Each project presented reflects my contribution to the design process and the presentation material produced in collaboration with my partners.

The first part contains material produced during my design thesis, “Zero Waste Prototype� which focuses on the issue of waste management on the island of Syros in Cyclades and proposes the creation of a treatment plant, along with an alternative sustainable local production system, in the context of Circular Economy. This project is followed by a brief presentation of my research thesis, analyzing urban interventions of the last two centuries, suggesting models of ideal cities in terms of organizing the urban space, adapted to each specific political, economic and social characteristics.

The portfolio also presents four design projects, varying in terms of location, scale of intervention and thematic. It begins with a proposal for an island rehabilitation in the Venice Lagoon, via the creation of a self-sustained community. Continuing, two projects of different scale are presented with a special focus on construction solutions and materials. At first a public dance school in a central district of Athens, followed by a metallic and wooden structure, functioning as an observatory on the mountain of Hymmetus. The final pages present a landscape intervention, suggested for the city of Eleusis, in the occasion of its candidacy for the European Capital of Culture for the year 2021 and .a renovation of a block of flats in Athens.

This design thesis suggests the beneficial use of local waste in order to create a sustainable community. For this purpose, a prototype system of circular economy is presented, which commences from the recycling process and therefore waste reuse.

Zero Waste emerges as an experimental model of implementing this system of waste reception, processing and re-introducing to the production and consuming process.

The island of Syros serves as the ultimate paradigm for the application of this prototype, for reasons related both to its uniqueness and its typical features within the insular reality of the Aegean Sea. With more than 20.000 inhabitants it comprises a major population and administration node amongst the Cyclades complex and at the same time it functions as a local production and service hub. On the other hand, Syros emerges as a typical Greek island receiving a great influx of tourists each summer, with a constant reduction of primary and secondary sector in favor of services and finally implementing outdated methods of waste management.

Zero Waste Prototype serves as the infrastructure for this waste management scenario, including the Recycling Factory, the Institute of research and model production and an Industrial Unit functioning exclusively with recycled raw material. The aim is to create a center of circular economy, where Syros waste receives proper treatment, within a place of experimentation and innovation and at the same time a place accessible to everyone in the very center of communal activity.

[Island Analysis] _Following our visit to the island and after contacting with the related public departments of the municipality, conducting the circular economy plan became our main priority, while also linking it geographically to the local facilities, sectors of the existing local economy. _After having organised the initial research, I focused on creating the basic diagram of the proposed production scheme, along with maps of the primary activities observed on the island, firmly connected to our proposal.

[Intervention Site] _ Having associated the proposed economic and production plan to a center - core of the facilities, we focused on the site of intervention. _ Concerning our design method approached, we were decisively influenced by our bibliography, such as “Earth Moves” by Bernard Cache and “The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque”, by Gilles Deleuze, that I mainly focused on. _ Following these, we perceived our site a place in flux, totally reshaped by the natural elements along with the human interventions. In order to approach this space in mutation, time stills were taken, significant moments in the course of its evolution. _ These stills were depicted through 3d models produced collaboratively.

This research thesis analyses urban interventions of the last two centuries, the “Highways of modern times�, which are new places to be inhabited. They comprise models of ideal cities in terms of organizing the urban space, adapted to each specific political, economic and social data.

In the middle of the 19th century, Paris is highly degraded. The increasing population along with the simultaneous expansion of industrial activities, has made the old urban space obsolete and inappropriate in terms of meeting the challenges in the new reality.

A total remodeling process that is going to change the whole city, guarantees the creation of a new place, free of the problems from an unprecedented urbanization.

One hundred years later, the Second World War is over and the devastated Berlin comprises no longer a city. With the majority of urban structures seriously damaged, the site faces urgent problems. After responding to the most basic needs, the invention of a new reality emerges as a necessity for the urban space. In East Berlin, this void is dealt with interventions that determine the new image of the city, by systematically erasing the traces of the war.

This urban design project aims at the creation of a settlement for 400 habitants at the deserted island of Poveglia, in the Venetian Lagoon. Once a busy checkpoint at the entrance of the Lake, today the island is taken over by a growing forest, resulting to its unique image. This lake forest becomes a destination itself and the Sea Gardens emerges as a tool to explore it.

The proposed settlement consists of three gardens depending on the different activities that the guests are going to develop during their accommodation. Thus, there is the Baths Garden, the Market Garden and the Library Garden, structures in the shape of frames that are placed on the island creating different living conditions. In each case they contain a specific public function, the focal point of every complex and the living quarters. The structures are lifted off the ground, resulting to a continuous open space, consisted of the three gardens and the preexisting forest.

Venetian Lagoon

This public space is also developed around a central square, focal point for the office spaces placed into the preexisting building remnants and a port ensuring the connection of the community with Venice. In terms of self-sufficiency, the northern part of Poveglia is devoted to agricultural production, while solar panels are to be placed on top of the structures. While each garden is developed accordingly to the surroundings and its specific function, altogether they form an experimentation in the typology of inhabited garden.

This landscape design project takes place at Eleusis, in the occasion of its candidacy for the European Capital of Culture for the year 2021. It aims at providing suggestions in relation to the serious degradation of Eleusis public space and to the complex social and economic problems that the city currently faces.

Throughout its long timeline, Eleusis has undergone some serious urban mutations leading to the fragmented contemporary image of the city. Similar to a mosaic, it consists of the ancient sacred site, a handful of industrial remnants and the newly constructed part of the city. The waterfront appears to be quite isolated from every urban activity, while very often it disappears under the pressure for city extension.

In this context, Rolling in the Sea emerges as a proposal of sea reclamation for the Eleusis habitants through the creation of a series of public spaces beyond the coast. The hitherto impenetrable limit set by the sea, is transferred from the congested waterfront to the border set by the old port, undergoes dissolution and then is reintroduced as floating surfaces, capable of rotating around themselves. Therefore, the new waterfront acts as a promenade providing viewpoints to every city fragment, while at the same time, it is capable of creating organized modular spaces, ideal for developing urban activities.

[Identifying the Mosaic] _ Following the on site visit at Eleusis and a detailed registration of it’s numerous characteristics, the apparent multiplicity of the local city features, led me to the conduction of a General map, conveying my observations and the primary suggestions as well. _ Reference on the main access points is made, including the highway and the train station, linking the city to a broader mixed residential and industrial area. _ Highlighted are the “fragments� of the city, obvious in their diversity, creating the mosaic of the Eleusis. The area of interest is defined within the circle, including the city center and historic landmarks of various eras. An outline of the proposal is presented through a broken dotted line, in parallel to the seafront.

This architectural design project comprises the in-depth analysis and development of a Public Dance School, in a range of scale between 1:500 to 1:10. The site chosen for this purpose is located in Athens, in the crossroads of Piraeus Avenue, a major transportation and commercial route and Persefonis Street, a local road of lower traffic. While also located at the edge of the popular Ermou Pedestrian Street, the site emerges as a significant urban node, a true point of convergence for a great variety of social groups.

Taking into account the double nature of the site, the building consists of a central triangular core at the side of Piraeus Avenue, while at the same time it expands towards the neighborhood in relation to the adjoining buildings. Respectively, the triangular core, emerging as a landmark along Piraeus Avenue, comprises of the main public areas in the ground floor and of the dance classrooms on the upper levels. The other volumes adjusting to the existing buildings, house the office spaces and a double level parking area. A constant flow of interior and outdoor spaces leads to the lower levels and at the Performance Hall.

e area of Gazi

In terms of structural choices, the project is materialized through a combination of concrete surfaces with metal volumes. The basic layout consisting of the triangular shape along with the surfaces deriving from the urban mold are elements of concrete. At the same time every interior space above the ground level consists of a metal structure and a glass envelope.

_TRIANGULAR CORE [Composing the Building] _Given the dense building program, the analysis and production of plan drawings was a key element for the design process. _Apart from these, in order to select proper materials for the building, I developed various 3D rendered views from both interiors and the exteriors.

This project was undertaken by the architectural office that I am currently working at and it is part of a general investment plan proposed by the clients. The scheme includes the renovation of numerable abandoned office areas in a seriously degraded and depopulated central area of Athens. The purpose is to create habitable spaces for short term occupation, an action aiming at the revitalization of this previously deserted part of the city centre.

The design concept, affected by both the unique characteristics of the area and the limited available space, redefines the traditional boundaries between private and common used rooms. More specifically, each apartment is organized as a whole entity, where casual wall elements are transformed into glass surfaces, implementing the concept of unique space. A necessity clearly deriving from the small size of each habitable area, that leads to the integration of different elements for temporal separation of the apartment rooms. Curtains are added to an extended metallic guide that is traced around the whole apartment, offering support for lighting, clothes saving and other additional uses. Through the constant modification of curtains, space transforms according to each resident’s specific needs.
