Research

Phenomena and processes of urban transformation of contemporary Landscapes and territories : The study of the ways with which man has used the natural landscape and at the same time how the natural landscape configured its cultural structure. The notion of formation (διάπλασις) involves describing all the physical and cultural landscapes (τόποι) to determine the connection between culture and the landscape.
“Formations in the Landscape". The evolution of the urban space from a territorially integrated entity to a concept/notion of a broader geographic periphery, which is spatially dispersed beyond traditional models of planning and design concerning primary urban centers leads to a different reading of urban geography. The recognition of this "landscape", which constitutes by now a new reality, must project alternative designs and strategies of spatial organization that will give priority to the city/polis itself that constitutes the ultimate frame of reference and foundation for any architectural meaning.
