MARITIME KNOWLEDGE CENTER OPEN ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION LOCATION: RANDABERG, NORWAY
YEAR: 2014
A new center is formed about aquaculture, coastal care and maritime industry next to a small harbour in Tungevügen. The norwegian landscape with the surrounding sea is the first focus point in the area, and the existing lighthouse indicates the close relationship with marine culture. The building shall include the exhibition and information area, but also workshop and conference facilities that can be easily divided and work together as well. The architectural expression is inspired by traditional Nordic boathouse, which with their simple idiom always managed to fit in a maritime context. With respect to the natural surroundings and keeping close to the human scale, the new museum finds a balance between see and land, between maritime history and contemporary architecture. With strict restrictions in height and volume mass, the whole complex is formed out of multiple boathouses. Three volumes bend and cross each other to orientate towards the lighthouse, the sea, the landscape and to fit the required program. In the in-between space, they form either a double height exhibition space or the museum’s atrium to offer natural light and ventilation. The wooden construction features big glass openings to embrace the nature, to offer different views and multiple entrances.

ARGO SHIP MUSEUM OPEN ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION - HONOURABLE MENTION LOCATION: VOLOS, GREECE
YEAR: 2014
A museum in the port city of Volos in eastern Greece to host the replica of Argo, the legendary ship on which according to Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts sailed to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The site in the city of Volos is cut off from its close surroundings. However, it is part of a linear zone areas of public functions, the park Champ de Mars , Exhibition - Athletic Centre and the Polytechnic School . This zone can acquire their way into the center of the city of Volos, offering significant potential to enhance the area. The main exhibit of the proposed museum, the reconstructed ship Argo, is a highly symbolic and historical artifact. The particularity of these symbols and the complexity of the construction of the modern reproduction, mandates the creation of an environment that brings out them without undermining its significance. Main synthetic aim was to design a building without morphological references and structural tensions, to highlight the importance of standing centrally exhibits, a shell for Argo. The building is expressed as a simple geometric prism. From the main volume of the mass portions are removed, creating a series of internal courtyards through which the natural light penetrates to selected areas. In this compact volume which is intended to protect the basic showpiece, openings targeting selected viewing points of the city, the park and the sea. Those strategies create a continuous alternation of closed and open space that meets both the needs and the nature of the museum.

UNDERWATER ANTIQUITIES MUSEUM INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION - HONOURABLE MENTION BEST PROJECT AWARD DOMES MAGAZINE 2014 LOCATION: PIRAEUS, GREECE
YEAR: 2012
Redesign of the existing cereals’ stock house building facilities (SILO) and its surrounding open space into a Museum for Underwater Antiquities and Regeneration of part of the Piraeus Port Authority (OLP) Coastal Zone. The proposal’s goal is to create an experiential space that stimulates the visitors’ senses through their exploration in the museum’s interior. The design of the museum was based on the interpretation of the museological preliminary study and its adaptation by locating the permanent exhibition space within the silo complex. The six sections of the exhibition concern two separate topics: the first five refer to underwater antiquities, while the sixth one is related to the silo building and its original use. This distinction is increased by developing the sixth topic throughout the rest exhibition, rather than remaining strictly separated. The design concept is that the visitors’ circulation in the museum follows proportional the function’s route of the original use of the building.

CULTURAL CENTER THESIS PROJECT - GREEKARCHITECTS.GR AWARDS FINALIST LOCATION: ATHENS, GREECE
YEAR: 2013
The thesis project is about a cultural center on Klafthmonos Square, located in the city center of Athens, Greece between major public spaces. In the process of analysis, the character of the city”σs wider historical area was studied as well as the overall fabric of it, historic, urban and architectural. Our goal was to come up with a building that could be part of a city walk, a type of indoor public space, where cultural uses could serve the purpose of socializing.. In urban scale, the main concept was the diagonal junction of the two nearby squares through the site. Aiming to vitalize the whole area the new passage activates the site and accomplishes the start of the ascent into the building. In the specific block the adjacent buildings also incorporate cultural uses, such as a museum, lecture and concert halls as well as a movie theater. So we propose the cooperation between the existing organizations and the new cultural center in a united cultural pole. The building comprises of three autonomous functional modules. (a) the underground, where a projection room and temporary exhibitions space can be found, (b) the extended ground floor with open offices for educational programmes and (c) the main upper volume of library. The result is a flexible and multifunctional space, both for the residents and the city visitors. A “center” used in everyday life, active member of the public spaces of the city.

UPDATING THE CITY BLOCK ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & URBAN STRATEGY - 9TH SEMESTER LOCATION: ATHENS, GREECE
YEAR: 2010
The project regards a block reform in Keratsini, a deprived urban area of Athens, near a central square and a small park. Our intention was to unite the public spaces of the area through the site, forming a single route. By creating two major plateaus, which define passages around and through them, access from all levels of the block is permitted to the site. The three levels of the ground floor incorporate all public functions so that the housing is developed in the upper levels. The public part includes both commercial uses such as shops and offices, and cultural functions such as a multipurpose hall, a library, a museum, youth clubs and community workshops. For the upper housing levels we were very concerned about the right insolation and ventilation of all houses, and therefore a slender building is designed. The main objective was to combine the various types and sizes of houses in an airy building, where residents can use the open spaces between houses for gatherings. Access to housing is made via open corridors and a secondary system of vertical movement.
