BUILDING STRUCTURES AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Biography

Maria Vrontissi holds a Diploma of Architecture Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, a Master in Design Studies with a specialization in Design Technology from Harvard University Graduate School of Design and a Doctor of Sciences from the Chair of Structural Design (Prof. Dr. J. Schwartz) of the Department of Architecture at ETH-Zurich. She has been awarded the Peter Rice Prize for innovation in structural design and architecture for her research in tensile membrane structures.

She has worked for FTL-Happold in New York for the design of special structures and for architectural firms in Athens for residential, commercial and public building projects, namely for the Faliron complex for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games (Thimios Papayiannis & Associates). She has taught courses as adjunct faculty in Building Structures and Architectural Technology at the Department of Architecture at the University of Thessaly (2001-2008) and the University of Patras (2007-2008), as well as abroad (ENPC-ParisTech, ETH-Zurich), and has led numerous design-build workshops. She has joined the faculty of the Department of Architecture in 2010, where she currently serves as Professor in Building Structures and Architectural Design. Since 2005 she is the academic coordinator of the Building Structures Research Unit [ ma[K]e ], a working group that holds teaching and research activities on small-scale architectural structures.

Her research interests focus on structural design issues and topics related to design education, inter-disciplinarity in the design process, as well as lightweight and small-scale structures. Her doctoral research at the Chair of Structural Design at the Department of Architecture at ETH-Zurich discusses the role of the physical model as means for projective inquiry in structural design studies within architecture education and explores architectural design methodologies informing structural design.
