CENTRAL SQUARE OF IOANNINA – CHRISTMAS TREE | ARTIST: GIORGOS KEVREKIDIS [CHALKIDA,GREECE]
The source of inspiration for the creation of the Christmas tree was the basic geometrical morphology of a typical Christmas tree forming an isosceles triangle as well as similar triangular forms connected to Christmas as the traditional iron triangles used to perform the carols in Greece.
Moreover, as the artist explains, "my intention for the 3d work creation was to include in its design, except for the simplified minimalistic geometry, the idea of developing an organic form related to every phyla into the plant kingdom".

CLOCK TOWER - ILLUMINATION | ARTIST: IOANNIS
GEKAS - GEKAS SA
The Clock Tower of Ioannina that was built in 1905 constitutes a landmark in the heart of the city. This exceptional monument is a mixture of 3 architectural styles, neoclassic, oriental and Mediterranean, a combination that will be highlighted in the night urban environment through the use of light.
The intention of the lighting installation was to underline the special architectural elements as well as to add a festive touch to the Clock Tower due to the Christmas days. The intense contrast of light-shadow, warm-cool and the gentle color interchange attempted to give depth and texture to this unique city symbol.
Ioannis Gekas is a lighting designer, mechanical engineer with a master degree in Architectural Lighting Design of Bartlett School of Architecture/UCL London.

was built around 1870 so as to house "Olympia" theater, while it also
later housed the Philharmonic Orchestra Conservatory [Kafodeio]. The aim of the
artists was to activate this historical building with the use of light and
sound. Chosen operettas mainly from the interwar period were customized through
