MASTER THESIS RESEARCH>>>

”The deep transformations of capitalism, the dying neo-liberalism and their implications on the built environment.   New types of economy in relation to geopolitics and new technologies. “

_THEORETICAL PART :

Exploring the new emerging society by the means of The New Economy morphing from the collapsing one AND how those changes affect the way our cities are shaping. The hypothesis is that the use of financial capital as we know it today is altering from its roots, and what we should expect in the near future is new taxation systems and new types of governing.

The survey aims to reveal the possibilities and modalities for reshaping and redefining the programme and functionality of the derelict and unused buildings that undergo physical, environmental and social degradation. This possibilities i count on come from the changing economy performances we face today.

Paul Mason would argue that we are on a brink of a change so big and so profound that capitalism is altering into something wholly new more fairer and just - New Economy. Changes and already felt and are inevitably altering our world view, and automation is tracing the way. The Kondratiev wave should end in 2040. Where is the next cycle taking us or is it leading to the diminishing of the cycles all together? I took the stand point and elaborate on the Marx’s article “Fragment of the machines” on post-scarcity ,a society where the knowledge locked inside of the machines is “social” and all goods are nearly free.

Implementing the new programs in old facilities>>>>>

1.Re-Imagining the future of work > ’In The Cathedral’

2.Re-Imagining the future of work > ’In The Factory’

3.Re-Imagining the future of work > ’In The Open’

Furthermore there are some bad points in the smart cities that can be overcome if we add the concept of the Equity which led us to the SenseAble city of equality and inclusion of all parts and all citizens and here is my initial drawing of my thoughts on the concept =)

PROJECT_Braddock Recycle Park

Super happy to be the project coordinator on this beautiful idea executed by Al Borde Arqutectos,

It is in a phase of construction now, and you can follow the development of the park here>>>http://www.albordearq.com/braddock-recycle-park/

SOCIAL ENERGY AS DESIGN, BUILD AND ECONOMIC STRATEGY

The project don't seek to start from scratch and pretends to change the world, it seeks to recognize the background of the community, gets involved in an ongoing process, inject adrenaline, empower people and make it happen. The whole process has been worked by open workshops and aims to promote social inclusion in all stages -community, students, professional, volunteers, institutions, etc- where all the opinions are heard and all the skills are taken into consideration. The final proposal improves the collective scope by publicizing the work of the organized community and generates new links between them and the society. In the end, the final goal as a foreign architects is to become unnecessary and let the project flows with each people in charge with a clear strategy to follow.

COMPETITION_STUDENT HOUSING PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF SKOPJE

The design concept for the dormitory started with the examination of its nucleus> The Student Room. The room design is an attempt to introduce an alternative approach to student dormitory life where the quality of space stems from the big volume. Besides the small area (18.5 m2), the cell has a double height  of 4 m. The bed is not only seen as a sleeping place, but as a complex private space: space for work, eating, reading, writing, imagination, socialization. The rood is a micro-world of its own where all furniture and services are embedded and optimized in every sense. The constructive system - the whole structure of the dormitory itself comes form the module of the nucleus.

ACADEMIA _Taller Al Borde @ Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica in Ambato Ecuador

I had an amazing opportunity to work together with Al Borde Arquitectos from Ecuador last year. This works here are the outcome from a semestral course in practical design held by Al Borde where i was assisting the professor. His approach towards teaching architecture has made a huge impact on how i wish to continue with my practice.

PROJECT_DELUXE Residential Building

“Deluxe” represents an object with unique and distinctive design that lies in a beautiful location in the city of Kumanovo. The north-eastern facade is facing the river providing its users with a vivid view on the surrounding natural environment. The ground floor is planned as a commercial space whiles the rest of the floors as housing spaces. There are 34 residential units that offer maximum comfort and functionality and the build-in materials are with highest quality. The plans of the units vary depending on the needs of the various group of users.

This building is the first fully gasified object in the country.

PROJECT_German Pavilion on Habitat III Conference in Quito

THE PAVILION AND ITS SECOND LIFE

The earthquake that shook Ecuador on April 16th was the strongest the country has felt since 1979.

We face the project by designing the space for the best use of the German Pavilion but that at the same time works as "storage for materials". After the end of the 6 day exhibition these materials will be used to build the first four prototypes of the houses we have designed for the Post-Earthquake relief.

COMPETITION_VLORA WATERFRONT PROMENADE

Competition entry for 5km long beach promenade in Vlora, Albania.

We were supposed to design something to jump-start a process that aspires the transformation of an entire waterfront pedestrian experience. The objective of the proposal is to pilot an instrument of urban intervention that will serve as a model in other coastal cities in the region. We proposed a membrane-like strip of activities as means to prevent the city's uncontrolled “spillage” on the beach and as well as means to aggregate social activities and small economies.

My favorite DOGMA won the competition. See it here>>>>http://www.ilparcocentralediprato.it/en/dogma-with-elia-zenghelis-and-milan-ingegneria-zeus-project-for-vlora-waterfront-promenade-vlora-albania-2014-3/

PROJECT_NAUTILUS with TEN Architects

Born from conversations with locals, production teams, workers, manufacturers, students and photographers, Nautilus is an event space to re-animate a neglected part of Skopje.

Love this one. I have taken part in both the phases, the workshop held in 2014 and the actual realization of the project in 2015. Me and my friend organized the opening event with artists form around Europe, it lasted 3 days and with big success. But this public stage that was supposed to be used by our youth for free is now highly neglected and homeless people seems to be sheltering there :)
