Aghioi Apostoloi Petros & Pavlos (2013)

The church in Stathis village, is honored in the name of Aghioi Apostoloi Petros and Pavlos and was built in the second half of 19th century (probably in 1881). In typology, it is a three-aisled, timber roofed basilica with incorporated open portico and superimposed gallery in the west. The primary objective of the project is to address the structural problems that are tracked down. Second priority is the typological, morphological and aesthetic restoration of the monument in order to be designated the great historical, artistic and archaeological value of the monument. All the interventions that are proposed are consider to be the best choice combining appropriate materials and methods to solve the problems as are identified and they are the result of interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers.

Aghios Georghios at Goumenissa in the prefecture of Kilkis (2008)

The church of Aghios Georghios was erected in 1864 in the center of Goumenissa. In typology, it is a three-aisled, timber roofed basilica with incorporated open porticos and superimposed galleries, a widely disseminated type for the late Ottoman occupation period in Macedonia. The church follows in plan and dimensions, the one of Aghios Minas in Thessaloniki. Aghios Georghios, continuously in use since 1864, undertook several interventions. As a result, the authenticity of the initial architecture typology of the edifice was disfeatured and aesthetically degraded. The proposal of restoration is based on the principle that each intervention should respect and bring out the typological and morphological characteristics of the edifice. Furthermore, emphasis is given to the use of traditional methods and materials for the restoration, while for the integration of the installations (heating, ventilation, etc) will be used technologies based on renewable energy resources (geothermal energy).

Record of Post-Byzantine monuments (2008)

The Paionia municipality in the prefecture of Kilkis, preserves many post-Byzantine churches, which were built in the 18th and especially in the 19th century. In typology, they are a three-aisled, timber roofed basilicas with common characteristics between them the structural method and materials, the morphological elements they use and the formulation of the interior space.

Church of Metamorfosi Sotiras Christos (2008)

The study's main aim is to address the serious structural and construction problems identified for the safe operation of the church. The second priority is the restoration of the typology and the aesthetic enhancement of the edifice and its surrounding area while addressing the contemporary needs of the functioning of the church. All the interventions proposed are the result of interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers.

Palaestra of “Limni” (2004)

Purpose of the study is to document the current situation and make suggestions on preliminary study stage, for reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement of the palaestra. Existing architectural plans maintained by the French Archaeological School, were considered inaccurate and measured drawings were made from the beginning. The observations made in the site were analyzed and compared with the archaeological evidence given by Delorme in Exploration Archeologique de Delos 25, Les Palestres. All proposed interventions are mildly and complied with the principles derived from the map of Venice and aimed in addressing the problems spotted on the monument. In summary these principles are, respect the building construction system of the walls and the architectural landscape of the Limni region, use of compatible materials and forms with the Delian environment. All the interventions proposed will have the character of a temporal, without offend in any way the monument and allow the possibility in the future to return to its present status. The survey was performed using total station, model Leica TC / TCR 407.

Palaestra of “Granitis” (2004)

Purpose of the study is to document the current situation and make suggestions on preliminary study stage, for reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement of the palaestra. Existing architectural plans maintained by the French Archaeological School, were considered inaccurate and measured drawings were made from the beginning. The observations made in the site were analyzed and compared with the archaeological evidence given by Delorme in Exploration Archeologique de Delos 25, Les Palestres.

Hellenistic House III.N (2003)

Delos and Renia, islands with a shared history, is a listed archaeological sites (Zone A) and included in the list of monuments of the World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Delos is the best preserved ancient city in Greece, with the highest density of monuments and findings covering the period from the 8th BC century to the 14th century. The study concerns an Hellenistic house, located in the theater district and on the route from the Agora of Kompetaliastes to the theater. This house combines the typical characteristics of the Delian houses and also presents some peculiarities, which in the absence of findings (traces of coatings, etc.) and data destruction during its excavation requires further investigation. The aim of this study is to document the original plan of the house and the reinforcement of the monument. All interventions will be compatible with the principles derived from the Charter of Venice. The principles can be summarized as follows: Respect the architectural landscape of the theater district, use materials and forms compatible with the Delian environment, conservation of the masonry construction system and maintain of all previous interventions. All the interventions will have the character of the temporal without offend in any way the monument and allow the possibility in the future to return to its present status.
