He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Precise Optics in Mykonos, Greece by Dimitrios Tsigos – OmniviewFebruary 3rd, 2015 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Dimitrios Tsigos – Omniview In 1992, the sculptor Anish Kapoor addressed with his sculpture ” when I am pregnant ” the geometric relationship between a plain white wall and a double curved form. The iconic piece of art has been inspiring architects ever since, introducing the capability for a typical wall to seamlessly evolve to a more elaborate shape, while familiarizing the public with the aesthetics of such a transition  Image Courtesy © Dimitrios Tsigos – Omniview

Moreover, we wanted a design that would allude to the aesthetic of the initial Preciseoptics store that was built in 2009, and would capitalize on the brand awareness the company has built ever since.

One that is based on the same operation with anish’s beautiful work of art, but morphs into forms that are more complex and more functional, and are suitable for the exhibition of glasses and for all the other programs that are associated with the function of the store  Image Courtesy © Dimitrios Tsigos – Omniview The result was one that we believe is an uncompromising response to the design concept. An environment that is unmistakably referential to the mukonean aesthetic, highly coherent to indigenous construction trends, but at the same time an intrepid showcase of the advanced cutting edge morphologies that modern architecture is made of.
