Tasos Varoudis is an architect, computer scientist and creative designer/technologist. He studied his Diploma (MSc) in Architectural Engineering in National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and his Computing Engineering DIC and MSc at the Imperial College London. Currently, he is a funded researcher in the fields of adaptive architectural space, spatial analysis, space-computer-human interaction and ambient technology. In 2007 he founded ‘arch+ech’ studio to house his passion for architectural design and technology. He started his architectural work in an early age and collaborated in several commercial and non-commercial projects and competitions.
His work is mainly based on the integration of new technologies into architectural design. Key points in this pursuit is the conceptual design of a 'Digital sound museum' for his MSc dissertation project at the NTUA and his 'Augmented reality in architecture' project at the Imperial College London.
In sum, his projects and research is driven by 'code, form and space' in order to create experiences that playfully challenge our perception of spaces, vision and objects. By creating senses of space that transcend the immediate physical environment of the viewer, he researches how the elements of architecture, spatial design and ambient technology can shape the interrelation between perception and movement in architectural spaces. Combining traditional design methods and aesthetics with programmatic design, generative systems, computer vision, natural human-computer interaction and ambient technology, he seeks to blur the boundaries between physical and virtual space.
