SIZE MATTERS: Architectural Stories for Growth from USA and Greece

Archisearch and the production company Design Ambassadorย are organizing the SIZE MATTERS: Architectural Stories for Growth Project from USA and Greece under the aegis and co-organization of the Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce. The event, which will be held at the US Pavilion at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition on September 8, will focus on the importance and role of the scale of architectural works. Big Sponsor is IDEAL STANDARD.

โ€œ(Sustainable) Developmentโ€ is key and the goal of all political leaders in every country. Most of the times, size matters since the biggest the goal and ambition, the most promising the campaign. But is โ€œbigโ€ also โ€œbeautifulโ€, or the other way around? And when it comes to fine-tuning and detailing a vision, who is responsible for the feasible realization of a dream?

Greek Architects and Academics will come to present examples of big scale architectural projects, through their experience and insight.

Simultaneously, Greek architects involved in the largest, current projects in Greece will present the reality and the potentials from our Country, the way such ย large-scale interventions can affect the city in a cultural and economic aspect but also will pinpoint the challenges of the architectural process.

The conversation of what is currently happening in both countries and how the philosophy and approach of each country could contribute (or not) to the other.

Is Bigness ultimate architecture? Rethinking Bigness: Large Questions and Architectural Smallness.

Discussion Panel

19:00-19:10ย  ย Introduction Remarks by the Curator & Moderator Architectย Laertis Vassiliouย ย [LAAV Architects]ย about the subject

19:10-20:00ย  ย Discussion with moderation by the Curatorย Laertis Vassiliouย ย [LAAV Architects]ย for ARCHISEARCH.gr with

Giorgos Mitrouliasย [AREA – Architecture Research Athens]

Eleanna Makridouย [Makridis Associates Architects]

Andreas Ventourakisย [BETAPLAN Architects]

The panel will zoom-in from the large urban/public realm development scale to the building scale and detailing and see that architecture offers solutions in all scales. Big has been proven to be good only for marketing purposes and election campaigns, problems need to be solved on a different scale and manner.

Presenting the sequel โ€œMake Details Great Againโ€ where from the stance of Architecture, the panel will suggest a different approach to solve current problems and achieve greatness.
