This project was the result of a two-week workshop in Amsterdam, in collaboration with Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, and was further elaborated on a more specialized individual level. This proposal of urban intervention in a neighborhood in Amsterdam West focuses on the concpet of a healthy lifestyle as an element of social intergration. The functional segregation noted in the area is adressed by turning the adjacent hospital from a sick house to a health hub, where illnesses are not only cured but prevented through a set of various functions, which bring life and activity to the area.

In the next phase of the same project, further elaboration was made on a specific part of the propos-al. The realisation of the “Passage”tree column structure was a special challenge. The topology and dimensioning of the braches, as well as the roof structure needed to be defined, in order to:1. maximize solar gain2. minimize material use 3. provide an architectural landmark

Big and Tall is a multidisciplinary workshop optional in the MSc2. It suggests a wholistic approach on one large scale project, dealing with different aspects of the same problem. The goal was to achieve an ,as much as possible, integral result, which sucessfully adresses the architectural, structural, fa-cade, climate and computational challenges. This project was the result of team work, where each member was in charge of a different discipline, through constant feedback and collaboration.

The main goal was to create, out of an indoor ski-center, a strong attraction point for the area which envisions future urban development,

The main idea was to to create a bowl-shaped piste, aiming for a more natural and social skiing ap-proach, as opposed to the monotony of repetitive straight pistes. Around this spiral bowl ,develop the different functions on many levels, surrounded by a large parc area. On the northern half are placed the functions related to the snowdome and entertainment, while the southern half is occupied by long term residences, common gardens, and everyday use services.Special climate treatment was developped for the functions’ special demands and orientation.

This project aims to reform the original Crystal Palace, built in 1851 in Hyde Park, this time using entirely structural glass. Focus was put on the structural design scheme, element modularity and the connection principles. Hand calculations and digital simulations (using TNO DIana) were performed to verify structural integrity. The Crystal Tower project follows the same functional outline as the Crystal Palace, serving as an international exhibition hall with a quite open space strcture. The main concept was to use a grid of hyperboloid towers to support the span of the building. The most challenging part of this design has been the very complex geometry of the glass elements of the towers, which, even though they are straight, their connection is under an angle in both directions, requiring for customized connections.

Each vertical element of the tower are consid-ered as one column from top to bottom, which is clamped at the points of intersection. The loads taken into account were the self-weight of the elements and the imposed loads, for the floor and the roof accordingly. Wind loads were taken into consideration, but were not calcu-lated for.

This project has been the result of the the team work of 35 people, from the parametric design phase up to the actual construction of a small pavillion. The construction took place in Turkey, in collabo-ration with yashar University in Izmir. The project was particularly challenging due to the innovative aspect added by the use of double curved fiber reinforced stable mold panels. A special adjustable mold developped by TU Delft was used for the occasion, and molds were made by customized la-sercut MDF panels. Teams were formed to work on the design, the panelization, the connections and the structural analysis of the pavillion, The complexity of this challenge but also the participation of all students in every step of the process comprises a unique experience and the final result has been more than rewarding.

academic/ graduation project _individual project July 2014/ National Technical University of Athens

This diploma project is centered on the reconstruction and upgrade of the stadium for Panionios F.C., originally constructed in 1939. The most interesting given is that it is located inside a dense urban tis-sue, surrounded by medium to small scale residential buildings, unlike most stadiums of its size. The challenge in this case was to manage to preserve the basic structure and to produce a more extrovert, unified and functional structure, able to function on a large as well as a neighborhood scale.

NEW STRUCTURE_ GROUND LEVEL PLAN AND SECTION

The main goal has been the smooth integration of a structure of such a massive structure to the neighborhood, so that it preserves its landmark character, but at the same time be in a constant dialog with the city rhythm. Extroversion was achieved by attributing public-related functions to the external periphery of the stadium. In the same direction, an intense passage was created, purposed for con-trolled public use. The unification is completed with the construction of a canopy running all through the square in an S-shape.

Diagram of shear forces Q

The concept for the canopy was a folded structure that meanders, creating different qualities of space underneath. The form finding procedure was parametrically aided by grasshopper, given the demand-ed plan view and the positioning of load bearing elements.In collaboration with the Metal Structure Lab, in the Civil Engineering Department, the particular L shaped elements were defined, structurally independently from the rest of the structure. The filling is made by metal panels on each side of the beams, and the rainwater is removed through a linear gut-ter.

The purpose of this project was to study and resolve issues associated with the integration of a large-scale public building in the urban tissue, its complex functional conformation and vertical growth.The neighborhood, named Kastella, is one of fastest developing and increasingly popular of the city of Piraeus, which is showing in general some signs of degradation.

plan view_ second level

The intense verticality demonstrated by the immense concrete wall in the northern side of the site was the ba-sis for this dynamic design, aiming to functionally bridge the two levels. The art center evolves around this axis, in a balance between public and private, inviting the visitor

to discover its different aspects.
