About

I’m Dafni Maragkou, an architect and researcher based in Amsterdam, working across Greece and internationally with public institutions and universities. My practice sits at the intersection of infrastructure, policy processes and spatial analysis, focusing on institutional environments, public space and interdisciplinary research. I am drawn to how regulation, bodies and systems shape spatial conditions and how design can respond to them.

I combine architectural design, research and consultancy to reorganize and adapt public building stock, plan renovations and accessibility studies, and translate spatial needs into funding-enabled technical specifications. My work spans competitions, projects and exhibitions that explore the politics of space and the body, from the scale of urban spaces to intimate interiors.
