A few words about me... Through my years at the University, I experimented with different methods of designing, in order to answer in an inventive way to a client, a task, or a site. I learned to face a variety of demands and needs and design projects in different scales. Some of my studies involved around how the built environment affects territories that are increasingly becoming an arena of radical climatic changes, resource depletion, political/economic instability, and socio-spatial inequalities, such as water - related territories, mountainous and traditional or historic areas. The theoretical courses I attended sparked my interest in the cultural influences and the psychology of space that, later on, influenced the subject of my Diploma Research Thesis. I researched and studied the work of Psychiatrists, Philosophers and Writers and the way they percieve and describe space. My studies were mainly focused on the senses of “familiarity”, the safety and calmness that this sense brings to someone and on its opposite, the “Uncanny”. The loss of safety, the sadden concern for someone’s own existence, and how by carefully manipulating this feeling, the Uncanny can become a design tool in the hands of an architect, in order not to scare and create anxiety but to surprise, move and awaken the visitor. I believe that architecture is closely intelinked with the Humane Sciences and Philosophy and it is a way to shape the communities, to serve people’s needs, but also awaken and surprise them. It is a way to cultivate culture and be a reminder of the past. The contrasts of light and shadow, the indoors and outdoors, closed and open spaces as well as materiality are some aspects of architecture that I would like to explore furthermore.

Diploma Design Thesis July 2019 Supervisor : Ioannidis Konstantinos // kioannidis@arch.auth.gr Site: Pounda, Chalkidiki, Greece
The starting point of this project was my studies of the Uncanny and how it can become a sign tool, so that the experience of the space becomes more interesting. This defined a few parameters that could be associated with the sense of the Uncanny and became main guidelines for the design process. Such parameters were the contrast of materials, the contrast of light and shadow, he indoors and outdoors, and the unexpected scale alterations of the built environment in relation to the visitor walking through it. After collecting and observing photographs were such qualities were evident, such as cracks and tears in various materials; stones, floors, bricks, trees and walls I created abstract experimental models, that later on birthed the form of the building. The concept of the crack begins at the master plan level and defines a specific route on the island with constant alterations and also affects the relations of the two proposed buildings. The visitor sometimes has no visual barrier and can appreciate the view and all the natural elements. Sometimes, though, he is surrounded by tall stonewalls that shield him from the sun and limit his visual field. In the end of his path, a frame of the sea with the two buildings, luring him in on either side, is revealed to him.

02 | Office Building in Berlin 9th Semester Design Studio Fall 2017 Instructor : Sakellaridou Rena // ioanna.k.sakellaridou@gmail.com Team : Dermitzaki Iro, Vasileiou Anastasia Site: Berlin, Germany
This Advanced Design Studio focused on designing a large scale Office Complex for Axel Springer SE that was announced as an international competition in 2013. Axel Springer as a modern publishing company, wishes to emphasize its strong presence and passage in the digital age with an iconic building. The site for their new headquarters in Berlin is adjacent to the existing complex and has historical value as the Berlin Wall once stood there. The concept of our proposal was based on highlighting the connection of the proposed building and the existing one and the promotion of the activity of the company and its rapid growth as digital media. Thus, we started making a variety of physical models with 3 parameters in our minds. The first one was the pedestrian flow through the building that unites the existing headquarters of Axel Springer SE with the center of Berlin, the second was the representation of continuous flow of information through the different overlapping levels and the skin that wraps the building and the third were the principles of the company being realised through the four pillars that support the building and contribute to the flow of information. The new Axel Springer building has a very dynamic form, it lures the public to visit and explore it. The main â&#x20AC;&#x153;iconicâ&#x20AC;? characteristic of it is the arcade through which the visitors and the employees enter the building and then the atrium. Τhe atrium is the center of the building, it is the place that hosts public recreational activities and informational stands that draw the visitors into the world of this dominant publishing house.

03 | Mixed Use Building in Thessaloniki 7th Semester Design Studio Fall 2016 Instructor : Ioannidis Konstantinos, Tellios Anastasios // kioannidis@arch.auth.gr // ttellios@arch.auth.gr Team : Koukopoulos Foivos, Vasileiou Anastasia Site: Thessaloniki, Greece
In this Design Studio every team had to propose a mixed use building in a site near the New Railway Station of Thessaloniki. Our team firstly studied the spatial and architectural elements of the surrounding area and searched for information on the parameters that affect residents and their daily lives. After our first site visit, it became clear that the environment where we were called upon designing a building was very demanding due to its very complex social, economic and historical levels. So our question became â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; how do we highlight this complexity rather than trying to avoid it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This became our concept idea and we created our architectural vocabulary based on the different overlapping layers of this environment. In this vocabulary are represented all the functional, typological, conceptual and constructive aspects of this project. The aim of our strategic planning for the surrounding area was to upgrade the plot to a local center by unifying the terminal train station and the new metro station on the north and the future Jewish museum on the south. This was realized through a pedestrian pathway that crosses the plot and affects the form of the mixed - use building proposed.

Reuse of the Stables at Pavlos Melas former Camp
5th semester Design Studio Fall 2016 Instructor : Dousi Maria, Nomikos Michail // mdoussi@arch.auth.gr // nomikos@arch.auth.gr Team : Dermitzaki Iro, Vasileiou Anastasia Site: Former Camp Pavlos Melas, Thessaloniki
The aim of this Design studio was to develop an architectural proposal for the restoration and reuse of the stables in the former camp Pavlos Melas in Thessaloniki. The oldest part of the former camp dates back to the 19th century and in 2003 it was declared as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;historical placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as it is one of the first specimens of organized Greek camp. The buildings of the stables date after the 1830 and have been well preserved until a fire alienated significantly the walls and burned down the roofs of the three buildings except for a small part in the second stable. The stables are not declared as preserved monuments but are sited within a historic area. The former camp Pavlos Melas has recently been handed over to the Municipality of Pavlos Melas and its citizens and is proposed to become a metropolitan park. The pilot program for the reuse of the historic stable buildings was proposed by the Municipality of Pavlos Melas and suggests the reuse of the building complex as a unite of office - commercial spaces to promote youth entrepreneurship in the arts, culture and services. After carefully studying the history of the buildings and their surroundings as well as their pathology, our team started thinking how the flow of the people living and walking through the buildings has changed throughout the lifetime of these stables. We made an experiment on a physical model where we instinctively put threads through the buildings representing movement. As a result, we noted that where the threads were more dense is where the greek army had already made openings in the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to meet their new needs, evidence of the necessity of a direct transverse connection of the buidings, due to their change of use. The movement that our team proposes also constitutes as a link between the new and the old roof the remainings of which should be restored at the second stable. The design of the new flow starts at the masterplan level with route markings and nearby the stable A starts rising in order to slowly give a better view of the old roof of the stable B and then slowly lowers to the ground level after the stable C . The dynamism of this flow is also evident in the fact that where it comes in contact with the building it breaks the walls in order to come through and creates atriums that are functionally and aesthetically intergated in the proposed use.

The main guideline for this architectural proposal was the restoration and enhancement of the existing, as well as smoothly intergating the new uses. The walls are being restored on the outside as well as the inside and the brick walls remain prominent in the atriums of all the buildings. There, in recreational areas, people can observe and remember the past phases of the stables. The openings that the greek army had created later on at the stable A are maintained, however their original typology is being defined by the placement of the frames. The openings at the North and South views are filled with a brick wall in retreat and are being covered with cement mortar in a darker shade than the outside walls as an indicator of the old opening. Ultimately, this is a decisive and dynamic proposal, with respect to the historicism and authenticity of the buildings, without sacrificing its own aesthetic and architectural quality.

Residence in the mountains
3rd semester Design Studio Fall 2014 Instructor : Papadimitriou I. Spiros // sip@arch.auth.gr Team : Pavlidou Katerina, Ioakeimidou Stavroula Site: Not Specific
In this Design Studio each team of students was asked to study and present a building and especially highlight a unique feature of it. My team and I decided to study the Pachacamac Hill House of the Longhi Architects in Peru. As an interesting feature we noted the use of recesses as a way to bring the natural light in the interior. After the presentation we were asked to use this feature that we observed in order to start making some abstract physical models that later on became a component for the form of the residence. Our model study focused mainly on the different ways these triangular shapes can be used and be related to each other. The final proposal for this residence is in the highlands, on a site with a very steep slope. The building on the north, disappears into the landscape, but the rest of the house stands tall facing the sun and the view, on the south, thus, creating a contrast with the natural slope. The high ceilings and the multiple and large windows allow plenty of light to penetrate the interior of the house. The windows, though many, are camouflaged with a varrying rhytmic pattern, in order to create a more unified exterior, but also, provide interesting shadows and atmosphere on the interior. The main components of this design are made out of wood and accommodate the main functions of the house, in contrast with the use of concrete and stone walls on the rectangular area which serves as a passage. The entrance is made by descending a flight of stairs which creates a pshycological cave - like predesposition to the visitor and contrasts the framing of the view he sees, after he enters the residence. The distribution of the functions is very clear, as each volume accommodates a different one, placing the commmunal functions to the west, and the most private ones to the east.
