Selected by the Hellenic Institute of Architecture and the Deutsches Architektur Museum among the 130 most important buildings of the 20th century in Greece and included in the exhibition and Catalogue “20th Century Architecture: Greece”, 1999 and also for the exhibition On: the Modern and the Contemporary  in European and Japanese Culture, Tokyo, 2006

This is the result of the transformation of the metallic structure of an old warehouse into a flexible university building. Although, especially due to some elements of the exterior and interior façades, it has been characterized by some critics as a rather post-modernist approach, the result was much more a matter of spatial organization – that is the creation of a new building into the old – rather than a matter of façades’ decoration. The building is currently housing the new School of Architecture of the University of Thessaly.
