_Arcadian land_
April – May 2012 LS/ARCHITECTURE AND STRATEGIES Project/Design/Concept Architect: Responsible for the concept and design of the conversion of an existing building into a Museum, based on the ‘Arcadian Ideal’ and the study of the surrounding area. The entire project is based on ecological and green building design. The project was included & presented along with others at EcosmosiS exhibition. I had Curator’s assistant duties throughout the event & the planning process. You can watch the video animation here : http://ls-architecture.com/?p=1555 Also here : http://www.archello.com/en/project/arcadian-land http://vimeo.com/43733628

Su rrou nding Mantinean Landscape
The surrounding area is designed as a continuation of the natural landscape, a conceptual and visual connection with the archaeological site. A key cross-shaped alignment connects the entrance to the visible archaeological site and the Museum. Alignments with symbolic references to the mythology of the Arcadian Mantinea land, nostalgia, harmony, the human measure, organicity and the life-giving element of water are metamorphosed to curved, snake- like paths and mastoid endings, as symbols of prosperity that run throughout the property. A palimpsest of botanical collections, low bushes, flowers, planting and cultivation zones of the local flora, allows guests to feel at home in the Arcadian landscape.

Exterior views
On the first floor, the visitor’s reception area has direct visual connection to the archaeological site and the oracle plain. Second’s floor café is taking advantage of North's side’s management, and is accessible by foot from the outside.

interior views & details_
An exhibition space is hosted to the ground floor for permanent and temporary exhibitions, along with administrative offices and an interactive maze designed under the principle of “House in House”. Clear, open spaces, with extended use of glass surfaces, allow visitor’s sight to admire the greatness of the Arcadian landscape, while inside.
Landfills form hills, are covering the north side of the Museum and a sculpture- like water wall signifies the entrance on the south side. The building facades incorporate bioclimatic design principles for shading and ventilating. The double sided wall, serves concept principles & bioclimatic purposes. The wall is using photovoltaic systems at the south side, to ensure energy self-sufficiency for the museum. On the other side, the wall is producing melodies, combining running water, drafts of wind & different shapes / sizes of metal materials. The melody is welcoming the visitor & signifies the main entrance, preparing guests for the time travel back to the landscape’s vivid melodic history & the unknown myths of the Mantenean land

_“Create Your O wn Sty le “_ ‘Interior design’ seminar at Velios School of Art, 2013
.interior.
Agniezska, 29 from Poland & James, 35, from England met in Athens 3 years ago and fell madly in love with each other. She's a sophisticated lawyer and he's a travel journalist of exotic destinations. They like spending time at their house and she uses one room as her office space. Gatherings with friends, cooking, listening to music, tasting wines & planning their next exotic trip are just few of their hobbies. She loves Latin music, shells & art, he loves reggae music, cooking & collecting souvenirs.
During the conceptual process, the couples hobbies, activities & likes were presented in a free shaped but yet expandable mood-board by pictures of the couple’s interests, so as to experiment and define the atmosphere, textures, smells, tastes, senses and feelings I wanted to give to their space.
The freshness of their relationship, the impressions & the objects of their exotic trips should fit in a space that would imply, embrace & communicate the uniqueness of this multicultural house in the north suburbs of Athens. The significance of their meeting in Greece, is underlined by the planting of a fresh olive tree in the middle of the house, ‘dividing’ the functions of ‘cooking’ & ‘relaxing’. Symbol of their presence in here & now, the olive tree blends in these exotic representations with the Greek essence. The functions diagram forms the areas of the house, creating an office that can accommodate both Agniezska’s & James's needs for working/writing. Office space can also work separately of the rest of the house if needed. Kitchen and lining-room are in one open-space room but yet they differentiate with a layer difference of two steps. Kitchen is located in the higher level of the house along with the bathroom both emphasizing the daydream of an exotic trip in flavors and sensations. Office and living-room in the lower level both fulfill their ‘alone & together’ needs for working in peace and relaxing with company.
