1. Residence for a four-member family

The purpose of this team project was to teach the relationship between the architectural proposal, and the outcomes of construction, and realisation of architectural plans. We explored this relationship through the synthesis, and structural proposal of a two-storey residence. Structural details were discussed, solved, and designed, and there were also visits conducted in building sites.

3. Secondary Residence at Porto Rafti, Athens

Aim of the specific course was our familiarisation to the notion of dwelling. The exercise given was the creation of a residence next to an already existing one created by MOB architects. The relation to the mass of the existing building, the functions that were suggested, and the orientation determined the form of the new building.

4. Reformation of the former military camp Kodra into a cultural park

Purpose of this course was to teach how to reform a free urban space into a vivid space with uplifted qualities of life, full of social activity, by using the special qualities of the specific location, and by a creative intervention on the site. Specifically, the theme of the project was the conversion of the former military camp Kodra, which is now abandoned, into a cultural centre. Firstly we conducted an analysis of the site and the area. While designing, existing buildings, trees, and antiquities were considered. In the proposal we suggested an ensemble of cultural zones, walking zones, athletic zones, and

neighbourhood parks. Main element of the synthesis is the pedestrian street that links the existing buildings where cultural activities are suggested to take place. On the north end of this street we can find the main entrance of the park.

5. The Market Kiosk

Subject of this project was the architectural intervention which aims in the creation of social interaction in urban spaces. The project demanded the design of a contemporary kiosk of multiple uses in the area of Vlali square, otherwise called Vlali market, in the city centre of Thessaloniki. The structure of the kiosk is partly over ground (20%) and mostly underground (80%). At the underground part it was decided to house a market of herbs, and at the ground floor it was suggested to create a library for books with cooking recipes. With these functions the kiosk becomes a link between the market and the scale of the city.

6. Small scale winery at Heraklion Crete, Greece

For the final year design project I chose to design a small scale winery at Heraklion Crete. The site chosen for its construction can be easily linked to the already existing network of wineries that are part of the wine tour experience in the regional unit of Heraklion. Also the site had already vineyards which are proposed to be maintained. Main idea of the design was the creation of a route that would lead the visitor through the different stages of production starting with the collection of grapes, and ending with the tasting of the final product. The materials suggested for this construction are mainly concrete and stone. Concrete was chosen to make the construction easier,

quicker, and less expensive, and stone was chosen because it is a local material that can be found easily in the broader area, and is also used in traditional Cretan architecture which the winery tries to reminiscent. The visitor after entering the winery he encounters the reception where he is informed about the proceeding experience. Next he enters the room of vinification, and climbing down the stairs he finds himself in the cellar of barrels where the wine matures. Following the corridor he can see the process of bottling, and he reaches the cellar of bottles where the wine goes through a different type of maturation, or is just stored. Climbing up the stairs he finds the atrium, and he can enter the bar where he can taste, and buy the final products, while enjoying the view of the vineyard. This closed route that the visitor follows is the characteristic element of this winery.

7. Urban Space Objects - Design

Bench“Ben-t, Ben-ch” owes its name to its curved trapezoid shape. Its length is 2,2m, width 0,5m, and height 0,5m. It consists of a concrete base, and three wooden elements. The wooden elements are linked between them, and to the concrete base with three metal bars. The bench does not need to be attached to the ground because the weight of concrete is enough to prevent its displacement.

City Bin

“Hanging Bin” is a bin of square cross-section that is linked to the ground through metal bars. The bin is constructed from metal sheets kept in their natural colour. Only the element that covers the bin, and protects it from rain is coloured red. This helps the object to be easily identified by passers-by who would want to use it. The bin opens from the back giving the ability to replace the bag easily. The bag is hanged by a metal ring. The bin is anchored to the ground with 8 screws, 4 in each square base.

Streetlight

“Starlight” is a streetlight mostly appropriate for pedestrian streets. It consists of metal elements, semi-transparent glass that helps to diffuse the light, an appropriate lamp for street lighting, and a red led lamp. The red led lamp is on top of the object, and is protected by a convex glass. The idea for the form of this streetlight came from the desire to create a lighting object that would project light in a solid shape, in this case in the shape of a star.
