The Playfulness of the Real at Chicago Architecture Biennale

01/16

Point Supreme present couples of the most extreme opposite parts of their work:

Ledeberg Parking

Richness in form, material and detail give the multi storey car park the status of an important public building in the city. The resulting sequence of spaces provide a sense of orientation for the drivers.

Serpantina 1st Prize

The aim of the Urban Shade competition, following a year-long research project on this topic, was to conceptualize, plan, and build prototypes of duplicable shading elements for an outdoor public space.

Hotel Kimolos

Rooms to let on Kimolos island.

Tag Mosaic

The project mixes byzantine with contemporary street art. 

Οnly in Athens

Kotzia Square

Proposal to turn Athens City Hall square into a park, fully covered with grass lawn and a field of irrigation sprinklers that cool off the heat.

Holargos Apartment

Apartment renovation in Athens.

Mosaic Apartment

Reorganization of an apartment in the center of Athens.

Future Library

The future library room is organized around two elements; a high table and a tribune.

Sun Square

The new square in Rjukan is perceived as a big ‘building’ with various rooms along its periphery and a big atrium in the center.

Dworp Educational Centre

The brief asked for a masterplan and future-use scenario for an educational campus. The site was divided in 3 zones; forest, field and strip. 

100 Squares

The remains of empty space in contemporary Greek Cities provide a unique opportunity to solve the lack of hierarchy, identity and form of the city mass;>

Sint-Godelieve Institute

The extension of a fashion and art school in Antwerp is a square building surrounding a courtyard.

Social Housing Wulpen

The plan is loosely based on a farm typology; a configuration of elongated volumes together with the neighboring school and church.

Faliro Pier 1st Prize

The size and quality of the Athens coastline in combination with the city's warm climate, constitute a higly valuable condition that is largely unexploited;

Giorgia Apartment

Pinocchio

The visually dominant local landmark of a High Silo is complemented by a sculptural volumetric extension

Epicenters - Shortlisted

In order to make Islev area attractive for people to live, work, and socialize it is proposed that the district’s current center is extended

The Architects Brain

‘In pre-modern epochs, renewal of practice was always initiated by looking backwards, as a return to the fundamentals.

100 Views of Acropolis

07/11

In 1834 Hokusai illustrated Mountain Fuji from every angle and context, capturing the gift of immortality that lay hidden within it.

City of Tables

Gösta Museum Extension

The new building is a bridge that connects the existing museum with the island of Taavetinsaari. Upon arrival it presents itself merely by its roof.

Mina House

From a distance Mina House appears like an ordinary building, resting under a pitched roof with the typical red tiles of the area.

Kozani Square

The new main square in Kozani serves both the everyday and the monumental; the central part takes the form of a gently sunken ellipse.

Dafnes house

The house is in front of the beach close to a Greek city. The first volume frames the plot, while the second crosses it continuing the built volume of the neighboring construction.

Europan 10 Trondheim phase II

Phase II of the concept design has just been completed and preparations for the next phases have already started for the second Europan project to be realised in Trondheim.

AthensX4 - Honourable Mention 

The contemporary Greek city is made up of some of the smallest urban blocks in Europe, with an accompanying dense network of small streets and incredibly narrow pavements.

Archipelago Cities

The geography of the Greek archipelago seems to reappear in the urban setting of Athens; the city is a translation of the archipelago landscape of the Cyclades.

Science Center

Athens By Hills

Athens by Hills highlights the full range of unexploited mountains, hills and natural remains that float in the city fabric and around the Acropolis. 

Kostas R. House

The vacation house outside Athens is placed on a linear plot, framed on two sides by shifted neighboring houses that are to be built. The masterplan dictates the principle of the design

Hotel Vitina

The hotel in Vitina combines communal facilities and rooms-for-rent in one volumetric configuration; the linear building assumes both the small and the big scale.

Marble Mural

The piece is a hymn to marble; a 10 x 2m wall consisting of 7 marble pieces of different origin, natural history, color, texture and image.  

Hortus Conclusus - Honourable Mention

The new Theater Square is dedicated to the magic of nature: an urban room realized as a ‘secret garden’. The tall palm trees create a landmark on at the scale of the city, while at street level the garden becomes a place for the imagination with local plants and flowers creating open and closed spaces of light and shadow.

Six d.o.g.s garden

The intervention in the garden of the six d.o.g.s. cultural centre in Athens, returns the site to its natural state.

Piraeus Tower

Rather than an autonomous, self referential edifice, what today is called ‘Iconic Building’, the new Pireaus Tower capitalises on its strategic positioning.

Koukaki Apartment

Half Real

The proposal reconstructs, from blue foam, the gallery space of Six DOGS at half its size.

Square Pool

Athens has lost its relation to green, water and nature in general. In Ancient times springs and rivers were sacred and Athenians considered water to be a supreme good, an inextricable part of daily routine.

New Maribor Museum

Trondheim

The Masterplan suggests a series of carefully placed interventions that act as appendages to the former submarine bunker Dora 1:

Vienna

The project accumulates the collective intelligence on housing, fusing it together into an implausibly rich whole.

Kalavrita House 1

The structure of the house was recently built in a small village in the mountains. The heavy wooden roof construction displeased the clients who asked for its camouflaging.

Architecture Foundation Cordoba

Kiafas house

The house is sited at the entrance to a village, surrounded by fields. Starting with the generic rectangular box of a suburban home the corners are carved away bringing light, ventilation and views into the centre of the house. 

Polikatikia 1

On a triangular corner plot in a leafy area of Athens the client requested a study for a building of 4 apartments, one apartment per floor.  Like four little villas on top of each other, two apartments were to be occupied the other two for sale.

Metaxourgio

The strategy is to focus on the two most critical levels of the city; the ground floor plane and the roof top level, to effect the injection of new architectural form to the area.

Kalavrita café

Kalavrita is a picturesque mountain town surrounded by natural beauty. The project uses a deliberately limited palette of materials that collectively reflect the natural setting.

Travel Agency

A chaos of paper, brochures and accumulated mess, the existing travel agency in the seaside city of Patras lacked any sense of excitement or joy.  Inspired by the maritime history of the city and the sense of travel and adventure that boats evoke, the project inserts a ‘mariner’ into the space. 

Closet

The maximum conceivable volume of storage was inserted into an attic, from which utilitarian spaces were excavated.  The result is a sculptural construction of varying spatial qualities in sharp contrast to the rest of the rectilinear space.

Heaven

There is only 2.7 m2 of green space attributed to each resident of Athens making it the most deprived of all European Capitals. In the most densely built central areas the percentage drops to a mere 0.4 m2 per person.

Benetton

Exarcheian Walls

 

 

In December 2008, the shooting of a 15-year-old student in Exarcheia caused extensive rioting in the area. While the riots were still taking place for days, life in the surrounding city continued intact as if on either side of an invisible wall.

Golden Cube

The Golden Cube avoids all comparisons; its absolute form effortlessly conquers any dimension and guarantees its unique timelessness. The structure looks like it has always been there.

Kaminia Garden

The existing garden is rich in spatial qualities. The proposal enhances the existing conditions so that they acquire a clear, distinguishable identity.

café  ‘-ismo’

The cubic volume of the café is divided by two walls that frame the public areas.  Point Supreme’s intervention was to design installations on these perpendicular walls: a giant eye and mouth that combined appear as a cubist face in the space.

Aktipis Flower Shop

Unbuilt-Legitimization 1

The contemporary Greek city, lacking any overall planning or vision, expands in all directions.  It is materialised through the endless repetition of polikatikias (apartment building); in essence the realization of the domino house.

Pizza Perez

The graphics complement the simplicity of the space. They express and celebrate the variety and richness of taste in the food served. All the ingredients used are mapped and allocated colours and codes – these are translated into a scientific looking matrix that covers the wall of the seating area. It offers an abstract overview of all the possibilities of choice.

Mintilogli house

This old house in a Greek village is listed; no windows or alterations can take place on its exterior. The proposal striped the interior of all constructions turning the house from two separate floors into a deep 4-floors-high void space where rooms and mezzanines are floating.
