This thesis project which was carried out over the final year of the school of
Architecture triggered experimentation and introspective reflection concerning the
inextricable link between the building and the outdoor site.
Theselectionofthesiteaswellasofthisspecialsubjectwasbasedonthecultural
significance of the present archeological site but also on the long-term touristic
development of the site and of the surrounding area of Imathia Perfecture.
This subject concerns the design of a sculpture center in the limits of Vergina’s
contemporary settlement. The main sites consist of indoor and semi-outdoor
exhibition areas, guesthouses and workshops of the guest artists. The building plan
covers also a set of complementary spaces with an aim to accommodate the current
needs not only of the settlement but also of the other Archeological site in Aiges.
The aim of the project is to attract artists in the area and accommodating them
in guesthouses, while offering the opportunity to work in workshops or outdoors.
The artists are able to create, inspired by the aura of the place and their works will
remainthere.Overtime,thecharacterofthissettingwillbetransformedsincemore
artwork and installations will be added in situ.
The selected morphology has as an aim the creation of a building-landscape
which will be completely incorporated with the natural surrounding by designing

area concerning the semi-outdoor sculpture exhibition in order to establish a sense
of visual continuation and flow between the interior and exterior space
The building of the structured site retains a uniform sense in the entire range of
the museum since as roofing, pre-oxidated copper in brown hue is used. Thus, this
sense of continuation between the ground and the skin of the buildings is achieved.

Designing the urban landscape-Aristotelous St.
Academic year 2005-2006
The project is situated in the centre of
Thessaloniki and concerns the axis of Aristotelous
St., a place of particular importance to the life of
the city along its history, that took its final form via
a combined effort in its planning after the fire of
1917. Its main characteristic is the building front
that strengthens the cohesiveness and its
readability in the urban landscape.
The reduction of the use of open spaces in
combination with the creation of shopping centres
in the city district, lead to a new urban reality and
progressively to the decline of the historical
centre.
The current organization of axis of Aristotelous St.
that is based on the logic of apposition, is
characterized by a lack of uses and stimuli and
encourage phenomena of desolation and
abandonment.
Being aware of this danger and along with the
spirit of "urban acupuncture" we propose
structural interventions at the length of the axis
aiming at the creation of an attractive centre using
the same components of the city. The central idea
has intense references in the stratigraphy of the
city and its multicultural character. The building
front has been entire, the preserved ground will be
shaped suitably so that it combines the urban
uses. As regards the internal spaces of the blocks
of flats, they will rally strengthening the cohesive
image of the open space.
Thus, with this proposal the possibilities of social
contact, the ephemeral uses and the mobility of
the area, that becomes an attractive place, are
encouraged.

Landscape of “Beauty”, Academic Year 2006-2007
The site project is situated in the limits of the municipalities of Panorama and
Thermi in Thessaloniki and is characterized by an arrangement of “protection
and eco-evolvement”. Distinctive mark of the landscape is the intense terrain in
combination with the forest vegetation.
Aim of the planning is the creation of a park that would be addressed not only to
the residents of the region but also to a wider public covering a variety of wishes of
different users.
The need of disengagement by the modern way of urban life and the wish for a
mental and physical health led to the planning of an outdoor space that can restore
the contact of the individual with the nature.
The three main axes that form the planning are health, well-being
and beauty in combination with the recreation. There are functional units that

health issues, problems of today-beauty and well-being but also with exercise and
alternative treatments.
The landscape is modified with soft interventions that do not burden the bearing

Design and supervision of construction works of a 2-storey R/C residence in Komninio, Veria, Greece (in progress)
Design Team
Kiritopoulou Kiki Architect-Landscape Architect, Pavlos Kiritopoulos Civil Engineer
The project is about the design of a 2 storey building on the outskirts of the
mountainous settlement of Komninion in the Prefecture of Imathia. The existing plot
issituatedonthehillsideoftheVermionmountainandoffersapanoramicviewofthe
whole traditional village and of the woods on the other side
The owner’s desire was to create a residence for his family on the first floor and
a ground cafe with a vast area of playground for visitors from all over the prefecture
and mainly from the city of Veria. The main concept of the architectural design of
the building was to incorporate the contemporary style into the existing traditional
morphology that is used as well at the nearby 2 storey buildings.
As far as the surrounding space was concerned, an attempt to benefit from the
intenseinclinationwasmade,creatingdifferentexternalplanesofvariouslevelsthat
reachthelowestleveloftheplot.Theseareaswillbeusedas“balconies”maximizing
theabilityofthevisitortoenjoythepanoramicviewtothevillageandthemountainous
scenery. These levels are supported with retaining walls of reinforced concrete and
which are covered with tiles of limestone for aesthetic reasons. This area is the
“public” part of the surrounding space that is mainly used from the visitors-clients
of the cafe. On the upper level of the cafe -which is connected to the internal space-
along the eastern elevation of the building, an outdoor wooden (beams and purlins)
arbour with concrete columns and final covering with canvas is placed, creating an
additional protected balcony for the visitors.
The surrounding space is divided in two particular units according to the different
usages of the owners. Two main entrances are placed on the south border of the
plot, one for the visitors of the cafe and one private, along with a garage door for the
members of the family and the catering supply of the cafe. The northern part of the
outdoor space is “given” discreetly to the family with the creation of stepwise levels
of greenery that are supported with retaining walls having as a final covering tiles of
limestone.
The western border of the plot is planted with Cypressus Sempervirens and
Nerium Oleander to achieve optical exclusion from the nearby residences. The
stepwise levels of greenery are planted with various indigenous herbs (Rosmarinus
Officinalis,LavandulaAngustifolia,MyrtusCommunis,SantolinaChamaecyparissus)
and the eastern perimeter fence is covered with a low hedge of Pittosporum Tobira.
Various indigenous trees are placed in different spots of the surrounding space to
create distinct views, fragrances and shadows (Albizia Julibrissin, Pinus Pinea,
Platanus Orientalis, Cercis Siliquastrum). It should be noted that on the eastern
“balconies” no trees are planted in order to provide a smooth panoramic view to all
thevisitorsfromallthedifferentlevelsoftheoutdoorspacebutalsofromtheindoor

This architectural project concerns the 3d representation and the graphic design
of all the final blueprints of the proposal as well as the layout of the presentation
boards of an undergraduate thesis in the School of Architecture.
The subject of the thesis was the Design of a “Sensory Park” in the area of the
Dam of the artificial lake of Aliakmonas outside the city of Veria. The dam is used to-

(cycling, strolls, joking etc) have been created .
The proposed project involves the recreation of these routes with the addition of a
main entrance through which an underground pavillion will be situated and the con-
nection of the opposite banks by constructing a pontoon wooden bridge. The main
concept of the Park is the creation of sound games that are placed either along the
routes or in specific distinct parks. The routes also feature a bicycle road.
The sensory park is complemented with the creation of an underground Museum

“Platanon” Square is a site of great historical value and vital for the City of Veria.
Its current use as a car park results to the downgrading of the square’s quality and
its immediate urban context.
The presentstudy isbeingheldasan initiative ofthe Architects’Association ofthe
PrefectureofImathiainthefollowingwidercontext:‘releasing’theopenspacesfrom
allsortsofabuseandtransformingthemintogreenspots,wherevisitorswillbeable
to enjoy their walk, sit and relax.
There are four major design parameters within the planning process:
1. The triangular plan of the square and its small area.
2. The function of the immediate surroundings as well as the importance of
buildings of historical value.
3. The existence of three big planetrees within the square and the dominant over
ground appearance their roots.
4. Its current use as a car park.
To prevent cars from parking in the square, the architectural team suggested the
followingdesignsolutions:greenfences,lowstonebuildfences,minimumelevation

The design takes the most advantage of the larger area at the bottom of the triangle,
where the major benches and main entrance are located, together with a cross walk
path and bicycle racks. The top of the triangle is released by all kinds of use. A small
symbolic piece of art is being introduced instead, to declare the coexistence of the

ist, Papastergiou Kiki Architect, Evgenidis Georgios Mechanical Engineer
Assigned by
Municipality of Edessa, Location Edessa, Greece
The project concerned the redevelopment of a part of Arnissa’s settlement belonging
to the Municipality of Edessa and mainly three spatial units:
- Part of the settlement’s center
- A wider part of the settlement’s expansion and
-Awalkingtrackconstructedalongwiththeroadnetworkandwithimmediatevisual
contact of Lake Vegoritida.
The settlement of Arnissa is in a distance of approximately 20 klm from the city of
Edessa and is located close to the bounds of Pella’s and Florina’s Perfecture. It is by
the Lake Vegoritida while in close distance there are the Kaimaktsalan Ski Center and
the traditional settlement of Palios Agios Athanasios.
The basic planning principles are:
- Connection and cohesion of the incongruous and different,in relation to the
qualitative characteristics, spaces.
- Redress of the relationship between settlement-lake
- Replacement and reinforcement of the equipment and of infrastructure networks
( lighting, waterworks, drainage, irrigation)
- Ensuring unified characteristics and handling throughout the route. Creation of a
comprehensible and clear image of the settlement
- Aesthetic upgrading of the area through appropriate architectural management
(geometry, textures, rhythm e.t.c. ) as well as generation of varying visual and
kinaesthetic setting.
- Bioclimatic planning of the urban outdoor areas with extensive planting and
ecological operation for the management of rainwater.
- Sustainable treatment for the selection of building material and construction
methods as well as
- Minimisingthroughplanningthecostoftheproject’smanagementandmaintenance
Road engineering- Traffic regulations
The objectives of planning are increasing road safety, parking organization,car traffic
regulations,easy access for all pedestrians, the aesthetic improvement and aesthetic
emergence of the surrounding area.
Center Area
It is organized through fragmentary but of cohesive character spot interventions
aiming at the creation of a clear picture of the settlement’s entrance.
The material mainly used is cement pebblestones selected for the ideal adaptation
with the scenery’s colours. In addition, planting has dominant role for the generation
of a “green” settlement image.
At the same time, extensive planting takes place at an already existing park so that it
becomes more appealing and user-friendly.
Settlement expansion area
Planning and creation of a pavement network is suggested which will incorporate the
existing forms. It will thus, constitute a new network-receptor for the activities of the
local and outside users, functioning as a main attraction for the passing tourists and
contributing to the economy of the settlement.
Pedestrian Area-Route with a lake view
This is how this route operates currently, as a standard route with many users-
residents of the settlement.

Marine urban public transport in Thessaloniki: Architectural Competition for the design of the ship docks
Design team
Dimopoulos Yiorgos Architect Kiritopoulou Kiki Architect-Landscape Architect, Lakkas Thomas Architect
Tha architectural competition concerned a study in the city of Thessaloniki that
was seeking ideas in the form of drafts for the construction of building facilities on
thepiersof thesea stops whichserveas ticketoffices, passengers’waiting spots, an
area of system control, refectory services and public restrooms. The architectural
competition involves four such stops : in Platia Eleftherias , the Concert Hall, in Kal-
amaria’sportandinPerea,whichconnectthebasicurbansearouteofThessaloniki’s
urban layout.
CENTRAL IDEA- SYNTHETIC PRINCIPLES
The directional principle of the architectural proposal is defined by the intention
of these four stops to form a visual subject of plastic value so that they will conform
to the plasticity of the expanded lines of the seafront which despite its distortion it
continues to constitute the most idyllic feature of the city’s identity.
This synthetic principle is mainly realized through the construction of an angular
ridged canopy surface with intense and different variations in its pitch. This surface
becomes autonomous in order to develop a distinct visual significance through
understressing, blandness but also through the gentle and transparent character of
the vertical morphic features – glass panel and blinds- which serve as a supporting
“pedestal”.
Thankstothisstrongvisualpresentationoftheangularridgedcanopysurfacethese
stopsacquireacommonarchitecturalfacethatintegratesthemintoaunifiedsystem
of marine transportation. At the same time though, this feeling of commonplace is
discontinued and the much required recognition of each stop is established through
minor changes to the ground plan and to the inclination of the canopy’s surface.
This will be realised mostly by adding emblematic upright sculptural forms which
serve as a landmark. These sculptural forms except for their above mentioned role,
function as photovoltaic panels stressing the significance of the renewable energy
sources.

Organized by
Municipality of Thessaloniki Location Thessaloniki, Greece
The object of this study is to reform “Freedom Square” (Platia Eleftherias), an un-
structured open urban space in the centre of Thessaloniki. The aim of this project is
to transform the square into an open and accessible space for the citizens, highlight
its historical significance while connecting it to the surrounding area.
The basic enhancement proposal of the project gives particular emphasis both
in the opening and visual fleeing of the square to the sea and the city, towards to
those directions of interest in terms of historical, architectural, commercial and
entertainment importance.

of the square. On the three sides (east, north and west) of the square, slopes are
constructedsoastocreatealargegreenspace,elementthatismissinginthecurrent
form of the square. The existing green is amplified by planting two hedgerows of
Judas trees (Cercis siliquastrum) emphasizing the axis connecting the pedestrian

The square is not only a moving and walking public space but also a place where
somebody can stop, a meeting point and an area used for community gathering.
Regarding staging points, those are placed both around the entire perimeter of the
slopes as well as to their inner parts. Additionally, seats are placed north alongside
hedgerowsoftheKalapothakistreetaxiswheretherewasapartofthecity’s’ancient
sea wall.
Information points are placed in the southwestern and northeastern part of the
squareandatthepierlocatedsoutheastofthesquare,whichistransformedwiththe
objective of creating a perceptual unification with the square. At the west of the dock
is placed a floating wooden structure with seats.
An important design factor concerning “Freedom Square” (Platia Eleftherias)
constituted the bioclimatic approach ensuring visual, thermal and acoustic comfort
of the outdoor area, achieved by planting, spot-positioning of water jets and use of
adequate lighting fixtures (eg solar panels).
The position of lighting and the materials choice is done in a way to achieve the
required lighting conditions, the energy saving and the enhancement of specific
points of interest while preventing light pollution and at the same time yielding the
desired aesthetic effect.
The position of lighting, the choice of materials and the lamp operation is done
in a way to achieve the required lighting conditions, the energy economy and the
emergence of specific points of interest, while for preventing light pollution but also
the yield of the desired aesthetic effect.
To conclude, the materials and design choices of urban furniture are used to
both mark and differentiate uses, but also as elements that give a special identity to
“Freedom Square” (Platia Eleftherias).

“Yeni Cami” historic mosque in Edessa – Conducting a study for the restoration-
reuse and recreation of the surrounding area.
Conducting studies with an aim to document, restore and reuse the ottoman
mosque “Yeni Cami” in Edessa is included in the actions of the 11th Ephorate of
Byzantine Antiquities. This particular monument is located in the city of Edessa and
specificallyinthecentreofthecity,inthesouthernsectionwhichformedtheTurkish
district during the Turkish occupation. It has been declared a historic preserved
monument since 1937 and constitutes the only Ottoman temple which is saved in its
original form in Edessa.
The present monument restoration study is accompanied by the surrounding
area’s restoration study and by the reuse of surrounding buildings’ study. This
proposal refers to a contemporary urban landscape which will serve the citizens
promptly but will also alleviate their direct urban surroundings while at the same
time attract visitors all, in conjuction with the urban design, the total restoration of
the monument and the broader gentrification of this area.

The archaelogical site of Aigai. The ancient city and the Nekropolis
Taking into account the site monuments’ particularities and protection
requirements, as well as the urban planning model of the ancient city itself with
its scattered urban structure, through these projects it is adopted a “holistic” and
dynamic approach to the archaeological site – museum – visitor connection by
suggesting the creation of a multiform, multifunctional, flexible and constantly-
evolving Multi-Centre Museum. This Museum will consist of distinct units scattered
around, and will “embrace” and integrate the archaeological site.
The current exhibitions (the Royal Burial Cluster of Philip II) are enriched with the
addition of the completed project that concerns the protection and the enhancement
of the Cemetery of the Tumuli that is actually an archaeological park.
The vast area of this particular archaeological site that is situated across the
existing Museum, is dominated by tombs of the Homeric type, i.e. accumulated
earth that covers the actual tomb and a sign bearing the name and father’s name
of the dead. More than five-hundred (500) burial tumuli constitute the core of the
archaeological site of Aigai.
“Modification and promotion of the royal burial cluster of the Temenid dynasty”
The aim of the project was to offer to the visitor the possibility to walk through the
existing tombs, to be informed in different areas about the historical background of
the site, to be connected over existing streams through modern constructed walk-
ways, to visit open-air monument units that are excavated and enhanced throughout
the construction works (construction of permanent canopies of protection and en-
hancement of protection). The archaeological park is enriched with the vegetation of
approximately 7.000 indigenous greek trees and plants, that were planted and pre-
served with the installation of an irrigation system during this project.
The cemetery contains important open-air monument units, such as the Royal
Burial Cluster of the Temenids and the Burial cluster with the unplundered grave
that came to light in the autumn of 2014, which will soon be accessible to the public
and thus will enable visitors to have an integrated and dynamic view of the ancient
Macedonian capital and its historical significance.
The project that is completed by the Ephorate of Antiquities of prefecture of Im-
athia constitutes part of the integrated proposal for the management and promo-
tion of the archaeological site of Aigai and formulate the concept of the Multi-centre
Museum. Project: “Restoration-Promotion of the Royal Necropolis and the Palace
of Aigai. 3rdPhase.” Budget €1,840,530.00. Project co-funded by Greece and the Eu-
ropean Union (National Strategic Reference Framework, Regional Operational Pro-
gram of Central Macedonia).
