Projects

Project 01

Sahelian HeatBreaker

Spring 2026
Competition entry for VELUX Light of Tomorrow 2026Locally sourced earth-based materialsThree-tier daylight capture strategyBiomorphic form for heat diffusion and durabilityNortheast orientation for Harmattan windsModular cluster system for scalability

Sahelian HeatBreaker is a VELUX Light of Tomorrow 2026 entry that treats extreme heat as a full climatic design problem, combining a biomorphic modular form, locally sourced earth-based materials, layered daylight capture, cross-ventilation, sand filtration, and modular clustering to create a cooler, more durable, and more livable shelter for Sahel communities.

Project 02

Hiker's Shelter

Spring 2026

A theoretical hiker's shelter on the Bayou State Trail (Louisiana).

A conceptual design for a hiker's shelter located along the Bayou State Trail in Louisiana. The project responds to flood-prone conditions, wetland ecology, and local craft, using lightweight modular components and raised platforms to minimize footprint while providing shelter, rest, and interpretive space for trail users.

Iklaina Archaeological Project

Iklaina Archaeological Project master photo

For all eighteen years of my life, I have spent my summers in Greece, where I have gained extensive hands-on experience in archaeological fieldwork, digital documentation, and geospatial technologies. In my role as Geospatial Team Lead, I have worked with tools such as the Nikon total station, DJI drones, and 3D photogrammetric scanning systems to record, map, and visualize archaeological sites with precision. These experiences have strengthened my ability to think spatially, work with complex site data, and translate physical environments into accurate digital models. As an architecture student, I see these skills as directly applicable to architectural design, site analysis, surveying, digital modeling, and the integration of technology into the study of built environments.

About Me

Hello! My name is Peter Cosmopoulos and I am a second-year architecture student at Tulane University with a passion for design, problem-solving, and the ways in which architecture shapes human experience. My work explores the relationship between form, function, and context, with an emphasis on creating spaces that are both visually compelling and responsive to the needs of their users. Through studio projects and independent design work, I continue to develop my skills in architectural visualization, digital modeling, and design communication.

Beyond architecture, I compete internationally in powerlifting as a member of the Greek National Team. I hold four Greek national records and have ranked among the top lifters in my weight class worldwide. The discipline, resilience, and long-term commitment required in competitive athletics have strongly influenced my approach to design, teaching me the value of consistency, attention to detail, and continuous improvement. I am particularly interested in the intersection of architecture, technology, and visualization, and I enjoy exploring new tools that expand the possibilities of design. Whether developing conceptual ideas, creating detailed models, or producing visual presentations, I approach every project with curiosity and a commitment to thoughtful, purposeful design. My goal is to build a career that combines technical excellence, creativity, and meaningful contributions to the built environment.
