At the age of 15, when she came to Athens, she attended a “practical” school. In 1973 she was admitted to the School of Architecture of the NTUA, from which she graduated in 1978.
… ’. My lecture was on the mapping and analysis of the settlement of Oia in Santorini from the urban scale to its micro-scale. In my dissertation I also dealt with the reuse of the barracks of Argos (Kapodistria) and the utilization of the central square of the city, including the construction of a Cultural Center. My classmate Nikos Georgiadis was a collaborator on both issues.’
She practiced the profession of architect from 1978 to 2013, as a freelancer with a personal architectural firm. She has collaborated repeatedly with other colleagues, either in various forms of collaborative groups, or occasionally by project.
