Mary Giannaka and Nikos Sokorelis from Greece
We completed our studies in 2020 at the Neapolis University Pafos in Cyprus. After our studies, we worked in an architecture office in Cyprus and participated in architecture competitions.
We have participated in architecture competitions since the last years of our studies. We deal with larger and smaller scales of buildings, and we are quite concerned about the issue of habitation. Still, we pay particular attention to how the use of a space can evolve and improve. Some of the projects we have worked on include the design of tiny apartments in apartment buildings, social housing, and dorms.
The role of the architect is to design 'vessels ' of life for people. We need to create buildings that stir emotions and provide a quality of life.
To push ourselves to our limits, to experiment as well as to develop our imagination in concepts with different needs, which we may not have a chance to encounter in our professional career.
Architecture competitions are an opportunity – an occasion to reflect, to learn, and to propose our own perspective on Architecture.
