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.

The selection of the site as well as of this special subject was based on the cultural 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 remain there. Over time, the character of this setting will be transformed since more 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 folds which are deconstructed in various heights and lengths depending on the inner heights of the different uses. Corresponding handlings took place in the surrounding 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 AristotelousSt., 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 2006-2007The 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

demonstrate these meanings through individual and group activities while link is a central network of circulation that serves apart from the pedestrians, the vehicles. The outdoor space becomes an educational tool where is emphasized the contact

of the individual with the nature, while he is acquainted with farming practices, 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 ability of its ecosystems. The building shells (greenhouses, community centres, roofed outdoor spaces) have geometries that are incorporated in the terrain while they function organising elements referring to pictures of the Greek rural landscape.

Project

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 is situated on the hillside of the Vermion mountain and offers a panoramic view of the 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 intense inclination was made, creating different external planes of various levels that reach the lowest level of the plot. These areas will be used as “balconies” maximizing the ability of the visitor to enjoy the panoramic view to the village and the mountainous 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, Lavandula Angustifolia, Myrtus Communis, Santolina Chamaecyparissus) 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 the visitors from all the different levels of the outdoor space but also from the indoor space.

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-day as a Hydroelectric Station and around the lake outdoor routes for various usages (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 of sound installations.There is a green roof at the top of the building that is accessible for the public. Different facilities are also offered inside such as a cafe, restaurant, a vast multi-purpose recreation area, two Lecture Halls,a Library and different Ex-hibition areas according to the themes that will be presented to the visitors. Finally, an underground parking area is constructed to facilitate the extra number of visitor vehicles that will be visiting the area.

“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 present study is being held as an initiative of the Architects’ Association of the Prefecture of Imathia in the following wider context: ‘releasing’ the open spaces from all sorts of abuse and transforming them into green spots, where visitors will be able 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 following design solutions: green fences, low stone build fences, minimum elevation of the square’s border as well as decorative heavy duty barriers i.e(concrete spheres). 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 three different cultures of the city of Veria -the christian, the ottoman and the jewish.

Research topic: ObjectiveThe landscape architecture research on a complete project for the enhancement

of the urban scene of the city of Veria is based on the analysis of this specific scene so as to highlight, make the most of, and restore the natural sites of the city.

The proposal for the creation of a contemporary cityscape, in relation to the specific potential of the site, forms the aspects of the research which is not limited in exploration and validation of the findings, but also covers the composition both in terms of planning and design of a pilot program towards the achievement of this goal.

The objective of this project/program is the perceptional and ecological enhancement of the locations where parts of the ancient city wall and local routes lay. It concerns redevelopments planned uniformly as a network and they project modern urban space in the context of a sustainable prospect for the city and the surrounding area.

Outlining the project• Pedestrians’ moves are considerably improved• The traffic of vehicles is better organized• The width of pavements is increased• Car parking along the streets is regulated• Principles of bioclimatic design and sustainable design for the environment are implemented• City space is rendered functional• The urban landscape is modernized and enhanced both ecologically and aesthetically• The wider city surroundings is understood by both the pedestrians and the motorists• The cityscape gains comprehensibility spaciousness and continuation• All the monuments as well as the cultural an natural cityscape are highlighted• The prospect of an expansion expansion to the entire urban scene according to plan is entailed

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- A walking track constructed along with the road network and with immediate visual 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 - Minimising through planning the cost of the project’s management and maintenance

Road engineering- Traffic regulationsThe 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 AreaIt 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 areaPlanning 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 viewThis is how this route operates currently, as a standard route with many users-residents of the settlement.Seating spaces – stops- small plateaus shaded by trees are created or even construction of Pergolas type, for informal encounters and conversation as well as playgrounds for both children and adults.Cast floors are used with little alternations from cement cobblestones which provide a pattern during the course, while lighting is formed on the spot and under the seating, giving a sense of movement to the landscape. Extensive planting of special character takes place aiming to the improvement of the microclimate without interfering with the landscape’s profile and without competing with prevailing lake.

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 the piers of the sea stops which serve as ticket offices, 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’s port and in Perea, which connect the basic urban searoute of Thessaloniki’s urban layout.

CENTRAL IDEA- SYNTHETIC PRINCIPLESThe 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”.

Thanks to this strong visual presentation of the angular ridged canopy surface these stops acquire a common architectural face that integrates them into a unified system 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.

Recreation of “Freedom Square” (Platia Eleftherias) in Thessaloniki

Design team

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.

In the centre of the south side of the square, bleachers are placed and low planting locally, while across these ramp and staircase leading the visitor to the central part of the square. On the three sides (east, north and west) of the square, slopes are constructed so as to create a large green space, element that is missing in the current form of the square. The existing green is amplified by planting two hedgerows of Judas trees (Cercis siliquastrum) emphasizing the axis connecting the pedestrian Kalapothaki street to the region of Ladadika, while the squares’ interior remains free.

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 hedgerows of the Kalapothaki street axis where there was a part of the city’s’ ancient sea wall.

Information points are placed in the southwestern and northeastern part of the square and at the pier located southeast of the square, which is transformed with the 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 specifically in the centre of the city, in the southern section which formed the Turkish 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 design of the surrounding landscape in the area where “Yeni Cami” is situated has as a primary objective the creation of a unified green area which does not confine through strict boundaries or high fencing the outline of the monument, but rather lets it “loose”. One basic element of this proposal is the conjuncture of the planted median strip with the nearby block and the creation of a larger outdoor space capable of hosting even more users-visitors than today that is restricted within the limits of an almost unformed playground in front of the kindergarten building.

The archaelogical site of Aigai. The ancient city and the NekropolisTaking 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).
