Opening of “Anemoi”, an exhibition hosted by Stegi VITSENTZOS KORNAROS, presenting the theses of the ΜΑ Environmental Architecture students of the Royal College of Art, London.

Having been inspired by the notion of wind, the MA students of Environmental Architecture at the Royal College of Art in London carried out an extensive research within the wider area of Sitia, in collaboration with local communities. Their research, which began in 2022, yielded the building blocks upon which their projects were based. Essentially, the students propose alternative ways of thinking and designing buildings and environments as volumetric, evolving climate ecologies, thus supporting the transition to renewable energy and the prevalence of social justice in collective political action. The opening of the exhibition will take place on 12 December 2024 at 7 pm, at the premises of Stegi VITSENTZOS KORNAROS (97, V. Kornarou St., Sitia).

Tutors: Christina Geros (Head of Department), Antonio del Giudice (Studio Assistant), Froso Papadimitriou (Visiting Lecturer).
