Marios Messios studies and works to improve architectural innovation in Building Information Modeling ("BIM") with the use of Geographical Information System ("GIS") data, through all the phases of an architectural project. His primary focus is on web-based collaborative systems that bring the architect's team, the owner and the surrounding community closer, for a collective and mindful architecture, that benefits and improves all stakeholders' decision making.
Marios is an Architect Engineer and the Co-Founder and CEO of Parametricos. Marios has technical knowledge and experience in Architecture, BIM, GIS, Project Management, Architectural Design Software, Rendering Visualisation Software, Game Design, Design, Publication Editing and Design, Branding, Content Design, Website Design, UI & UX Design, Marketing, Sales.
As an architect and researcher, Marios has worked and collaborated in projects in Berlin at Sauerbruch Hutton Architects, in the Public Relations department for Publication Editing where he ensured the quality of 1216 illustrations for the firm’s portfolio publication (Archive II, Published in 2016, Lars Müller Publishers).
His experience proceeded as an External Specialist at Studio Aware in Frankfurt to explore a design approach that engages the non-experts in the creative process and as External Specialist at the Digital Design Unit (“DDU”) Darmstadt where, part of a great team of young professionals, they collaborated with the Internationale Bauausstellung ("IBA") Heidelberg in designing an urban vision for the Patrick Henry Village ("PHV") near the historical city of Heidelberg.
In 2016 he started his studio messiosmarios to work on interactive applications and projects, with different collaborators, that aimed to explore the importance of geographical data, gamification and parametricism in the design phase of a building. One of the significant projects on using geographical data and parametric design to find solutions was the Reverse Desertification project for the lack of water and how to use parametric architectural design and geospatial data from the Lands & Surveys Cyprus Department to optimise a structure in saving water.
During his final master’s thesis, at the Politecnico di Milano, Marios focused all his attention at generating a web-based solution to improve the surrounding environment and increase the collaboration with the end-user.
In hindsight, this was the birth of Parametricos a few months later in early 2018.
