Metaphyta
Demetra Papaspyrou, Angeliki Papanikolaou, and Katerina Tsevdou form Metàphyta a post-graduate architectural collective (University of Thessaly) grounded in material experimentation, narrative practices, and the poetics of place. Their collaborative work emerged from their diploma thesis path(ώ) as a verb: knots of remnants, exhibited at the Museum of the City of Volos as part of the FloodMarks exhibition.
The thesis became the seed for an ongoing practice rooted in the landscapes of Pelion, where walking, collecting, and storytelling act as tools of spatial reflection. Stones, branches, territories are treated as archives in between human and non human echoes of forgotten presences etched into the land. Through tactile studies, bio-based materials, sketching, photo-video-graphy, and small publications, Metàphyta explores architecture as a verb: a living, entangled process of sensing and remembering -moving between disciplines, between past and present, cultivating a practice that is both critical and intimate.
