* The BIODIVERSITY TRAILSstarted in the course URBAN PLANTING (Mrs. Thalia Marou) with walking trails in the outdoor space of the Polytechnic School of UTH and the abandoned part of Pedion of Areos, continue with the visit of Karla Lake and one or two more walking trails in urban post-industrial spaces in Volos. Organisation and implementation by Eliki Diamantouli (architectural engineer UTH, on-going master student in landscape architecture TUM, visiting student at UTH for her research).
On Thursday 18/05/2023 at 19:00 [UTC+3] a webinar lecture entitled "Τask failed successfully" by Fala Atelier, based in Portugal, will take place.
BOOK PRESENTATION AND SCREENING
Tuesday 16 May, 19:00

After the first presentation of the book at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens, which was held as a guided tour in selected works from the Museum’s permanent collection, its presentation in Volos is accompanied by the screening of Ursula Biemann's film "Performing the Border" (1999), which is available online, as well as by a discussion with the participation of Elena Tzelepis and Petros Phokaides. Alexandros Mazarakis Ainian and Michalis Zoumboulakis will kindly open the event on behalf of the University of Thessaly Press.
The volume, edited by the research team of the CNMFPP, is a collection of seminal feminist texts that creatively interconnect feminism, technology and art, aiming to open a dynamic interdisciplinary and intersectional dialogue and contribute to the relevant Greek bibliography.
The publication was funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) and the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) and is available in printed form as well as an open access e-book.
The event is supported by the Gender Equality and Anti-Discrimination Committee of the University of Thessaly.

Lecture by Agnieszka Rumież entitled: "Mathematical method for architects". Thursday, May 11, 2023, at 15:00 a.m., in room Δ.
The lecture takes place in the context of PRÊT-À-PLIER (2022/23) studio taught by Sophia Vyzoviti, Professor, Dept. Architecture, UTH.
Abstract
Agnieszka Rumież, architect and architectural historian and theoretical mathematician, discusses state of relationship between architecture and mathematics in contemporary architectural design. She will present a vast scope of possible applications of mathematical modeling in series of case studies: [1] framework of dynamics of architectural improvisation, [2] constructive means of graph theory in automated generation of floorplans, [3] supportive role of machine learning in decision process in heritage protection of modern cultural assets.
