About me
I have studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens, Newcastle University and the University of Edinburgh (ESALA), from where I hold a Phd in Architecture by Design. I have practiced architecture in Greece, where I am a registered architect member of the TEE (Technical Chambers of Greece), and taught architectural design and theory at Newcastle University and the University of Edinburgh (ESALA).
Area of expertise
My doctoral research (The Kinematography of a City: Moves
into Drawing)
regarded issues of architectural notation and representation, with respect to
the concept of space as a temporal and kinetic condition and the idea of architectural representation as a situated spatial
practice. This involved engaging with installation as a form of 'drawing in space' as well a critical historical study of architectural representation and architecture's negotiations with the visual modalities of modernity. My current research extends this thinking by focusing on the
semiotic and technological challenges posed for architectural drawing in the
context of a digitised, yet cinematic, visual culture.
