alpine shelter ARK.revisited ACADEMIC PROJECT - 2014 FALL - HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN HOUSING IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS - OPTION STUDIO SUPERVISORS: SPELA VIDECNIK & ROK OMAN
ALPINE SHELTER or NOAH’S ARK This shelter is conceived as a solid, compact structure with the ability to sustain life in the most extreme of environments, not unlike an ark. This ark | shelter, situated on top of the Slovenian Alps, provides a safe haven during night or extreme environmental conditions to mountaineers. INTERIOR The shelter is anchored on the mountain. The interior is organised in an amphitheatric way for two reasons. First, the amphitheater is a social space, where hikers sleep, store their belongings, eat and socialize. Second, the entire bivak is a window- a viewing point, and observation deck, that opens up to nature and offers views both towards the mountain and towards the sky. CONSTRUCTION The shelter is a cantilever construction. The amphitheater hangs over the cliff. The separate parts are transported to the site by helicopter and assembled on site.

housing in extreme environments HOME AWAY FROM HOME ACADEMIC PROJECT - 2014 FALL - HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN HOUSING IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS - OPTION STUDIO SUPERVISORS: SPELA VIDECNIK & ROK OMAN - GROUP: MYRNA AYOUB, NADIA
This project evolved from research about Alaska and its rich heritage of fishing; its effect on the growth of cities and the economy of the state. The proposed site of Unalaska and Dutch Harbor is the number one commercial fishing port in the nation. In a city with the population of 4,200 there is a total of 36,000 enplanements. Due to the constant large influx of seasonal workers during the fishery seasons, this project proposes a housing project that instills a new way of living for seasonal workers. The city of Unalaska is currently undertaking a housing initiative and the need for increased quality and affordable housing is of utmost importance for the city. The goal of the proposal is to create a development that could be easily constructed and transported to such a remote location. The unit is adopted from the original bivak studies creating an amphitheatrical interior unit out of a half shipping container. Each container is connected by a joint, which acts as the communal space for the workers. This system is explored in two developments: A sloped mountain overlooking Dutch Harbor and a flat site adjacent to the main city center. The aggregation of these joints and units explore spaces that provide a connection with nature through beautiful views and create courtyard pockets for various programs. These supplemental programs serve as spaces of interaction among the seasonal workers and locals as a means of blurring boundaries between the populations. These interactions promote communication, tolerance and an understanding of culture. The aim of this development is to create a home away from home for these often displaced seasonal workers; a home of comfort, quality and community.

KIFISSOS.2020 DESIGN THESIS - SPRING 2012 - URBAN PARK SUPERVISOR: YANNIS AESOPOS SCORE: 9.8/ 10 EXHIBITED: CMA | EDU : THE 2013 EXHIBITION CELEBRATING DESIGN TALENT IN MEDITERRANEAN SCHOOLS OF ARCHITECTURE PUBLISHED: GREEKARCHITECTS.GR, E-MAGAZINE ,CMA| EDU EXHIBITION CATALOGUE , HTTP://CMA-EDU-2013.BLOGSPOT.GR, WWW.ARCH.UPATRAS.GR
Object of this diploma thesis is the river of Kifisos, which has a length of 20 km and runs through the Attica basin. In Kifisos one can observe all the phases of development of the urban landscape at the expense of the natural. The five regions that were studied specifically are indicative of these different phases. The Kifissos is the main river of the Attica plain. The large main spring, the famous Kefalari in Kifissia produced 400 cubic metres of water per hour up until the 1950s. It no longer exists as such but spreads through the Midwestern part of the Athens River Basin. Just before the estuaries, the Kifissos takes in water from the other ancient river in Athens, the Ilisou and flows into the Ormo Phalirou at Nea Phaliron. In ancient times the area at Peristeri was a part of the famous Athenian olive groves, where the Kifissos flowed. It was rich in flora and fauna, with ducks, wildfowl, fish, frogs, foxes, tortoises, owls, hares, various semi-wild animals and all kinds of plants. Pausanias says that the river was fished for eels and even in recent times, up to the first post-war years, people would swim in its waters. A large section of the Kifissos River has suffered serious interventions such as fires, construction works, waste-dumping and public works. From Patission up to the estuary the watercourse has undergone major flood-prevention construction works. On both sides of the river major roads have been built to serve the capital city, as well as a part of the national road from Athens to Lamia. At the last part of the river’s journey at Kolokinthou it has been completely covered by the new road network because of the smells from the industrial waste which is emptied into the river, particularly during the summer months when the river was drained.

This strategy organizes the four elements that define the relationship between river and city/ built and unbuilt urban environment: the green, the aquatic element, the connections with the city and the programmatic redefinition of each region.
NETWORKS
However, this growth is not associated with a romantic return to nature, but instead it follows the pattern of urban development of the city in every region, reinterprets it and repeats it. The new landscape that arises tries to solve the problem of the city, by immitating the mechanisms that produced them in the first place. The main question that this thesis attempts to approach is the following:
URBAN DENSITY
“When human activity is responsible for the order of things in an urban environment, then is a static architecture proposal capable of changing the image of the urban landscape; even more, is design really capable of changing the mentalities that created this city?”

RESEARCH.THESIS THEMED ENVIRONMENTS FROM THEME PARKS TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE CITY FEBRUARY 2012 HARDCOPY PUBLICATION, 21 X 21CM, PAGES: 171 SUPERVISOR: YANNIS AESOPOS
The urban space of the contemporary capitalistic city is formed by several factors, the most important being the influx of private capital and the inevitable privatization of [the once] public space. Such phenomena, quite common in the USA during the late 80s and 90s, have been arising recently in the post- Olympics greek city. Indeed recent years have witnessed the emergence of a wholly new kind of a greek city, a city without a place attached to it. Three specific characteristics mark this city; The first is the dissipation of all stable relations to local physical and cultural geography, the loosening ties to any specific space. A second characteristic of this new city is its obsession with “security”, with rising levels of manipulation and surveillance over its citizenry and with a proliferation of new modes of segregation. Finally, this new realm is a city of simulations, television city, the city as a theme park. The historic has become the only complicit official urban value and the urban design is fully preoccupied with reproduction, with the creation of urban disguises. This new city in many ways resembles and follows the tactics of a theme park, its’ space embodies it all; the ageographia, the surveillance, the simulations without end. It’s a happy place, a familiar place. The visitors are requested to forget all about the real world and hapilly consume. The theme park is above all a safe place, a substitute for the democratic public realm, that is usually troubled by crime, poverty, dirt, power abuse. This research thesis is an attempt to describe the contemporary commodified urban environment and its relation to the theme park industry. From Connie Island to Anaheim, California, from Medieval Funfairs to Festival Marketplaces and last from the USA and China to Greece, this thesis investigates the society that would rather live in a themed environment, instead of a democratic public space. According to Michael Sorkin:
The effort to reclaim the city is the struggle of democracy itself. presented:

URBAN.PIERS PARK ACADEMIC PROJECT - 2011 SPRING URBAN PARK - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 8 SUPERVISOR: YANNIS AESOPOS TEAM: PERLEPE KONSTANTINA, SPILIOTOPOULOU AGGELIKI
During our 8th semester, we were asked to design an urban park, for the city of Athens as part of Design Studio 8 | Introduction to Landscape Urbanism. An urban park that serves as a bridge above Attiki Odos Highway, the main highway of Athens. Such a park is required to merge the gap, to connect two facing neighborhoods and provide solutions for both of the previously alienated communities, thus healing the wounds of the urban tissue of the contemporary metropolis, caused by the violent construction of urban highways. Our proposal focuses around two major points. First, it’s of the greater importance to us to establish a new kind of relation between the two opposing neighborhoods. The programs incorporated in our solution should deflect the different character and needs of each area- making it possible for the different populations to interact with the highest efficiency. At the same time, this park should provide a a meeting point to the families of downtown Athens. We propose a linear park above Attiki Odos at Vrilissia. The character of the park is local, addressed to the neighborhood and hosts programs that there is a lack of. It has five anchors, in the form of platforms. These 5 platforms are essentially the only lateral accesses to the park area and accommodate the different functions of the park and its’ public spaces. The park is a 3 levels structure, depending on the traffic intensity in the region. Where the park meets highways, it rises, where the traffic is low, it is situated on the ground level and at specifics areas it descends to offer views of Attiki Odos. While the park is depicted as urvan wilderness, the “piers” form an artificial connecting ground. On that ground the two neighborhoods meet and connect over various activities.

HOW TRAFFIC CONTROL CREATES A NEW TERRAIN
programmatic complexity
The new park of Vrilissia is an ondulating terrain that moves according to the surrounding traffic. Where the traffic is dense the park floats 5m above the street level. Where traffic is low the park is found on ground level, while where the highway permits is, the park sinks -3.5m, revealing magnificent views. The vegetation on the park differs according to the height. Herbs and low vegetation are found on the park “hills”, trees and thick grass on the “forests” of ground level, water pools on -3.5m.

a.museum IMAGES OF BROKEN LIGHT ACADEMIC PROJECT - 2010 SPRING ASTRONOMY MUSEUM - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 5 SUPERVISOR: A. SPANOMARIDIS
During our 6th semester we were asked to design an astronomy museum. Our main design goal was to create an astronomy museum that invites the visitors to re-discover the universe of astronomy and overcome the linear logic of everyday urban life and environment.The museum is actually a box, a rather ordinary volume, inside of which extraordinary white fragmented volumes can be found. The visitors have the opportunity to either study the permanent exhibitions hosted inside the white volumes or tour the ground level where the periodic exhibitions take place.Reeds, that already exist in the lot, break into the building. During night-time the museum is illuminated from the inside- while its’ semi translucent façade allows those strange images of broken light to be seen from the city. The museum operates daily after sunset and offers a unique experience to the visitors, who can either visit the exhibitions or dine at the restaurant. It also contains a mediateque, a store, cafeteria, a library and an auditorium. It’s a highly educational experience and invites old and young to experience the mysteries of the universe. The main idea behind the project was to leave the ground of the plot as untouched as possible, as it hosts rich vegetation in the form of reeks. At the same time, the need for an environment that communicates at night and excites the imagination of the surrounding city, led to the creation of a universe of weird objects enclosed in a box. This box is mainly a semi transparent skin that allows the light to pass through and create the feeling that one is is in open space. Inside the cubes the visitor encounters the permanent exhibitions, the ones that narrate not only the the history of astronomy but also basic facts of the science. Through projections and audio visual exhibits inside the odd cubes the experience of the science is complete. On the ground level, the visitor encounters temporary exhibitions, ateliers, an auditorium and a library and mediateque. This level is also a public space where the city meets, either to see the exhibits, visit the library, drink a coffee at the cafeteria or enjoy a gourmet dinner in the after hours. design studio 6 | introduction to MUSEOLOGY

LANDSCAPE.LOGISTICS RECLAIMING ELEONAS: THE URBAN ENCLAVE OF ATHENS 3RD ATHENS WORKSHOP- 5-15 JUNE 2012 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY SEEGER CENTER FOR HELLENIC STUDIES AND SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE.UNIVERSITY OF PATRAS DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE SUPERVISORS: M. CHRISTINE BOYER, PAUL LEWIS, YANNIS AESOPOS, PETROS BABASIKAS WORKING TEAM: PERLEPE KONSTANTINA, TRUDY WATT
The 3rd Athens Workshop “Reclaiming Eleonas: The Urban Enclave of Athens” is dealing with Eleonas, the city’s ancient Olive Grove, an extended formless, undefined, often invisible area, characterized by environmental and infrastructural decay, located only two kilometers west of the center of Athens. The area is extremely hard to navigate and visualize from the ground and does not offer evident or accessible architectural vantage points, obvious analysis methods or intervention loci. My team was requested to investigate the landscape of Eleonas and come up with a specultive proposal conserning the identity of contemporary landscape in this terain vague. Our proposal for the “reclaiming” of Eleonas is a fleet of mobile landscape units, which can act alone or, more probably, in collaboration with one another. These fragments of landscapeecho the current dispersed, discontinuous and disorienting condition on site while creating a new neighborhood attraction and logic of circulation. Given the condensed time frame of the workshop, we will operate under certain assumptions: (1) that there will be one, new municipality of Eleonas, (2) that there will be an expanded and more accessible network of roads and (3) that there will be an increase in residence in the area. This proposal takes advantage of the existing infustructure, such as the industries of the site and the Agricultural University of Athens. Instead of an industrial landscape we propose an industry of landscape, where students and workers meet and work together so as to produce a new type of flexible urban landscape that adjusts to the industrial PUBLISHED

Kum Kapi (which means Gate of the Sand) is the only one of the three venetian sea gates of Chania that remains intact till today on the outer Venetial Walls of Chania. It was named by the Venetians “Sabionera Kum Kapi” due to the sandy beach that was there . Today this part of the sea front of the city is a meeting point for locals that faces heavy traffic and congestion on an everyday basis. It hosts many cafes and entertainment outlets and expecially during the summer months, offers the opportunity to locals to swim at the sea on a quick break from their everyday routines. The face of this particular coastline of Chania given the high traffic throughout the year , leads to an urgent need for a redesign of the view and a new program use standards-based on contemporary urban European formulations . The aim is to facilitate pedestrian promenade , the encouragement of cycling and encourage beachfront residents and visitors. The proposal is characterised by a mood of adjustment and re-use of materials , creating clear boundaries and offering new street furniture designed on the needs of the visitor . The central idea is to create a platform - on top of which new thematic areas are established and attract people with differenet interests.The first zone is the one that attracts people who wish to eat or drink out. It has a commercial character and this is where the cafeterias and restaurants are organized on a new grid that doesn’t obstract the flow of pedestrians and bikes.The second zone has a more urban character with small squares and gardens organized along the way. Young people gather here, they play music, rest on the gardens and organise cultural gatherings.The last park is excavated and offers new access to the city. the steps create small auditoriums and balconies, rest areas that can be used all year around, but especially during the summer months. In general the area is structured along the following lines of design : • Remove sidewalks consolidating its uses in a pedestrian flush coastal zone with single paving. • Create bicycle lane width 1.80m • Create a lane urban furniture width 1.00m • Extension of the pavement of every street . • Excavation parts of the sidewalk so that pedestrians can easily reach to the sea either with scales or only visual and sound . professional competition| AWARD

MOBILE.STOCKHOLM MOBILE PAVILIONS FOR THE CITY OF STOCKHOLM PROFESSIONAL PROJECT 2013 OPEN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION ORGANIZER: SWEDISH ASSOCIATION OF ARCHITECTS ARCHITECTS: JORGE GARCIA, KONSTANTINA PERLEPE This is a competition entry for the new street kiosks in Stockholm, Sweden. The idea was to design a new urban pavilion with a strong identity. It should be clearly identified as the “Stockholm Kiosk”. The pavillion would come in three different sizes, Mini, Midi, Maxi and should fit in three different urban conditions: in a sidewalk, a square and an urban beach. With our proposal for the mobile pavilions, we wanted to achieve maximum flexibility in terms of use and functionality. In addition, it has been our intention that the pavilions will create added value for residents and visitors in Stockholm. We chose to design a module that can be easily adapted or changed, by moving or sliding parts according to user preference. The City of Stockholm will be able to offer mobile platforms in the city, whether you are near a beach, square or street environment. Those who want to borrow or rent different types of modules will be able to do so from a directory that fits their future plans. As a result the user is in connection with a major urban context. We want to create a sense of belonging, and more importantly, the sense of belonging to a new urban typology which fits in Stockholm and at the same time is aesthetically pleasing. We provide natural and sustainable materials that give the module a long life and a clever mounting system makes it easy to customize it for different purposes. In Strandvagen a “mini” version with 4 modulesserves as a tram stop and has the ability to integrate a system of solar panels on the roof. In this way, the module can be self-sufficient as a secondary energy source is not necessary. In Östermalmstorg the principle of sliding elements in the module makes it possible for the owner to open his shop, presenting their goods and then simply push back some before closing. In this case, only the shop owner a key to unlock the sliding portion. On the way home, he can take a book from the library in one of the other modules on the platform which is public. Last on Lövsta Bad, we show how two “minis” are experienced in leisure environment. We create a long strip that defines a transition zone between the beach and nature. professional | COMPETITION

TØNDER.RÅDHUS EXTENSION OF THE CITY HALL. TØNDER PROFESSIONAL PROJECT 2013 OPEN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION ARCHITECT: OYO- OPEN Y OFFICE, GHENT, BELGIUM
DESIGN TEAM: JORGE GARCIA, KONSTANTINA PERLEPE, NIGEL JOOREN
Tønder is a Danish town in the Region of Southern Denmark. With a population of 7,572 inhabitants it is the main town and the administrative seat of the Tønder Municipality.Prior to 1864, Tønder was situated in the Duchy of Schleswig, so its history is included in the contentious history of Schleswig-Holstein. In the 1920 Schleswig Plebiscite that incorporated Northern Schleswig as part of Denmark, 76.5% of Tønder’s inhabitants voted to remain part of Germany and 23.5% voted for the cession to Denmark. After the end of the German occupation in World War II, the political significance of the German population dwindled considerably. The border situation hindered the development of the city. Today, Tonder is famous for its’ Tønder Festival, which offers visitors a wide variety of traditional and modern folk music. The existing town hall of Tønder is situated at the southern border of the city, where the characteristic landscape of the south danish marsh begin. The proposed extension of the town hall is placed south of the existing building, marking the edge of the city. It was decided that a modern town hall should generally be a house for the whole town with many diverse functions. It must be an open and welcoming place, a social gathering place for both young and old, for visitors and townspeople. It must simultaneously be a place which provides a special experience and which can be a cultural setting for various events and celebrations such as weddings. In addition, it should offer and accommodate a range of service facilities and act as a workplace for many city employees, with adjacent areas which are open to public use and in close contact with the surrounding nature. We saw the new City Hall as a cultural house with outward facing services, and as a modern workplace based on synergy and interdisciplinarity. City Hall is the city’s living common point - engaging and communicating in its architecture. professional | COMPETITION

IN.FLANDERS.FIELDS WAR & TRAUMA - MEDICAL CARE IN WWI PROFESSIONAL PROJECT 2013 INVITED COMPETITIONORGANIZER: IN FLANDERS FIELDS MUSEUM ARCHITECT: OYO- OPEN Y OFFICE, GHENT, BELGIUM TEAM: JORGE GARCIA LOPEZ, KONSTANTINA PERLEPE
On the eve of the great remembrance ceremonies of the First World War worldwide and in particular in Belgium, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Flanders Fields Museumâ&#x20AC;?, located in Ypres, organized a closed architectural competition. Each participant was asked to reinterpret history by curating a new exhibition, dedicated on war and trauma, for the new wing of the museum.The greatest maybe battle won on WWI was on the field of medicine. The new exhibition not only celebrates the advances on the medical front but at the same time illustrates the dedication and personal commitment of those individuals who risked their lives on the front treating wounded soldiers. Much of that commitment has been remarkably preserved, in diaries, letters, literature, photography and objects. The new exhibition should narrate this compelling story of remarkable solidarity among people and nations, as well as the organization of the general medical care on the front during the First World War. Our proposal consists of two parts: the tunnel of experience and the main exhibition. As one enters the museum, she/ he is given a red ribbon to tie around his wrist. This ribbon is the ticket for the War and Trauma exhibition. At first, the visitor encounters a claustrophobic tunnel(1,2). As he is forced inside, he experiences the psychological trauma as an aspect of the war. Inside the dark inclined corridor one hears the noise of aircrafts shell bombing the city of Ypres(3,4). White gas and projected images on the interior walls highten the experience. Then, the tunnel abruptly ends and so does this part of the exhibition. Now, in a wide room the visitor can actually see the exhibition(5). This space is divided in three parts. The collecting zone/ battle field, then the evacuating zone/ battle field temporary red cross hospital and last the distributing zone/ base hospitals(6). In a disorganized grid, the visitor in the collecting zone encounters artifacts inside hole, symbolizing the trenches. Next, on the evacuating zone, the tables mimic the organization of a field hospital. The cubes, at the end stand for the healing of the wounds back home(7). On the last part of the exhibition, there is a white empty box. There, the visitor can leave the entrance ribbon on metallic poles. Ribbon by ribbon, a poppy field emerges. A field of ribbons, where one can pause and feel peace(8). ...In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below... John McCrae, In Flanders Fields
