February 10-20 , 2017 | 9.00-21.00 daily
Foyer, Department of Architecture
In a work-in-progress format, the exhibition includes the student works - in physical models solely - that were produced during the exploration process towards the articulation of the structural design concept of an architectural structure based on a specific cultural event.
Challenging the prevailing typological practices, the course discusses structural design issues from a topological perspective.
In a teaching framework, the course consists of a series of exercises/ subsequent readings aiming to extract the concrete or abstract properties of the event and translate them to qualities of the spatial composition or/ and principles of the structural arrangement.
In a research context, the work attempts to approach the structural concept as a design resource and investigate the physical model as a tool for diagrammatic reasoning.

Αt the epicenter of this one-day conference is the “spatialisation” of theoretical discourses of “emergency”, with reference to the city of Volos. Continuities and discontinuities, ruptures and completions in the urban space, traces of the need for housing and habitation will be addressed. In other words, specific aspects of habitation and housing during historical “emergency” circumstances will be examined.
