In 2002, culminating a series of freelance associations with architectural firms in a city of pre-Olympic fervor – Athens, Aristotelis Dimitrakopoulos, an educator, writer and architect formally schooled in Athens and New Haven – yet a persona actually negating all such titles or incidents – founded Aristotheke Eutectonics© a design initiative prioritizing experimentation at the urban and building scales in parallel to normative architectural practice. Aristotelis built this pursuit upon his strong design experience with key Manhattan firms in major projects of international scope and has led since a series of multidisciplinary design teams participating in more than eighteen urban design competitions with notable distinctions – even if, expectedly, the most provocative proposals go typically unrecognized by juries and committees. Aristotheke has developed more than thirty _thecae experimental architectural projects of single-building scale and this agenda remains currently a priority of the team. The office has worked on commissions of residential, commercial and urban scope, or even further, on diverse programmatic challenges such as logistics, single-family houses, bridges, administrative and educational facilities, adaptive re-use of landmarked structures, renovations and retail spaces. The practice, with its premises currently located at the foot of Lycabettus hill – following a series of international relocation ventures – has inevitably shifted a significant segment of its attention to the incredible intellectual heritage of Hellenism and strives therefore to unfold tectonics as a series of drafts for an autobiography of the future.
