STRATEGIC ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN DEVELoPMENT
#TU DELFT

The United Nations Environmental Council, the new, 6th Council, will be in charge for the coordination of sustainability issues, such as waste problems, energy problems and securing biodiversity on the planet, aiming to marshal the existing fragmented running programs (such as UNEP) and coordinate these issues on a global level. In other words, the new UNEC Building will be the center for collecting, producing, propagating and exchanging information on the broad topic of sustainability.

ANALYTICAL MODEL
#TU DELFT

The aim of the project was to analyze one of Robert Venturi’s non-built projects, the YMCA building in North Canton, Ohio, and create an analytical physical model/ maquette which would reveal and emphasize the conceptual idea behind Venturi’s design. The main idea which was pointed out consists of two categories; one the one hand, extra attention should be paid to the interior streets which are typical in venturi’s design (an interior street with the atmosphere of a public domain). On the other hand, after extended analysis to the YMCA project, extra emphasis should be given to the layered facades of each one of the three main volumes of the building.

THE BLUE WINDOW 
#COMPETITION

The contest requires the redesign of the historical Eleftherias (Liberty) Square, in the city center of Thessaloniki.

The project includes the increase of the existing green and the emergence of the historic memories related to the Square through bioclimatic design.

RESIDENCE-HOUSE DESIGN
#A.U.TH.

The plot lies in a corner, with two main views, while, the other two blind views should be attached to the neighbour walls.
