ABOUT ME I define myself as a young architect engaged to a global society, constantly keen on fresh ideas and innovative thinking. Bartlett introduced me to the impact of architecture and technology on society, so I strongly believe that exploring innovative ways and media for design and fabrication can be the key not only to adapting design to the current living needs but also pursuiting sustainability, social equity and more. However, throughout my working experience I realized the need of being realistic about the real conditions and parameters of a project. Behind every project it is extremely important for me to be part of a friendly environment in which team work and individual knowledge can help design come closer to very successfull results.

PLAN MEDITERRANEA Master Degree
Plan_Mediterranea provides a platform to reinvigorate existing villages in the Mediterranean region and establish new types of settlement which capitalise on the digital economy and remote work. COVID-19 was an opportunity and challenge for us to explore the “work from home” set-up and it encouraged us to shift all offline activities to online platforms. Our platform focuses on turning local neglected villages to smart villages by creating digital economy workspaces. For this, we refer to rural revival strategies for decentralization support, like “Back to Village” life in Spain, Taobao villages in China and 1-euro villages in Italy. Plan-Mediterranea consists of crowd-sourcing co-design digital game for platform participants and exisitng villagers to negotiate content and collective masterplan drawing for the community. This data is then translated and processed using volumentric algorithmic operations to obtain feasible schemes for 3D-printable homes, grafted on-site, on the existing context .
PA R T N E R S : Sehr Gupta, Yumo Wu
This platform aims to propose an innovative way of house living in Mediterranean villages. However, it also includes a wider invigorative plan for that areas, because the problem is the abandonment. We propose a plan that can offer new job opportunities in local placed, but also support the work from home model, and house workshops. New design manufacturing is scheduled to bring new job opportunies at once, since there will be established a worshop area there. New people will have to opportunity to mone in there and also enjoy the countryside. The manufacturing proceses starts with locating a worskop area on the wider site of the village. Robot arms and 3D printing equipment will be brought there too. People can join the factorty and work for that efford, while the inhabitant himself can participate on that. The parts, that are consisted of the building, are light-weighted and easy to be transfered by hands. Only higher level of the building needs the help of cranes. Since they are thranfered on-site, they are assembled in pairs and then they are casted together. The design of the parts is related to 3D printing constraints, but also it is informed by the casting needs. The design follows the selected manufacturing rules for 3D printing and casting. Walls of 3D printed parts are not long straight lines, in order to achieve better material stability. Also, diagonal lines are not exceed the 45 degrees in order to avoid extra 3d printed supports and waste of time and material. Also, the walls have the form of tubes, which serve the zig-zag shape that is needed for 3d printing,but also they can keep a continuity between the parts, so they can serve and increace the efficiency of the casting process.

Our platform also aims the community invigoration so except from innovative design strategies, it is proposed a wider plan for bringing new job opportunies on the abandoned villages. This plan mainly focuses on taking advantage of the workshop manufacturing area, that can attract new people to move in there for that, but also help the long distance work.

The centerpiece of the design of the shelter was a free-standing roof, expanding along the horizontal axis, with no horizontal or vertical lines, like the creatures of nature. This is a move to fit the building into the tranquil landscape and look no stranger to it. Our goal, however, was not a building that would subdue the landscape trying to imitate it but a building that would adapt to it while still retaining its architectural identity. Thus dynamic lines, gradients and shapes were chosen. Still, where possible the roof itself forms the outer walls of the building, resembling it with a cloth that “falls” and houses - shaping the spaces needed to meet the shelter’s needs. Initially, there were three volumes covering the needs mentioned above, one contained dining, entertainment, study, storage (public functions), sanitation, rest (private functions) and one was a covered, outdoor seating area that could be used and by passersby. However, the separation of the functions of the building into two different volumes was not maintained and thus the two volumes were combined and constituted a single building. The final bulbus forms a building hanging from two clear points, which are also highlighted in the plan, open to the south with large openings and closed to the north for protection from the strong winds seen in the area. While the auxiliary building - shed was modified to provide two alternatives, one with a barrier to the north to be sheltered during the winter months and one open - air for the summer months. The roof was coated with titanium zinc to protect it from the particular conditions in the area, while the walls and floors with wood that are associated with history, handmade and the area. On the north and east sides of the building there is a gravel, while the rest of the exteriors use a deck, thus better defining the exterior gathering spaces. It was chosen not to make large configurations in the surrounding area (such as placement of tall vegetation) in order to keep the landscape as intact / untouched as possible and the entire structure to be reversible. The entrance to the main building is designed in a covered area approximately in the middle of the building, well protected from the north. In this way the zone of day activities - living, dining - coffee, work - is easily separated from the night zone, while at the same time facilitating movement in the spaces. To the south are the common areas (living room, dining area, study area) with special care for the sun and their view. In the study area, a large opening with vertical blinds is placed to avoid the phenomenon of blurring, while in the living room where the roof is raised, the most extravagant part of the composition, large glass for direct contact with the outside. The kitchen and toilets are to the north with small openings for protection from the wind, while the bedrooms to the east with comfortable windows and a space that serves privacy, away from daytime activities and close to the entrance. In order to protect the privacy of the bedrooms, the placement of glass-brick windows and the modification of the deck (gravel) were also taken care of, thus constituting a crucial limit for the private - communal.

This proposal seeks to create an iconic building through its morphological differentiation in relation to the existing buildings of the area. However, it is also attempted to connect it both to the oldest building of the company and to the wider urban environment. For this reason, an elliptical shape is chosen to form a loop. The loop is reinforced by liftings that are determined by the geometry of the building blocks in proximity to the site, which means they rise according to the height of the latest. This creates a distinct geometry in the area that respects the existing scale of the region and wishes to have a dialogue with it. Furthermore, a large atrium is chosen as a basic element of the composition and central core of the building, a typology that also converses with that of the German building blocks. Meanwhile, the main entrance to the building is on its south side, in order to create a common square with the existing building of the company and to emphasize the coexistence of these two sites in the area. As stated, the main objective of the proposal is to create an iconic building that will house the office building of the future. It was therefore necessary to acquire both an overtly local character and open to the local community, forming an integral part of it and encouraging the public accommodation throughout the day. For this reason, it incorporates public and semi-public uses on the ground and first floor, and a large open lobby, promoting the image of the company to the public. In particular, on the ground floor there are shops, as well as an exhibition space and a library that both unfold on the first floor too, which also houses a co-working space, amphitheater and the company’s archive. The upper floors serve purely office use while on the 5th and 6th floor there are service spaces for the employees of the company, such as a kindergarten, gym, relaxation areas, restaurant and café. Due to the great complexity of the building program, the organization of the floor plans follows a simple and clear logic to allow direct user orientation in the area, enhancing the sense of intimacy and security. Regarding the organization of the workspaces, this is done in bands, from the most formal areas, to informal offices and relaxation areas, with this transition being gradually and radial from the outermost parts of the floor inside the atrium. The connection of these spaces is fluid and flexible allowing the integration of one space into the other and creating more relaxed boundaries between them. This promotes the sense of community and coexistence in the working environment and encourages the casual and continuous meetings. Regarding the treatment of the façades, in order to emphasize the special geometry of the building and to preserve it as uniform as possible, more gentle manipulations were chosen, creating a visual correlation with the interior. Specifically, the most public floors are surrounded by u-glass, while the others use horizontal metal blinds. Overall, this proposal seeks to satisfy all the needs of a demanding office-building program, by incorporating modern and alternative approaches through both the morphological and functional operations analyzed.

The project is based on my diploma thesis “The importance of Physical and Digital Spaces in Educational Environments; Influences from recent educational theories and practices” which tries to redefine the type of school environment, because classrooms cannot cover the new educational needs so this leads to ineffectiveness. Trying to recall my memories from my school age, I was feeling but I cannot completely understand that the traditional type of school was problematic. Therefore, in combination with the research mentioned above, the primary school in Mesimeri village of Thessaloniki was selected as a case study. The analysis of that school named the problems and the strength of the area, so the project could end up with a proposal of a contemporary school in which practices and technology can meet. Technology tends to attract users’ attention, by adding an intense lively experience and active learning through interactive systems by improving children’s engagement levels in learning processes using Virtual and Augmented Reality systems. Their implementation requires a specially designed area to support the active spatial experience of the user in conditions and spaces of greater freedom “without limits”. The design of the redefined classroom begins with the analysis of the classroom in the light of constructivist pedagogy that uses games, movement, freedom and the use of technology. Generally, the educational space is trying to combine mainly the formal educational process with the informal one. The latter includes gaming activities, either conventionally or using systems such as AR and VR. These two types of teaching are integrated into a single spatial context by adding the nature which can be part of the educational process and shape environmental consciousness of the people. As for the particular site, the main building is maintained but its use is changed. Specifically, the classrooms, which occupy solely the interior of the building, are moved out of it and formed as independent units, while the interior of the building is designated as a multipurpose space (exhibition, restaurant, stage, etc.). At the same time, the use of the swimming pool is added to the building complex. The ”Outside the Box” title shows the passion for creative and more imaginative modern classrooms. At the same time, it marks a change in the character of the imposing old school building, moving “out” of the classroom, but maintaining its presence as a reminder of the change. Finally, the school facilities can be used by all residents of the area due to its strategic location. The swimming pool, the old main building as a multipurpose space and the farming “open” the school boundaries to the community.
