ABOUT

I AM is a creative platform that imagines, explores and challenges different spatial narratives in the tangible and the intangible world of Architecture, Music and Art.

Blurring the lines of imagination and reality through different mediums, from a building, a space, an installation, a sculpture, an object, to a musical experience, or a video.

 

TANGIBLE & INTANGIBLE WORLD

Our experience of the world is muli-sensory, our senses coming together and integrating through our constant exposes to the Tangible and the Intangible world we live in. The Tangible world of materiality of the building environment and nature, to the Intangible world, of light, darkness, sound, smell, movement, time, emotions, relationships, words, memories, and the intangible past, and future. So in a way both worlds become part of us allowing us to be what we need to be in the present. Our interaction with those co-existing and harmonious worlds shapes who we are, how we live and how we feel during our walk in this linear path of Time.

Βoth worlds are depended on the human existence  because everything experienced is described through a lens of being a human..and vice versa – the human is depended on those worlds. i.e we are designing something and subconsciously we think how we are going to use it. Οur pattern making machine, our brain, that likes to make sense of things, response to the tangible or intangible patterns and through our visceral biological responses, emotions are generated – and that determines if we are going to decide I am going to approach something or avoid it, if I like it or not.

That’s why those worlds could only make sense if the human being is in the center. I AM < I EXIST

MARIDIA KAFETZOPOULOU

Maridia’s passion and curiosity has fuelled her desire attempts to meld the quantifiable spheres of building and architecture with the ethereal realms of music and art. Her studies at London’s Architectural Association School of Architecture, provided a solid foundation and Strengthened her resolve to synthesize the competing dynamics of these two worlds.

Simultaneously with her architectural studies, Maridia received a degree in piano and music theory, in Athens. She also joined the musical theatre wing of the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, focusing on voice, movement and acting. In 2022 Maridia began professional voice training.

Her love of Architecture, music and performance has compelled her to create I AM, a uniquely creative platform that seeks to explore different spatial narratives in Architecture, Music and Art.
