HELLO! My name is Athanasios Desdenakis and i have a bachelor in Interior Architecture, Decoration and Design of Objects. I am a young man, passionate about deisgn, in every aspect of it. Through the wide range of my studies, i discovered my inclination for the artistic expression. Nevertheless, i possess not only good knowledge of the creative part of design, but also of the tecnhical one. Apart from design, i am also interested in fine arts. Drawing and painting are my main interests, which i study for 15 years. Other forms of art that fascinate me are, the installation art, 3D making, video art and animation. I am excited to evolve in design and hopefully it is depicted in my portfolio presented to you...

SEMESTER 6 INTERIOR DESIGN IN TRADISIONAL SHELLS: PROFESSIONAL GUIADANCE ORGANIZATION - SEMINAR SPACES FOR RENTING
In an already existing building in the island of Sifnos, was recommended the use of a professional guidance organization as well as seminar spaces for renting. Main focus of the design was to maintain the style of the Cyclades islands. Therefore, shapes from the exterior, combined with the colorful pallet that exists in Cyclades, were used in the interior so there would be a connection between the two.

THESIS DIVER(C)ITY: PUBLIC INSTALLATION ART My degree thesis, titled DIVERSITY - “Visual internention in the neighborhood of Kerameikos“, includes an architectural installation(1), a video installation(2) and a sculptural installation(3). It discusses the concept of diversity in terms of gender, sexuality, skin color, age e.t.c. Furthermore, it was designed for the neighborhood of Kerameikos in Athens, Greece, since the neighborhood is a multicultural place, connected thus with the concept of diversity.

1. EXPERIENtIAL JOURNEY The architectural installation is an ephemeral, spatial structure, that was designed to allow an experiential lourney inside of it. The viewer crossing this route, is called on to experience emotions, sometimes of fiar and anxiety, and others these of peace and tranquility. These emotions are created by the architectural structure of the space and the light within it. The installation aims to convey to the viewer through the empathy, the psyche of a person belonging to a minority, so that he or she can see him/her as similar and not as something distant and strange.

41
2. VIDEO INSTALLATIONS The two video installations are placed at the end of each path of the experiential journey. They were created from a series of sketches, with pensil and they depict snapshots of hands from different movements. These hands narrate a different story through the way they touch, hug, involve and express themselves. In addition, the hands are trying to highlight the emotional fluctuations experienced by the viewer in the path. Finally, they reminds us of the obvious. The crisis for our fellow man must overcome the prejudices and stereotypes.
42
43
3. FRAGMENTS The sculptural installation consists of human figures, reminiscent of ancient Greece statues. These statuary forms, or fragments, are bot whole, but they represent parts of the body. The way the fragments are placed in the public road, reminds us of a society that coexists and interacts, part of which becomes also the viewer when crossing the pedestrian street. The viwer enters the process of visually complementing the form and unfolding the social relationships between them.

INTERNSHIP
INTERNSHIP AT THE STUDIO OF ARCHITECTURE CORZO DE DIOS, MADRID, 2018 During my internship i learned how to complete real projects in each fase, from the beginning to the final hand in to the client, in a professional level. More specifically, the followed process was: - space measurements - collect the clients requirements - formation of the design concept - plans drawing_ actual state/ reform - installations - presentation/printing od plans - 3D models - Photoshop_photorealistic images - dossier design_ presentation/promotion of the studio work - dossier printing - basic level of budget making (Presto)
Sort description from the studio: ¨Once the adaption to the tools and the work system of the study has been made, the student has begun to take responsibilty in the study. Starting projects from the beginning to the end himself. We understand that this has been a qualitative leap in his training process. Little by little he is becoming an excellent professional¨
