Marianthi Liapi is a registered architect in Greece. She holds a Diploma in Architecture and Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki/AUTh and a MSc degree in Design and Computation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/MIT. For her studies in the US she was awarded scholarships from the Fulbright Foundation, the Michelis Foundation, the Gerontelis Foundation and the MIT SA+P. During 2006-2007, she was a Research Associate at AUTh investigating the impact of digital design tools and techniques on contemporary architectural education. In 2008, she began teaching from an Adjunct Lecturers position at the Technical University of Crete (TUC). Currently she is a Research Associate at the TUC Transformable Intelligent Environments laboratory. She is also a PhD candidate at AUTh. Her research interests are grounded in the field of architecture and from there on they are branching out in transformable intelligent environments, extreme environments, learning environments and playscapes, as well as in visual communication and strategies for information design. She employs a human-centered approach to research the experiential ergonomics of space through the application of architecturally flexible and technologically intelligent structures. She has developed two specific approaches for the successful implementations of IT in design titled psychospatiality and sensponsive architecture, in collaboration with Kostis Oungrinis. So far, her research work has been presented in international architecture (ACADIA, eCAADe, SIGraDi, EAAE/ENHSA, EuropIA) and interdisciplinary conferences (ICCMSE, EPA, ICSC, IPA, IAC), in refereed journal publications and books. She is annually involved with the organization and teaching of international architecture workshops. In 2002 she received an honourable mention at the ACADIA DDE Competition. In 2008 she received the Europe 40 under 40 Architecture Award. In 2015, her Many Happy re-Turns project was a Silver Winner at the IDA International Design Awards.
