PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN ARCHITECTURE: |
1996 - |
Private Professional practice for Architectural Studies and Supervisions, focused in quality innovative design, with projects all over the Greek territory including multiple projects in the greater Athens area, as well as projects in the Greek countryside. Designs were all prototypical, and one of a kind in style and detailing, aiming primarily in originality and internal consistency. The Architectural, Landscape or Interior Studies of either commercial office space or private residences (single attached, or blocks of flats) were all fundamentally different in design concept and style/detailing, the original scheme each time most appropriately meeting the specific requirements and constraints of the individual project. The professional practice was initially based at Voukourestiou 25, Athens 106-71 in central Athens and then in October 2010, it was relocated in privately owned premises at 10, Neophytou Douka Street in the same area (Kolonaki), in a setting that previously housed the practice of late father and collaborating architect A.S.Calligas since the early 70’s. Design activity also included specialized restoration of several listed buildings, of significant proportion as well as very specialized services both of a structural and organizational nature, but also of legal specialty regarding the multiple additional involved authorities issuing permits and consenting to the proposed works for such projects, most notably the various departments and competent authorities of the ministry of Culture. |
1988 - 2005 |
Professional Architectural Practice in Greece at times materialized through the following companies, registered in Athens Greece: 1988 - 1991 ‘Synthesis Architectural Design Ltd’, Founding Partner. 1989 - 2001 ‘Synthesis Architecture Ltd’, Founding partner. 1997 - 2005 ‘A. S. Calligas & Company O.E.’ Founding member and Partner, a company that maintained a Professional Confirmation of Ability Degree E Class (top-most level of Experience for a Company), from the Registry of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks, for Architectural Studies for the Public Sector for both Categories, 6 (New Buildings) and 7 (Special Architectural Studies). - Also since 1997, corresponding Personal Confirmation Degree C (highest for individual) for Category 6 (New Buildings) as well as B for Category 7 (Special Architectural Studies) -Design priorities and philosophy was not altered based on the legal vehicle by which the projects were officially undertaken. A hands-on approach from the designer of the project from the general layout down to the most minute detail was always characteristic, however full supervision was not possible in public projects as well as in some isolated instances in private projects too. |
1988 - 1996 |
Part time (especially until 1991) and later more consistent private practice with intervals, pursued in Greece, involving recreational and permanent residences, office-buildings, interior projects and furniture design. In parallel scholarly work in Greece and the U.S.A. executed in private in order to pursue variable academic research interests and artistic pursuits at the time. |
