Lecture by the architect - urban planner Evgenios Balasis entitled: "Urban micro-homes in Thessaloniki under economic crisis". Thursday, May 4, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., in room Δ.
The lecture takes place in the context of Architectural Composition IV-V I B: Hybrid Ecologies (2022/23) studio taught by Sophia Vyzoviti, Professor, Dept. Architecture, UTH.
Abstract
Evgenios Balasis, architect - planner, discusses the reuse of the city's abandoned small shops and their transformation into ground-floor microhome lofts. The presentation displays a case study (Balasis & Dova architects) unfolding the entire process, from the acquisition of an 18 sq.m. shop, to its return to the real estate market as a loft studio, as well as some similar urban microhomes, designed and built in Thessaloniki by the architects S. Georgelis, E. Balasis, M. Mylonas and I. Nikolaidis.
