The bilingual volume “Topologies – Nikos Ktenas Architecture”, was published by ek Architectural Publications on the occasion of the event organized by ek magazine on December 12, 2025, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

The book, co-edited by Ariadni Vozani and Katerina Vassilakou, showcases ten realized buildings from the entire catalogue of Nikos Ktenas’ works, accompanied by previously unseen material – a text from his personal archive entitled “I Believe, I Research, I Consider” (2007) and an unpublished interview he had granted to ek publications (2018).

The Hotel Issue

The Hotel Issue of ek magazine explores the dynamic relationship between architecture and tourism — two fields that define the cultural and spatial identity of contemporary Greece and the Mediterranean.
Through exclusive features, interviews, and theoretical essays, ek magazine 302 presents a curated selection of hotel and resort architecture projects that redefine hospitality through design, sustainability, and emotional experience.

The annual bilingual edition Condo Buildings by ek magazine is dedicated to new-generation apartment buildings from Greece and Cyprus. The typology of apartment buildings continues to evolve, enriching its potential through new spatial arrangements and innovative construction techniques. The goal of this thematic publication is to annually document the most compelling examples of contemporary apartment buildings, thus creating an archive of emerging standards in collective housing.

The third volume presents 14 recently completed examples of new-generation residential complexes, alongside brief presentations of 10 additional projects currently under construction. The featured projects span various scales and typologies—from residential towers to lower-height developments—but share a common emphasis on innovation and sustainability within the contemporary urban environment.

The bilingual volume “Typologies of Feelings: Kokkinou Kourkoulas Architects and Associates”, featuring texts by AriadnιVozani and Yiannis Peponis, was published by ek Architectural Publications on the occasion of the event organized by ek magazine on December 13, 2024, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Designed by Typical Organization and curated by Andreas Kourkoulas, Katerina Kourkoulas, and Hannes Livers Gutberlet, the book captures the cultural imprint of the architectural firm from its inception in the late 1980s to the present.

This “cultural imprint” is a vital aspect of understanding the architectural work of Maria Kokkinou and Andreas Kourkoulas. Beyond addressing functional needs or even what is commonly perceived or interpreted as “aesthetic,” architecture inherently contributes to culture. The book reflects this cultural dimension through a primarily visual narrative, organized into five sections: Place, Vision, Stratification, Movement, Light. These thematic sections serve as a reading guide, highlighting the terms and dynamics that define the firm’s architectural composition.

Culture, as explored in this work, is intrinsically linked to a sense of refinement and the evocation of emotions capable of influencing, directly or indirectly, our daily lives. Through its visual and textual content, the volume invites readers to appreciate how architecture transcends mere utility, becoming a medium of cultural and emotional resonance.

In its 18th bilingual edition, the annual Apartments magazine unveils 14 of the latest designs of luxury apartments from around the world. The 2024 edition features works by esteemed architects and interior designers, including Maria Kardami Design Studio, O&A London, Véronique Cotrel, Kipseli Architects, Fluo Architecture and Design Studio, Minas Kosmidis Architects, Taller David Dana Arquitectura, Wei Yi Design, Office 111, Awish Architects, Pelargos Construction, MNK Design Studio / Kyriakos N. Michailidis, and Andreas Petropoulos. Additionally, it includes an exclusive interview with the acclaimed Greek designer, Yiannis Ghikas, discussing his early steps in design while residing in Greece, leading up to international recognition.

Apartments is an annual international edition of ek magazine and is available in the following countries: Greece, Cyprus, Australia, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain, United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar), the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The bilingual volume “Synchronicities: The Architecture of Rena Sakellaridou” by ek Architectural Publications, is curated by Ariadni Vozani. The monographic presentation within the book highlights Rena Sakellaridou’s “hybrid” role—simultaneously an architect, a professor of architecture, and an author—with a well-founded theoretical background. Rena Sakellaridou’s introductory statement, “all is one,” sets the tone for the works categorized into five distinct chapters. These chapters explore allegorical titles, navigating the realms of architecture, perceptual aesthetics, and conceptual-mental processes. Accompanying the presentations are brief autobiographical notes, providing nuanced perspectives on various aspects of her architectural journey.

Rena Sakellaridou, an influential figure in Greece’s architectural landscape, is a professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and a founding member of SPARCH architectural office. Currently leading the RS SPARCH office, her extensive portfolio includes individual and collaborative projects across various architectural categories and scales, earning accolades for its consistently high quality, both within Greece and internationally. Recognized in over 26 architectural competitions, her work has been showcased in 37 exhibitions, including prestigious venues such as the Venice Biennale, Milan Triennale, DAM Frankfurt, NAi Rotterdam, and RIBA. Notably, her buildings have been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award and the arcVision Award for Women in Architecture.

ParosVillas Vol. 3 is a special edition presenting 15 luxury vacation houses in Paros and Antiparos, as a documentation of the best recent architectural projects in the two celebrated Cycladic islands. The new, 2023 edition, contains architectural projects by LASSA Architects, K-Studio, Erpicum, Maria Doxa-Tala Mikdashi, Villy Attart, React Architects, Studio Seilern, GECO Paros Construction-Tassos Konopissopoulos, Veneris Architects, Dimitris Rizos, Theofanis Katapodis, Sofia Zournatzidou, Keith Rae, Studio 265.
Over the past few decades, Paros and Antiparos have emerged as benchmarks in contemporary architecture, with the creation of significant projects that have gained international recognition in the realm of vacation residences. However, as these two islands are rapidly transforming into popular tourist destinations, the surge in demand and accelerated pace of construction jeopardize the delicate equilibrium between the natural landscape and human intervention.

The projects included in this volume demonstrate how architects are now tasked with confronting the challenges of the times, encompassing aspects such as scale, density, periodic usage patterns, and sustainability. The main responsibility extends to attentively listening to the needs of residents and visitors, while safeguarding the integrity of nature and heritage, engaging in respectful and measured discourse.
ParosVillas 2023 is available at press outlets, malls, airports, and selected bookstores of the following countries: Greece, Cyprus, Australia, Germany, Italy, Korea, UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar), UK, USA.
ParosVillas is a special edition by ek magazine.

• The Architecture of Private Gardens

The 18th edition of Maison de Campagne presents 14 selected, recently built country houses in Greece.
Vacation homes translate the needs of their inhabitants, often based upon an idealistic idea of the Greek countryside, to the realities of their new living environment. It is always an interesting challenge for architects to introduce local qualities into the design, such as building scale, connection with the landscape, and consideration for the characteristics of a site: the contours, the sunlight, the wind, and the existence or lack of natural features.
In this publication, the selected projects are developed in Aegean and Ionian Greek islands, in the Peloponnese, and in Crete. Vacation homes establish an open conversation between history and the landscape, materials and time, contemporary and preexisting elements.
Maison de Campagne 2023 is available at press outlets, malls, airports, and selected bookstores of the following countries: Greece, Cyprus, Australia, Germany, Italy, Korea, UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar), UK, USA.
Maison de Campagne is an annual edition by ek magazine.
