台灣設計週 TDW Plug-in｜
化繁為簡 Simplifying Complexities
希臘雙人組Alkiviadis Pyliotis及Evangelos Fokialis自大學時期便共同踏上建築的旅程，並同時錄取哈佛大學設計研究院。兩人完成學業後，曾於美國任教，並共同創立了建築事務所P4 Architecture，致力於探索傳統古典美學在當代的再表現，並在希臘設有多個分部。兩人以接近強迫的理性幾何、構築系統及低彩度的原始材料，回應希臘豐富的歷史脈絡及迷人的地景，本次講座將分享兩人在這次台灣設計週所策劃的作品「化繁為簡 / Simplifying Complexities」以及其在希臘各地所完成、正在進行中的精彩設計。
The Greek duo Alkiviadis Pyliotis and Evangelos Fokialis embarked on their architectural journey together since their university days, concurrently gaining admission to the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Following the completion of their academic pursuits, they have taught in the United States and co-founded the architectural firm P4 Architecture. Committed to exploring the reinterpretation of traditional classical aesthetics in contemporary contexts, they have established multiple branches in Greece. Utilizing a near-compulsive rational geometry, structural systems, and subdued color palettes of raw materials, they respond to Greece's rich historical context and enchanting landscapes. This lecture will present their work titled "Simplifying Complexities," conceived for Taiwan Design Week, along with an exploration of their remarkable designs completed and underway across various locations in Greece.

▍關於P4 Architecture建築事務所
Our practice, P4architecture, is an internationally awarded architecture firm founded in 2014 in Greece,with studios in Athens, Kalamata, and Rhodes. We are a research-driven design studio, uniting architects,engineers, and designers who collectively share a set of core values and principles.
Our design process integrates academic research and the reality of practice, weaving connections that nurture a symbiotic relationship. For us, architecture is a long, ongoing dialogue emphasizing framing the right questions rather than finding immediate answers. In our process, simplicity is our guiding principle as we navigate the increasing complexity of contemporary challenges.
Architecture, for us, serves as a timeless framework rooted in tradition yet open to innovation. It is our medium for self-expression, the embodiment of our values, and our way to impact the built environment. Through Architecture, we evoke history to which we belong and which belongs to us.
