architektonima, by Maya Christodoulaki, is a creative architectural practice forging a distinctive approach to spatial creation: it is both embedded in the materiality and the making of buildings, as well as, active in research and theory. The space-making methodology is rooted in a profound engagement with mathematical thinking and natural philosophy, and is practiced and applied using architecture, signals and weaving.
