DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
SUSTAINABILITY
After working in several architectural practices (Tsitsos&Creative Partners, Kouloukouris&Associates, EKTE ATEBE) she is engaged in a wide variety of creative projects of different programs, uses and scales finely tuned in their natural and cultural environments with sustainability being vital and crucial part of the design process. Her deep sensitivity to the environment can be applied to her biological inspired forms that are naturalized perfectly to their environment. The aspect of energy and water conservation couldn’t be missing from her projects not just as a “fashion” prerequisite but as an attitude towards life.

NATURE AS MODEL-MEASURE-MENTOR
During her studies and up to today she deals with biomimetic processes translated in architecture, studying in theoretical and practical level Nature’s models and then emulating these forms, processes, systems, and strategies to solve human problems – sustainably.After 3.8 billion years of evolution, Nature has learned what works and what lasts.

MUSIC-HARMONY

In Plato's Republic it is stated that "Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful." (427-347 B.C.)
