CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
In our time, the evolution of technology has a great impact on our lives. Globalization as a derivative of evolution has brought about the abolition of boundaries, thus creating a wider social whole that interacts, mainly, through the digital world. The result of this is that the more the digital whole increases, the more the individuality of the individual intensifies. Man, as an individual model, acts as an intermediary of the connection of physical and digital space.
Evolution of technology -- globalization -- abolition of boundaries -- The larger the digital total , the more the individuality increases
In our intervention, the residence embodies this connection, by creating the ultimate individual model which is symbolically translated with a sphere
Thinking about today’s unexpected conditions, we aimed at the isolation of the building complex from the city by raising the bubbles and creating a cloud of habitation over the existing city, offering new experiences and creating unprecedented conditions for the residents. The contact of man with nature remains crucial and connected with the residence through hydroponics systems and construction techniques which gives this feeling to a city that “hovers”.
TROMBE-WALL
TYPE: SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SITE: UNIVERSITY CAMPUS OF PATRAS,GREECE PARTNER : CHRISTINA GOURVELOU, CHRYSSA GINI, DIMITRA PATSIOTI, MARITINA VASILOPOULOU, ZOE PANAGOPOULOU,VASILIKI SPYROPOULOU, MARIANNA ANASTASOPOULOU
A passive sun-eliating system works best if between the greenhouse and the building there is a wall of thermal storage made of materials of high heat capacity (concrete, brick, water). The greenhouse in this case acts as ventilation of the Trombe wall.
Its performance is improved if lockers are provided at the top and bottom of the wall for the movement of air.
With the use of the greenhouse between the glass surface and the wall, a usable -habitable space is created, while the overheating conditions that may be created in the summer are treated with openings in the ceiling to remove the hot air.
DESCRIPTION
The house accommodates a family of 4 people and is found on the campus of Rio among the laboratories of architecture. The composition includes the guard’s house, an external formation for the students as well as a warehouse where materials are kept for the students useful for the construction of models.

SITE: OLYMPIA PELOPONNESUS ,GREECE
PARTNER : DIMITRA PATSIOTI
LANDSCAPE DIAGRAMS
The site of Olympia, in a valley in the Peloponnesus, has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In the 10th century B.C., Olympia became a centre for the worship of Zeus.The Altis – the sanctuary to the gods – has one of the highest concentrations of masterpieces from the ancient Greek world. In addition to temples, there are the remains of all the sports structures erected for the Olympic Games.The sanctuary of Olympia, , has been established in the valley created by the confluence of the Alpheios and Kladeos rivers. The Pan-Hellenic sanctuary has been established in the history of culture, as the most important religious, political and sports centre, with a history that dates back to the end of the Neolithic times (4th millennium BC). For the Altis, the sacred grove and the centre of the sanctuary, some of the most remarkable works of art and technique have been created, constituting a milestone in the history of art.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
This construction combines the experience of the landscape and the exploitation of the activities of the river while at the same time it highlights the history of the place. The construction has three levels. On the lower floor there are mainly shops as well as restaurants and cafes, on the second level which is located at the height
of the road, Visitors can enjoy local products as well as go to the archaeological site. At the last level due to the altitude, visitors have the opportunity to admire the landscape but also to watch a theatrical performance. the sizes of the levels have been formed on the basis of the proportions of the temple of Dios by creating a proportional harmony.

DESCRIPTION
It is located in the center of Patras, a café designed to serve the hundreds of students of the city. Made of lightweight materials, its interior design gives the impression of an industrial style, as the material that were used are mainly glass metal and wood for the composition of the building. A modern space that adorns the narrow streets of Patras.

PROFESSOR: PANOS DRAGONAS
TYPE: DATA CENTER/PUBLIC PLAZA
SITE: PATRAS, GREECE
PARTNER: CHRISTINA GOURVELOU
PROJECT’S STATEMENT
It is the evolution of technology that has brought about the ecological crisis on the planet. Our goal is to raise the ecological awareness of citizens.
The data center collects Habitat Prism app data. This application is related to the ecology and environmental habits
APPLICATION
of the individual. The environmental footprint of each user is recorded, connecting smart devices (home, car, etc.)
and recording daily habits (walking, cycling, etc.). In addition, it gives the user advice on environmentally friendly actions.
CONNECTION WITH LOCATION
Retroactively, Patras expanded from the upper town built around the castle to the lower city built up to the boundary of the coastline. In relation to the city of Patras, the data center is an extension of the urban fabric as a symbol and beginning of a new third city-era.
Therefore, the data center is initially visually connected to the city, keeping a distance from the coastline and placed in the sea, separating the outdoor public space from the data center building.
PLAZA’S DESIGN
The design of the plaza includes the visual connection to the data center through an elevated footbridge and the practical through the port where it approaches it by boat.
It also includes canoe or sup, as well as rest points, bike lanes, children’s area and fitness equipment
The plaza gives the feeling that the data center is sinking and emerging
Drawing tools were curved shapes, organic forms and the science of biomimicry.
DATA CENTER
The face of the data center is the main means of interaction with humans. As a tall and imposing building it manages to be characterized as an inaccessible landmark. Morphologically, the building is compact and strict, protecting the data it keeps while it is “covered” by a second, perforated and indeterminate skin. From afar it reminds of something intangible, while as it is approached it acquires material substance, as is the case with the Internet.
The skin moves between two dimensions, the symbolic with the aim of sensitization (cloud) and the functional with the aim of protecting the environment and the autonomy of the building.
SECTION
The areas of the data center are not accessible by the visitor except visually through a vertical movement that has an exacerbation on the 30th floor overlooking the city.
SUSTAINABILITY
The project focuses on the exploitation of energy sources through the energy channeling of waves, the passive function of the epidermis (solar transparent panels) and the storage of kinetic energy of fitness instruments and bicycles.
