I am a registered architect (University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece). I obtained the interdisciplinary MSc ‘Design, Space, Culture’ at the National Technical University of Athens and hold a PhD in Architecture from the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (E.S.A.L.A).  

I have also taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the National Technical University of Athens and the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

My work focuses on the conditions of embodied experience of the architecture and natural landscape with special emphasis on the role of atmosphere. The main focus of my doctoral and postdoctoral work (between UK and Canada) was the embodied topography of Mount Athos and the role of silence/sound in different environments: sacred landscapes, contemporary cities, institutional complexes as well as in architectural representation, design and education. 

I am currently working on the project 'Faith on the Move: Relocating and Dislocating Religious Communities' that explores issues of identity, belonging, equality and diversity, in religious place-making in and outside of the UK.

Cultural approaches to sustainability, landscape safeguarding, materiality and tectonics also greatly inform my research.

My research and teaching acknowledges the significance of the dynamic combination of history, theory and design. 

I am currently the Co-Director of Architecture Research Collaborative [ARC] research group.
