Ctrl_Space Lab

Ctrl_Space Lab is an architecture and design collaborative platform founded in Athens in 2012 by Nikolas Patsavos and Yiannis Zavoleas. It aims at bringing together young architects and designers in order to promote a new research based agenda for architecture and culture. Its field expands from architectural competitions proposals to real-life projects, workshops, publications and events. The structure of space, in other words the relations forming space and its perception, is being explored based on a hybrid of analogue and digital tools. Ctrl_Space Lab aims at acting as a cluster targetting the current challenges facing the architectural discourse and at developing sustainable alternatives. Ctrl_Space Lab managing partner is Nikolas Patsavos. The platform's members already include a wide array of young architects and designers in a project-based logic. The platform contains five semi-independent cross-sectoral research & development units with the following coordinators: Strategic Design & Consulting: Nikolas Patsavos Innovation & Digital Media: Yiannis Zavoleas, Alexandros Peteinarelis Ekistics & Collective Space: Vassilis Tsesmetzis, Vangelis Bekiarides Museology & Exhibition Design: Maria Nikolakaki
