HYPERBODIES Design Recearch
The proposal aims the creation of inhabitable spaces inspired from the body in order to by embodied by it, as a recursive process, and seeks for the analogies based on the secrecy of human existence. The project features a series of interlacing vaults, domes and spatial sequences providing space and ambience for a landscape museum and additional cultural activities. A constant repetition of ‘infoldings’ and ‘outfoldings’, enclosure and reveal, formation and deformation takes place. Hyperbodies refer to the materialization of these crucial limits and suggests inhabitable spaces where the inhabitant will be challenged to experience a phenomenological inhabitation of the flesh.

The proposal aims to highlight the special character of the area through the design and experience of space. side” and “above” them. The basic compositional idea is to establish a basic promenade that connects the different regions of the monumental ensemble. The character of the walk changes as it adapts to the particular character of each area and particularly in relation to the walls “inside”, “outside” and “above” them. The alignments of the walk follows the geometric characteristics of the wall, the terrain, and the surrounding city. At the area “inside the walls” the promenade goes along and in contact with the walls. Constructional Details

EKALI HOUSE Residential Proposal
The private residence in Ekali, was designed for maximum freedom of movement and flexibility. The house is divided into two distinct zones: An amphitheatrical upper floor, framing the expansive city views, and a transparent living area undernith it. A series of surprises playing with light and scale, the design exploits the tension between conflicting elements – opaqueness and transparency, intimacy and openness, curves juxtaposed with angular geometry. In contrast with the fluid interior, the external wall is clad in stone, sheltering the residence from the surrounding nature and it the same time framing it. Constructional Details

IN THE MUSEUM OF IMAGES Performance Proposal In the Motel Xenia
The design thesis “In the Museum of Images,” refers to the creation of a same title theatrical performance, at the abandoned motel “Xenios Zeus”, based on the story of “The Invention of Morel”, a science fiction novel by Adolfo Bioy Casares. The performance was designed with the intention to focus on the creation of theatrical space.The debate surrounding this intention, is whether it is possible to maintain the original moment, or a copy of it, which would constitute a detached representation of that moment.The Site of the project is located at the entrance of the Ancient Olympia City, at the Motel Xenia. built at 1966. Today after 23 years the building has become a ruin. This abandoned building serves for the project as a theatrical scene., through the reference in memory, serves to satisfy the basic theatrical need for the coexistence of real and imaginary space and time.

Cyprus News Agency Bioclimatic and Architectural Design
The new building of the Cyprus News Agency at Nicosia is part of a wider network of information flow and communication. The main cylinder is the node whichconnects the building with the global map. According to the energy regulations of Cyprus the building had to follow sustainability and bioclimatic standards. In the proposal, because of the use of big translucent surfaces around the building the glazing used for the windows is characterized by a very low U-value (1.2W/ m2K) In order to prevent the danger of thermal loss during the winter and the thermal rising during the summer, in combination with the proper insulation of the non-translucent elements of the building. Furthermore shutters carefully chosen and placed are used, so as to avoid the direct sunlight of the interior during the summer while it will be allowed in certain directions during the winter.

THE ENTRANCE OF ANCIENT OLYMPIA Site Map of Proposal
Urban Design, Design Proposal For The City Entrance
Kladeos River
The aim of this project was to design the entrance of the city of Ancient Olympia. Part of the design consists of sections that highlight a concept of continuity and a smooth transition from a natural unstructured region to the built urban landscape of the city.The designing method refers to the spatial and temporal sequences that are directly affected by the speed of the car while, quiet closer to the entrance of the city, the scale adjusts to that of a pedestrian walking through the urban landscape. A link, of all the design parts of the project, is a wall that represents the transition and the different scales someone experiences walking towards the city landscape.The wall hosts at its long length a variety of materials linked with urban and city life as well as a strip of light which symbolizes the Olympic Flame.

AUGMENTED SKIN Material And Fabrication Recearch
The ‘Augmented Skin’ project refers to the materialization of the osmotic surface of the skin. Augmented Skin proposes a costumised, low budget casting process for the creation of intricate objects and building parts. Stretching over an internal stick structure, membrane sleeves form a thin resin impregnated skin. This semi rigid, self-supporting tension system serves as formwork for concrete casting. The mould becomes part of the structure, providing building parts and objects with leathery, skin-like qualities. Taking into consideration the perception and role of skin in different times, it could be said that the skin of the project aims for an extremely constrained and thin skin that relates with the properties of medieval skin.

PARCO SOLARE SUD Landscape Proposal For The Soon To Be Decommissioned A3 Highway The emblematic A3 Highway is disconnected from Calabria’s local scale and coastal topography. The project brings local structures, organizations and flows back into it. It diagrams the surrounding territory from the point of view of the A3 Highway, using the ex-infrastructure as its projective lens and datum. FUTURE ARCHAEOLOGY. A series of point/diffuse interventions on the A3 infrastructure and territory transform it into abst ract field and object, devoid of meaning and function: no longer an operating highway, but a building site, open field, weathered ruin, open to opportunities. Rather than a masterplan, the project proposes a systematic methodology for transforming the A3 Highway into Solar Park South.

Urban Design, Proposal For The Refugee Residential Blocks Of Alexandra Avenue The project proposes the reuse of refugee housing in dormitories and defines a system of public spaces which gradually becomes less and less accessible leading to private residence.The public spaces exist: in the surrounding region such as small and large squares, at an entire building, which is running exhibitions, cafes and libraries, for both students and passers-by, and finally within houses appear small semi-private spaces. Rooms with functions such as living room and kitchen are released from the closed house and moved out of it while still inside and talk to the residents of 2-3 persons per room.The project gives to some parts of the buildings, at the old refugee houses, in-between character, semi-private as well as semi-public.

Furniture changes depend on user requirements such as ergonomics, flexibility, space saving and versatility combined with the aesthetic factor. “BO_st.ta.ch.” is a library that incorporates removable equipment such as two chairs, a small table and two stools that can be extracted and stored in the library with the assistance of handles from both sides. The library is made out of plastic that is molded to create sockets into where its equipment, which is also plastic, is being stored. “BO_ st.ta.ch.” is also designed with slots for wheels in order to be flexible and agile.

POLYKATOIKIA Residential Block Proposal
The site of the project is placed in the city of Patras. In front of the site there is a high traffic road which connects it to the centre of the city. The traditional purpose of the Greek polykatoikia is to host residences but the program of the project purposes an additional program, a spa. At each floor there are two apartments. A special system for the support of the apartments is introduced for that purpose. Four big concrete columns constitute the spine of the stucture. The columns cross, support, and become part of the equipment and the interior walls of the apartments.
