Ctrl_Space Lab: Αυγούστου 2026

Ctrl_Space Mission

Ctrl_Space Lab is an architecture and design collaborative platform founded in Athens in 2012 by Nikolas Patsavos and Yiannis Zavoleas. It aims at bringing together young architects and designers in order to promote a new research based agenda for architecture and culture. Its field expands from architectural competitions proposals to real-life projects, workshops, publications and events. The structure of space, in other words the relations forming space and its perception, is being explored based on a hybrid of analogue and digital tools.

Ctrl_Space Lab aims at acting as a cluster targetting the current challenges facing the architectural discourse and at developing sustainable alternatives.

Ctrl_Space Lab holds a wide collection of architecture, design, art, philosophy and social sciences library which is accessible to other researchers upon request. Our architectural magazines archive is donated by Elias Konstantopoulos.
