SUMMER HOUSE IN NEA MAKRI Title: Client: Year: Size:
Two-storey house Private 2014 140 sq.m.
Description: A two-storey summer house close to the eastern sea side of Attica in the region of Nea Makri was build. The house due to the small size of its plot, uses the surrounding area of each floor as a living space. Moreover the building uses its excess of volume as an advantage in order to give the impression that the limited interior space is bigger than it is for real. It is indeed a very fresh and pleasant living space. At this spesific project i also had both roles: project architect and construction supervisor.
DHL GATEWAY OFFICES Title: Client: Year: Size:
DHL Gateway Offices DHL Express Hellas 2015 1.700 sq.m.
Description: DHL Express Hellas, decided the total renewal of their Gateway offices. A.R.I.S. was assigned to do all the necessary design studies (architectural, structural, electromechanical etc.) along with the on-site supervision. The project triggered our interest mainly because it was about a building within a building. The main office space is on the first floor of a big warehouse located in the Athens International Airport space. One side of the offices is looking into this warehouse area. The DHL gateway office design was a challenge on one of our main field of expertise, the research and development of evolutionary work environments. In the project we successfully implemented our studies on new strategic planning approaches, such as “flexible working places” and “mobile working”. Through this we were able to minimize the required office space and create interesting spots in spaces not so much naturally illuminated, whilst providing a variety of different work-settings in each space, available for all to use. Moreover we Designed a new training area having as source of inspiration the airplane containers known as ULD. Overall we believe that our design will be a prototype for the brands future designs.
INTERAMERICAN HEAD OFFICES Title: Client: Year: Size:
Interamerican Head Offices Interamerican Hellenic Life Insurance Company 2013 6.500 sq.m.
Description: Interamerican, subsidiary of ACHMEA, the leading insurance company of Greece, decided to relocate their head offices and assigned to A.R.I.S. all the necessary design studies of the interior along with the project management and the onsite supervision. One of our main fields of expertise is the research and development of evolutionary work environments, hence we successfully implemented in our studies new strategic planning approaches, such as “flexible working places” and “mobile working”. Through this we were able to minimize the required office space and thus we had the opportunity to create different “neighborhoods” that promote the company’s community spirit, whilst providing a variety of different work-settings in each “neighborhood”, available for all to use. The implementation of the “Interpolis Concept” (ACHMEA headquarters in the Netherlands) was one of the most challenging planning approaches we had to accomplish.
BACARDI HELLAS HEAD OFFICES Title: Client: Year: Size:
Bacardi Hellas Head Offices Bacardi Hellas 2011 1.000 sq.m.
Description: This project concerns the New Bacardi Hellas head offices. A.R.I.S. undertook all the necessary design studies (architectural, electromechanical etc.), as well as the project management and the on-site supervision. The design studies and the construction were completed on time and within the agreed budget. The edifice is located in the northern suburbs of Athens, Greece, at an easy accessible area.
HOTEL IN SKOPELOS Title: Client: Year: Size:
Hotel on Skopelos Island (eastern Greece) C. Lemonis 2010 1.400 sq.m.
Description: On a wonderful mountainside on the Island of Skopelos, we developed a complex of bungalows within a combined surface of 1.400 square meters. The hotel were designed to be integrated in the surrounding area. As a result of the natural inclination each structure is partially “surrounded� by the mountain itself, which provides a natural heat isolation.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOFIA, BULGARIA Title: Client: Year: Size:

MEMORY Subject: Time: Location: Team: Size:
Memorial in Kifissia 2014 Athens Evangelos Moschonas 8 sq.m.
Description: A memorial is a place which memories comes to life. This monument as a family tomb it is excessively emotional and the word memorial fits exactly to its purpose. The design is based on two elements. -The experience of the pilgrim -The supernal nature of the monument Those two directives are translated in space with the careful use of the light, the right use of materials and the use of the volumes. The two sides of the monument are divided for the natural and supernal space. The natural space is built with natural and perishable materials such as metal and wood. The light in this part of the monument is plentiful, whereas in the supernal space the materials are marble and bronze materials that are everlasting. It is a memorial that respects the pilgrim and offers the space and the warmth they seek, in order to be close to those they worship. 5th place in Domes competition ‘Best, Greek young architects, realised work for the period 2010-2014�

AND COMMUNICATION LIBRARY KNOWLEDGE HUB IN THE AREA OF ELEUSINA
Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Thesis project 2007 Gulf of Eleusina, Attica, Greece Costis Paniyiris (professor) Evangelos Moschonas, George Mpouses (students)
Description: The development of the Greek modern city is expressed by its expansion to its neighbouring regions integrating them to the city. Mainly in Athens, this is conveyed with the construction of main root connections such as the Attica road to nearby cities such as Eleusina and the suburban railway. This has created the proper conditions for the city development. In this project, a library building is presented in Eleusina. This site is described as a hub- an interchange point due to its geographical position, which is on the zone that joins Attica and the Peloponnese. We are witnessing a transitional phase,where industry gives place to a new era. The proposed project is placed on the last lot of the industrial zone of Eleusina; an abandoned pier that was used to load ships with bauxite. The marks from its previous usage are still visible. Considering the above parameters, this intervention aims at the revival of cultural characteristics of this region that had been degraded for many decades.
VACATION HOUSE Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Vacation House 2006 Pagasitikos gulf, Magnisia, Greece Costis Paniyiris (professor) Evangelos Moschonas, George Mpouses (students)
Description: The project was about summer habitation on Mount Pelion near the Aegean Sea. We designed a vacation house following the virtual movement of a person during summer vacation. The main concept for the house was “Function follows Movement� was the main concept. A movement which starts from the bed, ends to the sea and vice versa with all functions follows that patern.
DESIGN MUSEUM Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Design Museum 2003 Lamia Thessaloniki Highway, Greece Evelyn Gavrilou (professor) Angelos Chronas, Evangelos Moschonas (students)
Description: Studying a Design Museum was a challenging subject. The main question concerned us, was if the museum should be compared to its exhibits or not? Considering the speed of the highway we designed a museum that pops out the landscape as a razor. It can not be detected from the first glance, but at the same time is impressive if you notice it.
ARCHITECTURE TOURISM + EVOLUTION Subject: Time: Team:
Dissertation 2006 George Tzirtzilakis (professor) Evangelos Moschonas (student)
Description: That text represents the stages of tourism evolution. Emphasizing on the role of architecture, combining vision with reality we adressed several key questions. Which is the contribution of architecture in the development of the areas of tourism and especially the “Mediterranean – facede”? Towards what direction the architect’s reflection is driven today? In this text no specific solutions are proposed, its purpose is to create a different set of thoughts in addressing this issue.

EMERGENT TERRITORY Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Urban Design 2008 Port of Barcelona, Spain Willy MĂźller (professor) Evangelos Moschonas (student)
Description: The project is created to generate the port which is close, but at the same time, far from the centre of Barcelona. It is a building in the scale of a neighbourhood which can be always emerge. In order to create the city scale building it was important to understand and take under consideration the already existing movements. City movements that people, boats and cars do, in order not to interrupt them but to improve coexistance with the new functions the building is coming to add.
UNIVERCITY CAMPUS Subject: Time: Location: Team:
University Campus 2009 22@ Barcelona,Spain Jose Perez de Lama (professor) Evangelos Moschonas (student)
Description: The region that the project take place is a region in Barcelona known as 22@ which is also a region that participates at the International Association of Science Parks. Moreover the 22@Barcelona municipal society participated in a World Conference, which took place in the United States with the theme “Future Knowledge Ecosystems”. Νot only 22@Barcelona is becoming one of the technologie parks of the world but at a conference titled “building a new environment”. It seems like 22@Barcelona project, is becoming a “model to follow” not only in the city of Barcelona but internationally. Also as a territory is the second biggest in terms of km² technology park after, le Plateau de Saclay a region located very close to Paris in France. There were concerns at a certain point in 2006 and people believed that 22@Barcelona was more a project than reality, mainly because of the crisis in the technology businesses after the dot-com boom on March 2000. Besides, people believed that Barcelona has probably arrived too late in this sector and cannot aspire to attract multinational headquarters. So the project of a technology park was more a concept than a reality, a year latter, the same people were saying later that the district is more a reality than a concept.
Companies from the media domain, telecommunications, Medical Technologies and energy started moving their headquarters or their research centers to the area. On the other hand the 22@Barcelona project has also another approach, that of the university research and creativity areas as it is planed from Cataluña to make the 3rd university campus in the area, a project that is in progress and that is going to be fully operational in 2012. The main plan is to integrate the research centers, the companies and the universities at the same area in a common “district of innovation” with a further aim of an economy based on science and knowledge. However what is there a creative area, without the “underground” creativity? Can we really be creative with the fear of failure? After researching in creative spaces it was found out that creative spaces are spaces that stimulates your senses. Maybe being creative means that you are living and working in spaces, surrounded by people who are interested in many different fields working together and interacting with each other having the opportunity to boost their knowledge in all possible fields. People that are willing to spread their knowledge, to those who are interested in absorbing it. All these are questions that drove me to search the campus needs. How can a campus survive in an already existing city and moreover in a district where people have the intense to abandon after working hours.
-The sticker used by the partners of the univercity campus in order for the students to blend with the existing socity.
Therefore what it was needed to do was to map the inside of the existing district in order to understand how this district is functioning now. There were two reasons to focus in the inside of the district, at first because at the borders there are plenty of attractive points, the sea and different activities that the sea provides, and at the other hand because of the universities that are located at the middle of the district. Following this the most important thing was to spread the uses keeping the existing facilities, in order not to cause any inconvenience to the people that are already living and working at this space, in order students and locals to interact, giving both the opportunity to adjust the way of seeing things. For my point of view what was missing was the injection that will energize this “campus”, that is an actual city having mach more advanced infrastructure than a university campus, in terms of life and movement that mainly students can brink. For me the solution was a new “creative centre” with workshop areas, libraries and open reading spaces, materialized by constructed fields, in a part of the campus that is close to the most condensed university area. Finally the structure itself is a symbol of how this campus uses the existing city filling the free spaces with creative activities in some parts, whereas in other parts it penetrates spreading seeds of, unknown creativity, for the field of the city to grow.
HYPER HABITAT Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Maps and infographics 2009 Barrio Gotico, Barcelona,Spain. Vicente Guallart (professor) Evangelos Moschonas, Amleto Picerno (students)
Description: Is a research project that explores the potential of information technology to reorganize the habitability of the world. From a single small object to the planet itself. Hyperhabitat, reprogramming the world is the biggest Internet Zero network ever built. The aim was to find a way to understand and decode a physical site and turn it into parameters you can show on an infographic or a map. The eye of the copper was our title describing our intention to decode coppers reaction to the sites atmosphere. How many information is possible to extract by the variations of patterns on the surface of copper? Copper is a material that can have many deferent patterns depending on the surrounding atmosphere. Many agents differentiates this patterns we took under consideration three of them. Temperature, Salinity and Humidity. These three agents made patterns, with different colour and deepness of oxidation on the surface of the cooper, that gave us the opportunity to understand the ecotone in a deferent perspective.
TOURIST PARASITE Subject: Time: Location: Team:
Populate the lake of Tunis 2009 Lake of Tunis, Tunisia Willy Müller (professor) Evangelos Moschonas (student)
Description: Tunisia is one of the first countries of the arabic world that atempt to westernize due to of the influence from the French occupation of its capital 1881-1956. Anti-Islamic reform and neo-Destour socialist movement appear at the 1930s emancipating women giving rights well ahead of the most Arab counterparts. Those facts made us to understand that tourism is amenable from the local people. Cultural differences and tourism There are plenty of cultural differences still between Tunisia and the western world. This deference’s can be visible easily considering the filter of tourism. In the Islamic world the traveling is an act having a very important role. From the Quran the religious people who had to travel to Mecca at least once in their life,to the nomadic tradition were people travel safe and try to realize the smallness of man and the greatness of god. Traveling promotes brotherhood within the Islamic communities. On the other hand for the western civilization traveling and tourism conceived by the Tunisians like “hordes of tourists populating the coasts looking for sun, sand and sex”.
This kind of behavior contradicting with the Islamic culture bring Tunisians to be reconsider the religion and even turns woman to reuse their veil as a kind of protest when on the other site western women staying topless at the beach. However are the tourists really so offensive? Or maybe they do not interact enough with the locals? The Projects concept Taking the former under consideration I have decided to make a hotel that is actually spread everywhere in Tunisia rematerializing, the skyline of every different place. Moreover I am spreading the tourists destroying the classic group tourism in a more interactive tourism. In this way we have the opportunity to make people of Tunisia having a more clear idea of what the western civilizations stands for, as well as gain income from the exchange that until now was going only at the hotel owners. To make what I had in mind an adaptable system was needed that could create the contrast between the cultures but also could make them live together at the same place. My thinking was inspired from the well known, pin toy that can adapt on any shape reproducing it, but at the same time it lives plenty of free space between the plane that you adapt and the existing shapes.

Description: Digital med workshop organized, by young architects, for young architects. Parametric design, mapping and digitral fabrication is aiming to transform rhythms of architecture to melodies. DMW is the effort of our team to share their experience in a contemporary aspect of architecture. Architecture based on the use of digital tools, parametric design as well as construction / creation / designing using contemporary digital means. The primary purpose of this effort is to create incentive and introduce a contemporary design method. In addition, to present the basic elements of parametric design and how parametric objects may be designed, varying in scale and parameters. Design logic like the aforementioned may inspired furniture or clothes designers in the same way that it may inspire an architect or an urban designer. Even in such wide design ranges, the process remains the same, a process that shipbuilders, aircraft builders and mechanical engineers have been using for many years. Website.: www.medaarch.com

Description: Rock Stock was a three week workshop part of “Instead” masters program of (UTH). The workshop was dealing with the necessity of reorganizing the Greek city centre after the de-centralization of the past few years. “Instead” masters description. Along with economic activity and tenants, the city is being abandoned by the set of assumptions that prioritize, ascribe value and qualitatively classify the amassed urban blocks. Increasingly, the social, legal and economic value systems that classify these volumes fade into obsolescence, leaving behind a built accumulation that looks homogeneous, impermeable and dark.
