Research is integral part of the firm’s meth- odology incorporating information from other engineering disciplines for the integration of innovative construction techniques and struc- tural parameters in architectural design. The firm has received many awards in European architectural competitions, like in the two competitions for the Agion Anargiron and T. Papadopoulos Footbridge in Pafos (1st, 2nd&4th awards), and the competi- tion for the Municipal Market & Parking in Larnaca (4th award).
