The document describes design proposals for the Center for the Promotion of Traditional Metal Arts in Stemnitsa, Arcadia, Greece. The center aims to showcase and educate visitors about metal crafts. Key elements of the design include creating a rotating and accessible space to explore the exhibitions in a non-linear way. Display areas, workshops, and storage are arranged to allow the visitor to discover the space. Respecting the scale and size of the particular crafts was also important in the design formation.

1. KATEXAKI SQUARE
Collective Planning and Design
The first target of the design was the creation of a new “destination” in the city the
port city of Chania. Secondly the notion of a “courtyard of culture” was introduced
to support the view of a space that works and operates as a new cultural hub in the
city. A third axis was the “memory sections”, design strategies that helped us solve
the issue of the historical memory and the probability of archaeological findings (the
square is located over a part of the Old Shipyards of Chania). Finally the pedestrian
routes and the issue of mobility also influenced the final designs.
Hence, the urban design composition was centered on combining different “layers”
of information. The pedestrian routes, the design guides used to revitalize and im-
prove the old Byzantine Wall, as well as the archeological excavations areas were
among the “layers” that formed the final design proposal.

2. “Eleftherias” (liberty) SQUARE
Collective Planning and Design
The proposal aims mainly to transform “Eleftherias” square into an important public
space of the center of Thessaloniki. The basic strategies for the design are: the
utilization of historical memory as a composition tool, the enhancement and rear-
rangement of the special relationship between land and sea, the amplification of
movement and coexistence within the square and the environmental and economic
sustainability. We design the entry of water into the city and the entry of the city into
the sea through the design of a wide water zone within the square and the redesign
of a small pier of the area. Additionally a big wooden structure is designed on the
new pier, which resembles a picture frame gate for the sea into the square and vice
versa. The historical memory is amplified by the placement in specific spots of me-
tallic slabs, on top of which information regarding historical events are engraved.

3. A trademark square for the city of Serres, who converses with historical heritage
but boldly explores the new, the future and the sustainable. Becoming a square that
supports and welcomes the move, the speed, but the market incorporating a space
that promotes sustainable mobility, energy saving, green areas and especially to
attract young people especially.
The most powerful compositional element in the design is the creation of a green
“mat”. We managed very different alignments to the ground, searching the
integration, diversity and the creation of different smaller spaces. A very particular
element of our proposal is the placement of “rain gardens» by combining the use
of porous materials and roof gardens above the underground parking with ground
cover and herbaceous plants.

4. BALKAN SQUARE & THEATRE
Collective Planning and Design
The proposal uses a design language which takes advantage of the topography
(intense slopes, views) in order to form a unity which combines a multitude of social
activities (culture, sports, entertainment). Use of “cold materials” and the further
development of green spaces helps in the enhancement of the thermal behavior
of space and the improvement of the microclimate. Furthermore we choose to use
slow traffic solutions as a basic aspect of the traffic study.The new building volumes
are linked in the wider solutions of the permeability networks and the natural charac-
teristics. The design of the parking garage is based on the topography contributing
in the economy of construction. Lastly the urban equipment is designed with the use
of environmentaly friendly solutions and the use of recycled construction materials.

The main concept is the Sustainable Urban Block (SUB). The idea explores a
methodology, as well as specific context driven planning tools, which can contribute
to the sustainability of the urban life block in the minor scale. A city therefore, as a
multiplexity of numerous such building blocks, could through the application of a
reproducible specific methodology develop a novel sustainable approach to modern
urban life. The proposal includes, except from a colorful architectural design, ap-
propriate for a deeply degraded public space with special “highlights” (such as the
public hot water baths, areas with sand, canopies and new plants), a rich mobility
and energy management toolbox (bike lanes, bike sharing, car sharing, car and bus
charging, traffic calming intersections, underground robotic parking, transparent
photovoltaic panels).

6. 1st LYCEUM IN CHANIA
Collective Planning and Design
The program “the street has it’s own story, they said that children wrote it” (taken
from a Greek song), started on April 2014 as an educational program of the 1st High
School of Chania. The aim was, firstly, to help school students to learn about urban
design and planning, urban redevelopment, the regeneration of urban environment
etc. Secondly to introduce the students in designing on their own the streets around
the High School building, with the use of simple materials, ephemeral structures,
colors and plants. The final objective is to transform the street into a ‘shared space’.

7. THESSALONIKI CONCERT HALL - PHASE B
Arata Isozaki, detailed design by Nikos Goulias
Role
I worked on this project for a year. I was mainly producing 2d draw-
ings in autocad in scales from 1:100 to 1:1. Frequent visits with the
leader architect and supporting the construction site was also an
important part of my job. During the final phase of delivering the de-
tailed design I sucessfully managed a design team of 7 architects and
technicians in order to complete aprox. 1000 drawings.
Designed by the renowned architect Arata Isozaki, Μ2 (building 2) adorns the city
with a unique construction that epitomizes the virtues of modern architecture. Geo-
metrical lines, extended glass surfaces and elements of steel compose an image
of imposing simplicity. Filled with natural light and enjoying superb view to the sea,
M2’s foyer develops in three levels. The foyer’s three different levels are visible from
all locations and communicate by staircases and elevators.Equipped with cut-
ting-edge technology and having an exceptional infrastructure, including translation
booths and remote control audiovisual equipment, the main hall is principally aimed
to host conventions, conferences, seminars and other secular events. Having been
acoustically modeled, it is also ideal for concerts and performances given by smaller
groups or solo artists; the prismatic volumes of concrete reflect important frequen-
cies and eliminate resonance.

MUSEUM FOR METAL CRAFTS
freelance
The architectural study for the centre in Stemnitsa follows and yet
actively contributes in the mulitiplicate targeting of contemporary museum - educa-
tional perception.
Key components for the space formation are the principles of rotation and accessi-
bility. The design of the museum itinerary serves a morphology of exploration. The
visitor is invited to wander and discover a space configuration that does not reveal
in advance the entire exhibition. In terms of respecting the scale and size of the
particular space, without excesses that will disappoint the visitor (e.g. continuous
straight routes or overuse of labyrinthine space formation) the morphology of explo-
ration is created.

10. BUNGALOWS IN KOUFONISSIA
freelance
The architectural project envisages the creation of six buildings covering 400 sq.m.
The outdoor spaces are following the natural slope of the site and the whole area is
being divided into smaller spaces. Courtyards, green areas and these of common
use form an intresting architectural proposal while being linked by paths-paved
streets. The study provides parking spots for all dwellings. A key criterion was the
proper orientation for adequate lighting and ventilation of all premises.Switching the
layout of the complex South - Southeast as a “lap” ensures the important prereq-
uisites for space of high quality: a) sea view optimasitation , b) dwelling develop-
ment around a central area that also hosts the pool and c) optimised orientation of
terraces and courtyard to the south while at the same time buildings protect open
areas from northern breeze. Both setup and materials follow the tradition of Cyclad-
ic architecture.

11. THISSION BUTIQUE HOTEL
Nikos Goulias Architects
Situated since 1966 next to the archaeological sites the building of Thission hotel
was renovated retaining only the bearing structure. It consists of basement, three
floors and a roof garden of about 180 m2 each. Renovation aimed to create a hotel
with an emphasis on multi-purpose spaces, exhibition spaces and events,
presentations and receptions, dining and entertainment, while creating suites of
high quality and aesthetic standards. The architectural choices through form and
use of proper materials create an austere geometric rectangular prism, in which
rhythm and order is reminded. Externally and internallyis gray sandstone is used as
a reference to the rock colours around the archaeological site. White marble slabs
on both the facades and the balcony ceilings semantically refer to the “feather”
(pteron) of ancient temples.

12. Cartography and Map processing for the new strategic plan was a continuation of a
previous cooperation with the Organization for Planning and Environmental Protec-
tion of Athens for the corresponding draft of 2011. The production of a new draft for
the Strategic Plan for Athens / Attica at the end of 2013 was accompanied by a cor-
responding adjustment of the maps and diagrams made with the contribution of our
team. Nine maps* were produced in GIS background followed by graphic design.
