The project subject was to design a port terminal for the existing harbor in the city of Larnaca with a pro-gram mixing the uses of terminal, hotel, housing, commercial and business. Our goal was to create a land-mark seen both from the city and from the cruise ships approaching the area. We also wanted to con-centrate the uses more close to the city, leaving the harbor area as a monumental public space where the intensity of the consetrated use would be channeled. The result was six high rise buildings which host-ed the uses of hotel, offices and short-term housing. The six buildings where connected with the terminal building five floors above the ground level and fifteen floors above with a shared mixed-use space.

STUDIO_06[construction_group of 3]

The subject of this studio was to design a research centre able to answer to the needs of Cy-prus, East Mediterranean and Middle East. The site that was given was the area of the former airport in Larnaca and the area of the Salt Lakes . We created an urban platform 700m long that passed above the Salt Lake and connected the historical area of the lakes with the old air-port. The structure of the building constisted of six frames which are supported by two V-shaped braces each. The frames are connected with I beams. The walls are made of aluminium pan-els, some of which are converted to windows. On the platform there is a big public space which can be reached by everyone and there is a bridge inside where are the pods for the researchers.

STEEL CONSTRUCTION[group of 5]

The requested was to design a small research centre in Nicosia using steel as the primary ma-terial for this contruction. We proposed a bridge structure which was held up using steel col-umns and cables. The research areas were in small pods pluged in the bridge made out of poly-mer. The structure was solved statically and designed to the point of architectural details.

In this project we experimented with the idea of designing a home that each person on earth would own. Living in the years of transportation and lack of urban space, a house that meets the needs of each individual taking the minimum space and the possibility fot the owner to take it along with him to each place he resides around the globe. Because every person will have one, when that person forms a relationship that requests cohabita-tion, for example a marriage or a family, the houses of those people would merge and create a bigger to meet their needs. This structure can be put almost everywhere, from roofs to the empty space between two buildings.

In this project we had to design a building to house the Student Welfare office of Universi-ty of Cyprus in the area of the new campus. We proposed a bridge structure that connects the main area of the campus to the new building of the student dormitories and under the build-ing passes the main street to the university campus. The building has concrete slabs and col-umns, is open to the East ans West and the walls at North and South are made of plaster-board. Inside the building there are closed wooden rooms to meet the need of the offices. The rest of the building is open to the public and hosts temporary uses such as exhibition area.
