I'm an architect, consultant and researcher who work combining two issues: green architecture and CAAD. Throughout the years, I have looked for and found the strong connection between the continuously increasing abilities of the computer and its contribution to the development of other areas, in general, and in field of sustainable architecture design, in particular. I view the important impact that sustainable architecture has on keeping a better world to live in. In my opinion, action should be taken in two fronts, in order to advance this important issue. On the one hand, to inform the designers and the authorities, encouraging a serious approach towards this issue, with regards to projects they are planning or confirming, while designing simple, yet efficient, design tools which are energy-conscious-oriented, and on the other hand, to educate the students, the architects of the future, to approach the design process with a high degree of awareness to the environmental issues, and by doing this, achieving a sustainable architecture that will better represent the values and ambitions of the society and the state. Therefore, and in order to reach these two communities (practitioners and students), I have performed, over the years, basic research, during which models, algorithms, and computer programs have been created, at the urban and building level (refer to the following diagram). This basic research, whose product is computerized models, is implemented in three ways: 1. Applicative research: during which issues and problems that require the development of simple design tools, or designing guidelines, are identified and researched in accordance with prevailing environmental conditions. These issues are ordered and funded by governmental offices. 2. Professional consultation: The professional consultation that I provide is mainly designed to inform the practitioners regarding the most updated knowledge in energy conscious design, on the one-hand, while on the other hand, to gain access to the field-based perspective, which will enable me to understand in which directions new/additional research should be developed, that will be better tuned to the market's needs. 3. Teaching: The knowledge developed in the different researches, including design tools, is included within the curriculum that is delivered in the different courses I teach, such as "Climate, Energy and Architecture", or the architectural design studio. In this manner, the students are exposed to the forefront of the knowledge on this issue. |
