After completing her architectural studies in Greece, Maria Tsilogianni received an MA in Design Critical Practice from Goldsmiths, University of London (2017). Her multidisciplinary practice moves between critical theory, speculative design and future studies. Using mixed media, she experiments with mechanisms and structures that invade domestic environments and disrupt everyday performativity in order to reinvent alternative interactions between humans and the built environment. She has been an artist-in-residence at Affect-Agora (Berlin, 2015) and her work has been published and presented at international conferences and group exhibitions, including: Cook 8, Benaki Museum (Athens, 2018); London Design Festival, (2017); Mittelweg, Mittelweg 50 (Berlin, 2015); Default 5//Long time no sea, Tsalapata Museum (Volos, 2015), 1st Thessaloniki Biennale of Architecture, 2012. She recently co-founded studio MIWI –a speculative design practice based in Athens and San Francisco that explores future scenarios through the design of immersive experiences as well as digital and spatial narratives.  Studio MIWI’s work has been awarded, published and exhibited internationally in the context of the following exhibitions and competitions: 1st prize and Vitra Design Museum Award Dancing. Alternative designs for clubs, Non Architecture Competitions, 2018; Aesthetics of Prosthetics, Pratt Institute, 2019; Honourable Mention at the Fairy Tales 2020 competition, organised by the online platform Blank Space Project. She is currently active in the field of Collectible Design, working on the production of avant-garde objects and spatial structures.
