About
I am a design educator and researcher.
Currently, I am senior lecturer in interior design and postgraduate student director for the design School. Previously I have taught architecture and interior design in my native Greece and the UK, including at the Technical University of Crete, Athens National Technical University, Central Saint Martins, University for the Creative Arts and University of Brighton.
I hold a Diploma in Architecture from the National Technical University of Athens and a MArch and a PhD by design from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
I pursue my research through an interaction of design and text and at the same time investigate how this interaction produces new forms of developing and presenting research in design. My research deals with the machine as design paradigm in 20th-century domestic architecture. My research interests include: the meaning of the house and home in modern urban environments; the definition of the minimum in mass-produced housing; and the idea of function. My recent work, reflecting my fascination with space travel, explores real and fictional space interiors; utopian domestic architecture of the 1960s and 1970s; and interiors in science fiction film.
I welcome text-based and practice-based PhD research projects in the fields of Architecture and Interior Design.
