The theme of this Diploma project thesis is inspired by the work of the great artistic personality of the music composer Vangelis Papathanasiou, internationally recognized with the name “Vangelis”, born in Agria of Volos. The cultural contribution of Papathanasiou is enormous, with global scale and a musical compositional attitude unique in this field. His work was particularly successful in the film industry and in accompanying space exploration missions of N.A.S.A. and E.S.A. The purpose of this project is the design of a building highlighting the work of Vangelis in the wider area of his birthplace, which will offer the opportunity for visitors to know his work as well as for young artists to be inspired and create new music compositions in his place of origin.

 The structure of this design booklet includes five chapters. The first presents a brief survey of Vangelis' musical personality and the second chapter attempts to connect architecture with musical composition in order to discover their common grounds and through them to highlight interrelated principles and characteristic elements. The third chapter presents the architectural program and design of the building with a given name Center for Musical Experience and Creation. This chapter elaborates on the selection principles of the location site, the assumptions of the architectural design and the analysis of drawings and 3d images. The fourth chapter refers to the building materials of the design while the next fifth to the construction details of the building. The last sixth chapter is the bibliography and at the end an appendix is presented where it includes additional material of progress of the architectural design.
