My new publication, "Urban Activated Public Spaces in the Contemporary City", appeared as Chapter 15 in the collective volume Federico Bellentani, Mario Panico, and Lia Yoka (eds.), Semiotic Approaches to Urban Space. Signs and Cities, Edward Elgar Publishing, Cheltenham, Massachusetts, 2024 Summary What kinds of spaces and places are needed today, in light of the radical social changes and new ecological problems that have emerged in contemporary cities? Can we design contemporary “activated” urban public spaces for youth, and what could be their symbolic and material characteristics? The aim of the present chapter is to investigate the possible philosophical, conceptual, semiotic, and architectural dimensions, approaches, and readings of the above spatial questions, based on the theoretical work and ideas of Emeritus Professor Kyriaki Tsoukala.

That book I really like (unlike the one on radical museology). Four essays on the contemporary art trends and practice - research based installation, performance exhibitions, interventions and invocation of modernist architecture. How do we look and perceive art today through the screens and permanent information noise? What has come instead of attentive and slow looking? What is the problem of contemporary spectatorship?

Excited to share the publication of our recent essay in the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) 77.2 titled 'Tactical Landscapes: Abstractions and Power Practices.' In collaboration with Saphiya, Aseel, and Asaiel, we delve into the desert as a dynamic canvas, simultaneously a product and producer of cultural, social, and political complexities. Our exploration uncovers the impact of tribal, colonial, and global conflicts on state planning, shaping a distinctive geospatial division between urban and desert life.

Brief description of the project: The relationship of architecture and philosophy is complex, and understanding of this relationship depends understanding the true philosophy. Greek philosophers search for something that be the base of everything, and in the pursuit of what which is the basis for everything search for the definition of world as a regular AAA whole . Accordingly, in the implementation of this order, we see that the appropriateness of governing the dimensions of the Greek temples intervals between the columns or connection between different parts of the facade with the ratios governing therefore has a logical match and other productions of Culture in the Greek civilization, like music has also logical connection with architecture and metaphysics, and contemplating on this connection shows that how much metaphysical or Greek thinking is architectural and logical thinking and how much is affected by space architects.

V&A's exhibition examines the colonial origins of "Tropical Modernism" in British West Africa, and the survival of the style in the post-colonial period when it symbolized the independence and progressiveness of newly independent countries like Ghana and India. Exhibition curators sought to contextualize the history of Tropical Modernism by also looking at the architecture against the regional anti-colonial struggle of the time. This film clip traces the style's colonialist beginnings to its adoption by Kwame Nkrumah, the first Prime Minister of newly-independent Ghana, to become a symbol of freedom, modernity and progressiveness. The full 30-minute film is on view at "Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence" at the V&A in London through September 2024.
