Research Paper & Thesis Project

A research on Smart, Responsive, Sustainable and Biophilic
Cities in order to understand what a Future Resilient City
would need, to function as an almost Utopic City. Based on
that research I designed a project in the city of Volos with the
future goal of a Resilient City and influenced by the Covid
Pandemy concequences on our daily lives.

8. PREAMBLE
Architecture, as essential, should meet
the basic needs of habitability and adapt
to the native uses and traditions of those
who inhabit it. A dwelling should comprise
of spaces that understand cultural values
and daily activities rooted in communities.
A house should be the comfort zone, a
refuge for its inhabitants. Creating the
sensation of coziness with the feelings of
wellness and contentment achieved through
the combination of materiality of elements,
proportions of spaces, colors used, natural
and artificial lighting, furniture, etc.
01 REVIVAL
As our cities are growing horizontally, we
are destroying our planet at a fast pace.
Bringing back to life existing structures,
as more as possible, is of great importance,
not only by an environmental point of view,
but also as an act of recreation of unique
spaces and atmospheres.
Spaces should increase occupant connectivity
to the natural environment through the use
of direct and indirect nature. Unique spaces
made with natural textures, materials and
endemic vegetation placed across a semi-
exterior space bringing the sunrays and
the breeze inside the house. Influence of
nature can be seen in the form of logia,
winter garden or plants in the house.
02BIOPHILIA
In response to the multiple needs that
must be met in the private sphere, ample
space will give users the freedom to
appropriate the place and will encourage
individual interpretation of inhabiting
the space. This can be achieved by using
not only the horizontal footprint but
also the height of the space and ethereal
partitions. The minimum comfortable size
for a dwelling should be determined based
on the combination of utility spaces (40%),
usable spaces (40%) and intermediate spaces
(20%).
03GENEROSITY
9. 9
Dwelling should consist of flexible layers,
offering different degrees of desired privacy,
according to alternative activities of
life. Extending the limits of the interior
space that maximize natural light and
increase the eye perception through floor
to ceiling openings, terraces, balconies
or galleries and have a significant meaning
for a balanced transition between private,
semi-private and public.
The dwelling should always have a
transitional space that acts as a buffer
zone when changing between different social
stages of the spectrum and on the same time
it should be able to unfold as the natural
flow of movement. This kind of spaces can
be materialized in an entrance, a hall, a
corridor or a balcony.
04IN & OUT 05IN-BETWEEN
The residents must participate and control
the interior’s seasonal climatic experience
through passive design elements. The units
must have at least two different orientations,
cross ventilation, room height windows,
local materiality and dynamic facade
mechanisms to control lighting.
07BIOCLIMATISM
Creating unconventional transitional spaces
in the building used by all inhabitants,
will create the sense of community and
encourage the socialization of the dwellers.
A void space that will have the potential
to foster human connection, could take the
shape of a balcony, corridor, courtyard,
roof top, ground floor and intermediate
space within the living environment.

spaces, making them part of the
everyday routes and eventually
of the daily life.
Future goal is to reduse the private transportation
even more, and possibly transform the roads into
green hicking roads, livestock roads and bicycle lines.

intervention in a quarry
Course Leader: Konstantinos Manolidis
Student: Irina Papadaki
Duration: 4 months
Project Location: Volos, Greece

According to tradition, the first production of tsipouro was the work of Greek Orthodox monks in the 14th
century on Mount Athos in Macedonia, Greece. Nowadays the most traditional place for tsipouro is Volos.
PRODUCTION PROCEDURE:
Ripe dark grapes are passed through destemmers. The mass is left to settle for a few days, just enough to get
fermentation started. Formerly, wine would be collected and only the solid residue would be used for tsipou-
ro to get the most out of the plant. Today some producers use the whole of the pulp, without taking out the
must for wine production. This results to a superior product, called “apostagma”, sold at approximately twice
the price of tsipouro. In the next stage, the mass is fed into distillation units, where temperature and pressure
are closely monitored. The first and last distinct batches are discarded. Only the intermediate batch is kept to
make tsipouro. This process is repeated to obtain doubly distilled tsipouro, which might be superior. Finally,
the distillate is left to settle and mature in stainless steel tanks. It can also be aged in wooden barrels to give
‘aged tsipouro’, a relatively new beverage that can be compared to whiskey.
