Konstantin Ikonomidis Architect, Maa

Konstantin Ikonomidis is a Swedish architect. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen in 2014, and studied at the Department of Architecture of the College of Built Environment at the University of Washington in 2012. His work bridges the territories of art, architecture and scientific research with a special interest in extreme climates.

He has played a key role in the development of prototype housing that seeks to prevent the transmissions of malaria borne diseases in tropical areas of Sub Saharan Africa. Konstantin has been researching and documenting remote landscapes in Greenland, exploring the subject of “home” and it’s immaterial aspects and meaning, and its symbols returning to the humbler task of understanding, rather than reforming.
Since 2019, Konstantin is developing a design-build cultural project, located on a UNESCO World Heritage site in Sarfannguit, Greenland. Designed to celebrate and promote the Inuit intangible cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of the environment, the Qaammat pavilion opened to the public on October 2021.
