout these years, her interest, slowly but steadily, has focused on exploring the relation between old and new, in the context of restoration and rehabilitation. Industrial heritage is a field she has experienced with, through competitions, academic and professional projects. Her latest research focused on exploring innovative ways to restore and highlight our cultural heritage using glass a the primary restorative material. Using a holistic approach, her research aim was to develope strategies in order to use glass in a safe and protective way against weathering of monuments, while being minimally intrusive to preserve their aesthetics. Consequently, glass is a material she has extensively studied, including prototype manufacture and validation experiments. Innovative materials, design for disassembly and connectivity are aspects of the design and construction she also enjoys to study.

Transparent Restoration The common ground between restoration practices and structural glass technology is investigated, as a new design tool to highlight our built heritage; a distinguishable, yet discreet restoration approach. Transparency is introduced by means of structural glass in an attempt to reinstate the image of the monument, allowing for a simultaneous perception of both its original and ruinous state. The design focuses on a new glass faรงade, as a restoration treatment for the case study of a half-collapsed tower, located in Greece. Cast glass units are suggested in respect to the existing masonry construction techniques and the aesthetics of the original structure. In order to attain a reversible solution, as suggested by the restoration guidelines, dry connections are proposed in combination with interlocking geometries for the glass units, ensuring the overall stability.

Restorative Glass The “transparent restoration” approach is examinedon the case of one of the olderst tower in the Netherlads: Hoeve Lichtenberg, in Maastricht. The previous restoration treatments are evident on the façade of the building, where a variety of materials are introduced (marl, brick, millstone grit, flint). A large crack on the main façade is kept together with steel beams and tension rods, which impair the aesthetic of the monument. Glass is suggested as a discreet but strong material in order to consolidate the tower by filling this gap. Following the physical zoning of the façade, three types of cast glass bricks are introduced, to form a cast glass masonry. The interlocking geometry of the glass bricks maintain the overall stability of the glass structure and consolidate the monument by counteracting the wind loads and the movement of the soil, which is responsible for the crack growht.

Re3 Glass A reduce/reuse/recycle strategy Despite the fact that glass is fully recyclable, most of the glass currently employed in buildings is neither reused nor recycled due to its perplexed disassembly and contamination from coatings and adhesives. The prevailing float glass industry does not allow for glass waste recycling due to the very high quality standards. Due to its large cross section, cast glass can tolerate a higher degree of impurities, without compromising its mechanical and physical properties, and could be the answer to re-introducing this glass waste in the supply chain. A threefold methodology and guideline is suggested for the sustainable application of structural glass in buildings according to the following steps: 1. Recycle different glass recipes in cast glass components, 2. Reduce by implementing smart geometries in the form of cavities and notches, reducing not only the required raw material but also the overall embodied energy, 3. Reuse by designing dry-assembled interlocking components which can be reconfigured many times and in different contexts before they are remelted again.

strategy
The smart geometry of the cast unit ensures the required raw material needed controlling, in such way, the overall embodied energy. The size of the units is kept small [under 10kg] in order to allow for fast production [less cooling time] and easy handling during the construction.
28
Different glass recipes [windows, bottles, kitchenware etc.] are melted together in cast units, which will be further used as structural components. Mixing different glass types bears higher risks if inclusions within the units. However the large crosssection allows for such imperfections
The interlocking nature of the connection between the glass elements ensures the

properties of the glass.
The dry assembly suggests the use of a transparent interlayer to prevent the hard contact between the glass components and prevent the peak stress concentrations. In this way we can retrieve our glass units intact and re-assemble them in a different context, extending their lifetime.

Different component typologies are developed and assessed in terms of mechanical interlocking capacity, mass distribution and ease of fabrication. The most promissing concept [Type A] is further tested in compression to examine the stiffness of the plastic interlayer and the post-breakage behaviour of the glass structure. The small column can withstand almost 6.5 tonnes retaining its shape even after breakage.

Winery at the Tatoi Estate rehabilitation and revival of the wine-growing activity
A contemporary wine production unit is established at the Tatoi Estate [Attica, Greece], as part of the rehabilitation of an entire building complex into a dynamic touristic destination. In respect of the former agricultural character of the site, the existing buildings are restored and function as exhibition halls, information centre, wine museum and accommodation centre. The winery follows the principle lines of the vineyard in a minimal intervention. The building is harmonically integrated in the landscape and offers unobstructed views to the surroundings, while the main production line is located underground. The proposal combines old and new structures into a multifunctional unit, reviving a place with great symbolic and historic embedded values.

Aquaponic Integrated Facade
A modular faรงade is designed based on the principle of circular metabolism, according to which, no materials are wasted but are fed back to the production process. An aquaponic system placed on a faรงade, could not only save space, but act as a climate filter protecting the building from the elements and regulate the indoor environment, exploiting all the benefits of a double-skin faรงade. It functions as a showcase with an educational character towards the awareness of urban farming methods.

Everest Prism
Between 70,000 and 100,000 visitors descend upon Mount Everest each year resulting in huge loads of waste to contaminate the water and put in danger the local communities. A self-sustained shelter is designed to house the cleaning groups of Sherpas [inhabitants with climbing skills], always in respect of the extreme climate conditions. Aspects of structure, climate and envelope are explored. A prism inspired by the tents commonly used as accomodation in such landscapes is the main design principle, taking advantage of the local energy sources to generate power and create a coherent structure integrating both technology and aesthetics.

Rehabilitation of “Matsaggos” tobaco warehouse into University The proposal is based on the mild interventions’ philosophy concering historical buildings. The main preservable elevations are fully restored. A secondary steel skin is added to the elevations facing the uncovered area, which incorporates the firebreak stairwell and acts as a sunshade filter. The internal partitions are low enough to permit the optical continuity, a characteristic of an industry’s single spaced organization. The tranformation of the Matsaggos Portico and the Makedonomaxon Street for pedestrians’ use only, is significantly important for the access and the general function of the assembly. Three interior atriums provide natural lighting and ventilation to the public interior spaces. Sustainable strategies are dominant in the design from the initial concept to the final structure.

virgõ Virgo constellation is giving shape to the observatory houses of Roccascalegna as a living memory of the “Jus primae noctis” law established by the Baron Corvo de Corvis in the 16th century. Obliging every newly-wed bride to spend her first night with the Baron, the law left a deep mark in the imagination of the people until the day that a young virgin gave an end to it by stabbing the Baron in the heart. The guest houses are placed according to the virgo constellation (visible when one is looking down from the castle to the north) creating a profound connnection between the memory of the past and its narrative to the present. Elevated on the level of the trees (+5m), the houses do not interfere with the natural landscape and enable the visitors to wander around the forest. In respect of the spherical shape of the stars, each house is developed around a central core, which appears bigger or smaller according to the needs of the user. The terrace of each unit serves as an open-air observation point offering unobstructed view to the celestial dome.
the pursuit of memories The logo against Alzheimer’s disease is a result of 3 design elements, intertwined in a flowing and balanced way: A+D The initials A & D (Affetti Da) give the general outline of the logo, unfolding as one single line connected in the centre with a strong bond, equivalent to this between the members of the association and the families of the patients. The result can be interpreted in 2 ways, vertically as the initials and horizontally as a brain. Brain The shape of the brain is related to the Alzheimer’s disease.
Type C - observatory house
Maze The maze, one of the most resonant archetypal symbols of humanity, does not only mimic the structure of the brain itself, but resembles the way people with dementia encounter their surroundings, the sense of being lost and in a continuous pursuit of what is missing: their memories. The inconsistent walls of the maze imply that it is in a changing status. As the maze increases with the deterioration of our health, having more and more obstacles on the way to regain our memories, it can also decrease, with the support and expertise of Affettida.
