Houses on curved line
academic project / supervised by Fani Vavili and Konstantinos Oikonomou February 2011
(RESIDENCE)
Course Description The object of this studio was the familarity of the students with the concept of living through a series of synthetic exercises that led to the organization of a set consisting of an individual space of concentration, an one-room residence and the main house of a family of four. Grade: 9.0 / 10 “Excellent�
One curved line runs the entire site, starting from the road on the entrance of the site. This curved line constitutes a path that connects the three buildings. ____Plan 3
____Plan 1
Elevation 3____ ____Elevation 1
In the site three buildings are created. One building of 20 m2 that is used as a library-reading room and is connected with the on-room residence of 60 m2 as the user of the library is the resident of the second house. The third building is the residence of 200 m2 and it is placed at the highest point of the site to take the advantage of the view and the altitude.

____Plan 2
Every time the curved line passes through a building, the building is divided into transparency and opacity.
Diffusion - Underground station
academic project / supervised by Stavros Vergopoulos in collaboration with Eleanna Breza July 2011
(XXL - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES) Course Description This design studio concerns with the use in architectural design of the new methods and techiques introduced by digital media and the incorporation of the potentialities offered by the latest information and communication technologies. Our concept was diffusion. After a research on the concept of diffusion, we conducted an experiment using ink and water. Next step was the simulation of the experiment on Autodesk Maya. The main purpose was to find mechanisms to control the process, mechanisms that would be used in the planning process. The final product design was the creation of a subway station. The project was completed using a combination of computational software including Autodesk Maya, Rhinoceros, Autodesk AutoCAD, V-ray for Rhino and Photoshop. Grade: 9.0 / 10 “Excellent�
diffusion
1. experiment using ink and water 2. the experiment on Maya fluids
according to the theory of diffusion, molecules tend to migrate from areas of higher concentration in areas of lower concentration
3. diagrams of forces, movements and concentration analysis of the phenomenon for identifying the mechanism. (what is changing - what influences - what remains constant) 4. dynamic diagram of the mechanism of diffusion. diffusion was interpreted as a move caused by repulsive forces between molecules-objects and is affected by the force of gravity.
5. isolation of the orbits of the spheres. 6. joining the orbits.
6. import of the context and modification of the model in accordance with this.

Tratsela Maria in collaboration with Kakolyri Thalia and Moutsokou Zoi February 2012
(LANDSCAPE DESIGN OF URBAN OPEN SPACES) Course Description The course was about the configuration of streams in Thessaloniki. It was a team project, in teams of three. My team was given the “Konstantinidi” stream. The main purpose of the course was the design of central free space in these streams (square, walkways, openspaces, public gardens, a unity of the urban web). We made an extended site analysis and drawings in 1:200, 1:100 and 1:20 scales. Our idea was to create four main areas of interest and to connect them by one main walkway. We took into concideration the natural landscape and we harmonize our design to the natural qualities of the area. The most important problem in the area was the pressure of the urban network to the natural landscape.

Define the flat areas and the areas of shadow and sun.
____Section A-A’
The concept was a joined effort by all three members. I designed many of the drawings and composed a number of final images. My work also included 3D drawings, rendering and editing, the constructions detail designs in 1:20 scale and the final presentation.

(NEGOTIATING URBAN BOUNDARIES-TRANSITIONAL PLACES)
academic project / supervised by Athanassiou Evie and
Christodoulou Charis in collaboration with Georgiou Efstratios and Katsaris Fanos February 2012
Course Description Theme of this project was the urban design of the west entrance of Thessaloniki. The deterioration seen despite attempts to highlight the area as the entrance facing a visitor from the highway and the contradictory building ‘orgasm’, compose a scene of intense coexistence and conflicts. The strong presence of the natural element with the transformation of the old railway station in a metropolitan park, consists an opportunity of integration of the green element in the urban fabric, which is now threatened by the construction activity and the pressure of the urban fabric. Grade: 10 / 10 “Excellent” __________Site analysis ____Physical and artificial boundaries
____Urban development pressures
New building envelopes, public open space and network of sidewalks and green space
Τhe schema of coexistence and contradiction, could be transformed in a schema of coexistence, integration and differentiation. Defining points of interest arising from the existing character and identity of the area and just 400 meters apart (distance traveled by foot in 5 minutes), a round closed route was formed, a form of ‘loop’ that unified these points. The natural element is transformed in ‘wedges’ penetrating the urban fabric and define the city front.
____Insufficient connection between the sub area
____Strong cultural identities and characters
New building envelopes
Music Park
diploma project / supervised by Nikolaos Tsinikas
(DIPLOMA DESIGN THESIS PROJECT) Diploma Thesis Description This diploma project refers to the creation of a Music Park in Thermi of Thessaloniki. The aim of the project is the creation of a new magnet to Dam of Thermi, a cultural center. Maintain existing use, ie the concert venue which is formed in an outdoor theater and also a building is added that houses a museum of musical instruments, a library of music, classroom of music and restaurant. The building is developed on five levels. In the ground floor one finds the reception and from there follows either direction to the two lower levels, which hosts the exhibition spaces and storage areas, either towards the two upper levels, which houses the music library, the classroom of music and restaurant. Across the southeastern side is used transparency in order to perform well on the view and also landscape and building to become one. By the same logic of union building-landscape, green roof is used in building. The aim is the design to fit into the landscape and to link harmoniously with it. So the design principles followed in the building continue outside of it, forming the outdoor amphitheater, giving a form beyond the classic form of the semicircular theater. Furthermore, the material used in the auditorium is wood with a structure that does not affect the terrain.
July 2013
_____The concept
____The Dam of Thermi is located 2km from the center of Thermi and about 20 minutes from Thessaloniki city.
____Near the site there is an artificial lake and a rich natural landscape.
The synthesis was based on an improvisation on movements that the strings of a musical instrument make. First, working on the movements that can make a chord in plan and then in side view. Movement can be infinite and improvisation to continue over time. Considering the scale, and the terrain, sometime improvisation freezes and the strings attached to the ground. Basically, the ground is what crystallizes the relentless experimentation with the strings, which is an abstract “mechanism” / tool. The plan with the side view are combined and the strings are given volume to form building. The resulting form is visualized respectively in plan view and in side view in the roof of the building. Then edificial adapted to this form.

(Lighting Design Project - M.Sc. Light and Lighting) The initial idea of the project was the combination of the old architecture of the building with the new lighting design. In every room the team settle on design targets. -Uniformity of light -Better levels of general lighting -Better colour rendering -Highlight the paintings -Highlight the architecture -Highlight the ceiling
Visualisation of the design proposal New light fitting and amount of light we wanted to achieve in each room. Standards: 50 lux on the paintings, 200 lux in general, 100 lux in the staircase and 300 lux on the desks are provided.
1. Chapter Hall
2. Old Chancery Visualisation and sketches with the distribution of light
4. Staircase
5. The Facade
3.Council Chamber
In every room we created different lighting scenes related to the event that takes place each time.
General lighting in which A daytime light scene where wallwasher lights are 70%, wall washers are dimmed linear 100% and LEDs 25% at 30%, linear downlights at 45% and linear LEDs switched off.
General lighting scene in which linear LEDs on the ceiling are 100%, the art lightings on the paintings at 5% and the linear LEDs on the vitrine at 10%.
A daytime scene with the linear LEDs at 55%, the art lightings switched off and the linear LEDs on the vitrine at 10%
Detail with the position of the wallwashers for the paintings.
Control plan
A general lighting scene where the dimming values are for wall washers on the paintings 30%, for the pedant downlights 100%, for the linear LEDs 60% and for the wall uplights 50%
A dinner lighting scene with wall washers dimmed at 25%, pedant downlights at 70%, linear LEDs at 70% and wall mounted uplights at 90%
Different scenes with different colour. The colour changes every time there is a different event on the interior of the museum
The luminaires in each room are set in different control channels. In Chapter Hall we have six different control channels. In Old Chancery we have four control channels. In Council Chamber four control channels and in the staircase three control channels.
