1_ restoration of lavrio harbor, Athens This studio project emphasizes on the development of long-term plan, based on the area requirements.

The Harbor of Lavrio is in an exceptional geostrategic area.

The Masterplan of the Harbor Restoration determines future shape and function of the the futu coastal front and become a new landmark.

Evaluation of the urban landscape and the historical character of the area led to the creation of a Cultural Center of Lavrio - CCL. The CCL was designed to redefine the coastline of the harbor and attract visitors.

- Starting from the roofs of the existing buildings (spinning house) we were inspired by the overall approach.

-. The material that dominates the composition is metal, as it was legitimate to give a light feel to the overall shape of the band.

-The basic roof of the composition (in the south) is a contemporary rendering of the spinning houses roof.

2 _rural coffee house

This project is about a rural cafe close to the university campus. the signiďŹ cant concern in this project was the universal design something that could work anywhere.

A main concern of the design was to provide visitors with clear plantation view and close to the natural surroundings for that 3 of the 4 facades are made of glass this allows all customers from every table to see the view.

The main oor plan is a rectangular without any elevations so it can be easily accessed by elderly and disabled people.

The materials where used are smooth concrete , glass and steel allowing the design to change with the seasons.

3 _Museum of Architecture in Thrace This studio project concerns the design of a building compound marked by cultural importance and social character, one which is expected to reinforce collective identity and civic participation.

Its objective is to gear all the interrelated parameters involved in architectural design into a well-tuned and eloquent spatial complex, capable of both responding to its functional requirements and transmitting its proper meaning in terms of a familiar “locus” to be and refer to.

In addition, a spatial complex capable of being smoothly incorporated to the surroundings, in that it manages to envision, determine and activate essential links with them.

The site si is located in a central location and is part of its unified squares and parks city, resulting in intense pedestrian traffic.

The main idea for us is the route through the park as it is the one that leads you to the main entrance of the museum. With this move we would like to give life to the park as well as the surrounding area.

The stru structure of the building is C-shaped to create a square that opens to the main street while the cafe functions as a buffer.

On the ground floor we placed the reception area, the laboratories (for easy access to the road) as well as the permanent exhibitions which are directly related to the laboratories. Also on the ground floor there is the cafe which functions as an intermediate zone between the public square and the museum.While upstairs there are the offices as well as the periodical exhibitions

4 _Town pavilion , Xanthi

-21This studio is the first to focus on, how to analyze concepts such as the public, the collective, the shared, the multi-purpose, and the enabled multifaceted public spaces. problems concern both our relationship with These p the city and the wider environment as well as our relationship with the public building.

A complex public space with many actions and activities in closed and open sections, framed from intermediate semi-outdoors and free places.

The goal is to receive the daily and from their "common" life residents of the neighborhood and wider area .But also to reconsider the public display and and how collective can it be.

This site is in an advantageous position as it is loca located in the center of various parts of the city.

On the AE side we have the Xenia Hotel that is an example of modern architecture of Greece, on the EΔ is the Limnio Park witch is the bigest park in the city and finally on the AB side is the Old Town of Xanthi.

We wanted to create a pavilion that expresses the psychology of the world, creates a path and even for a while transports the city center to another place.

That's why we created a pavilion that acts as a ‘’bridge’’between the old and the new.

In this way we took advantage of the altitudes of the site that they go from +4.00m and through the building they take you down to 0.00m.

We installed common uses such as the cafe and the auditorium on the front of the build while we dedicated the entire uper floor to the shops.

At the back of the plot we put the most private uses .

5 _restoration of glenn tobacco office’s

-26-

This project aims to cultivate the ability of observation and understanding of the historic and aesthetic values of historic buildings through the systematic analysis and documentation of the types, forms and their special structural systems.

This project is about preservation, restoration and reuse of historic buildings. The development of the methodological approach requires the familiarization with specific techniques and materials used to survey, design visualization, analysis and documentation of a representative building from the historic center of Xanthi.

On the 19th and 20th century, Xanthi was a wealthy region due to the tobacco trade. Therefore, more than 124 tobacco warehouses were 1 built. This project focuses on Glenn Tobacco Warehouse. This industrial building has alot of decoration because it was the front of the comany nd it follows the architecture of the time.

From a first glance at the building it is apparent that eclecticism maintains the principles of facade organization such as symmetry, axiality, rhythmic repetition with greater freedom in morphological formulations, which are partly free from the rules of neoclassicism while a tonality of verticality is observed.

the inner part of the roof is made of wood which is painted with oil paint which over the years combined with moisture and sunlight have led to peeling

detachments and cracks in the coatings are due to errors in the manufacture of the coating itself

_interior watercolor sketches we can see a crack in the interior walls due to the settling of the western part of the building

in the rooms there is extensive spread of fungi due to humidity

the crack on the west side is through and due to the soil settling effectively the failure of the masonry materials

Ιn its entirety this facade is characterized by eclectic principles, such as symmetry in the organization of facades and planes and a strict geometric outline with corner accents.

Τhe basic organization of the floor plan is expanded to the shape of T.Τhe rooms are placed on the outer side with absolute symmetry as the central and airy shaft of the hall. Τhe main axis is defined by the central entrance with the exterior stairwell. main entrance

Τhe façade is organized on the basis of a three-story plan, with this central axis of the entrance, to "penetrate" into the building giving the impression that the interior path is receding and a recess is created which is housed by the elaborate metal roof that gives the building a luxury ll.

6 _Public Outdoor Space, Kavala

This project has to do with the creation of small outdoor areas in the harbor of Kavala.The part we chose has a particularity as half of the part is filled with ancient ruins.

The central idea of this urban intervention is defined as a holistic view, spiritual elaboration and then a technical solution with full awareness of the surrounding environment urban - natural and with the perspective of a person who understands the spiritual, mental and mental interaction of all beings. fi glance seems to balance between classical values characterized by This point in the first contradictions: anthropocentrism, contemporary-ancient, present-past, end-begining.

And there comes the part of our intervention, to narrow the boundaries and create a balanced security for human activity whichever it is.

Whatever is mentioned above as an idea is perfectly visible and tangible in consept. Urban and contemporary is expressed by hard materials (concrete, glass, metal) while water (tank) acts as a transitional element between old (ancient) and new (intervention).

7 _TEDx DUTH : Atom Democritus, one of the greatest philosophers of his time, seeks the beginning of matter. That tiny stone upon our whole world is built. The one that is smaller than every other stone. The one that is not cut. The atom.

Bu what is it? It is called the atom. The one that can not be But, intersected.Humans, after all, are used to declare "impossible" anything that can not be easily accomplished. Therefore, atom.

Unknown, as the human existence. Unfulfilled, like big dreams.

Immortal in its mortality. And what if the atom is finally cut?

How many alpha privatives will fade from our lives?

Atom, the untamed, the only matching and complete definition.

Several years later, the team of the first TEDxDUTH in their attempt to bring together the scattered departments in the four cities of the Democritus University of Thrace selects the ATOM as the theme of the event. In honor of this great man, Democritus, who lived in this place, we put in our own way a small stone, this particular idea that has become a reality, an event we hope to become an institution.

My role was that of the desingn team cordinator as well as a mediator with the media team. The Design team is responsible for the graphic design of TEDxDUTH promotional material, such as posters and booklets as well as for the design of the logo.

So in collaboration with the other people in the group we created the material you will see in the next pages

_tedxDUTH logo progress

We started with the idea that the atom is one of the smallest elements in the world, so one way to illustrate it is the parliament.

Just like when many atoms are united, they make a whole, so many dots can create an image.

We played a lot with the idea of the dot and we tried it in different forms as it seems from the course of the logos, but we were missing something ..

So we decided to play with the form of the atom as we know but change it.

Thus the logo was created by the twisting of the rings around the nucleus while the red line intersects the atom, this is a nod to the popular theory of Democritus that the atom intersects.

_tedxDUTH speakers instagram posts progress

We wanted to create something that would include the logo and could be adapted to each speakers photo but there would be a uniformity in each post.

For this reason, the two cycles remain constant while the red cycle changes every time and the dots are being reaplaced with the section and the hashtag of the speach. The basic colors are black, red and gray.

_tedxDUTH main event name tags progress

For the name tabs we wanted to create something that is exible to have the logo but also to have space to enter the name and property of the wearer. In the ďŹ rst attempts we tried to integrate the logo of the dot with the logic that the parliament will change color depending on the property of the one who wears it .When we came up with the logo, we kept the color logic and in the end (the ones that existed on the day of the event) there was a combination of the two previous ones. changes color depending on the property while the circle with the dots is what gives the feeling of uniformity as it is the common element both in the posts on instagram and in the ďŹ nal logo.
