In this diploma thesis, a narrative is employed as a process which negotiates with impressions and perceptions and attempts to unravel their web of interactions (image 1). In this way, it intends to envision architecture as a field, an object and an atmosphere through scenario events that can be experienced either spaced apart or overlapped.
The main characters in this narrative crave to enter such a different reality, which is not visible to them, yet lies inside their eyes, buried and repressed. The image of their desired place epitomizes the paradox of their architectural experiences on earth, ranging from materiality to microstructure (image 2). The outcome is a complex, multidimensional setting, a hybrid between landscape and diagram, a chronographic model that combines surface and relief (image 3).
Within this framework, a transition to such a chronographic model is attempted, through the establishment and analysis of the stages of intermediation that are acknowledged. At every stage the impact of memory, light and space-time are examined in a perceptual procedure, through which the world reveals itself.
The chronographic analysis of a mapped light path, which is applied upon various surfaces and materials during modelization (images 4,5,6), splits the current time to snapshots. Thus, the new field gets the opportunity to negotiate with the “aspect of the moment”, to amplify it through the dimensions of space and incidents. That means to provide a spatial and temporal condition capable of accommodating a new recollection (images 7,8).
The light imprint of every image is codified and inserted into an algorithmic process, which simulates and reproduces concurrently multiple images of remembrance (image 9). The main purpose is, after a process of decoding, the emergence of an augmented territory that oscillates between the starting point of the users’ desires and the intimate space of their memories.
At every aspect of the moment, the incidents are revealed fragmentarily; in terms of the stages of intermediation that they have gone through and their interaction with other ongoing incidents (image 10).
Within this continuous feedback loop, where users, processes and parallel realities are involved, it is no longer clear whether the environment is producing an image of memory, or the memory is producing an image of the environment.


CV
Christina Liakati was born in Trikala in 1988. She studied architecture in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 2006 to 2012, from where she graduated with honors. In 2010 she received the scholarship of LLP Erasmus exchange students program and studied for one semester in Architectural School in Turin, Italy (Politecnico di Torino). In 2011 he participated with the architectural firm Archigraph Architects in workshop "ECOWEEK 2011: Urban Communities & Green Architecture". Since February 2013 attends the postgraduate program at the University of Central Lancashire in Great Britain concerning modern practice interior architecture (MA Interior Design).

Nechalioti Anastasia was born in 1988 in Munich, Germany. She studied Architecture in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, from 2006 to 2012 from where she graduated with honors. The summer semester of 2010 she attended the School of Architecture of Berlin, where her research thesis titled Two deserted Islands, participated in the journal San Rocco 01 / Islands in February 2011. She acquired some brief working experience in November and December 2012 as a member of the architecture team XCOOP in Rotterdam, where she worked on projects on architectural and urban design. Since March 2013 works in Zurich in the architectural firm KEN Architekten focused on urban and residential.

Piniara Ioanna was born in Trikala in 1989. She studied Architecture in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, from where she graduated with honors in 2012. In 2012 she received the scholarship of LLP Erasmus exchange students program and she studied for one semester in the School of Architecture of the Technical University in Berlin. Participated in the architectural exhibition THESSALONIKI 100 + ARCHITECTURE + CITY / Modernization + ADJUSTMENTS presented in December 2012 in Thessaloniki Concert Hall as well as the exhibition of the workshop of advanced design DIGITAL ARCHITECTURAL SWEETS FINAL REVIEW & EXHIBITION hosted at the Benaki Museum in Athens until January 2013.
