What is toichos project?

The toichos project is an ambitious multidisciplinary initiative, located on Tinos island from April to May 2025 with the participation of six important architects/designers from France, Marlon Bagnou Beido, Ophelie Dozat, Anna Saint Pierre, Côme Rolin, Olivier Thomas, Mathias Palazzi. It is both a research and creative project and it is implemented firstly through on-site research – creation – exhibition on Tinos followed by an exhibition in Athens and the creation of a publication as a collective volume in Paris.

The project is implemented with the partial support of Culture Moves & the French Institute, under the auspice of the Agricultural University of Athens and with the participation of a wide group of mentors: researchers – academics, geologists, architects, craftsmen, educators, visual artists, archaeologists, economists.

Its aim is to highlight the traditional art of building with dry stone and its importance for:

  • The local cultural heritage
  • Modern architects
  • Modern methods and use of materials for building

In relation to modern methods and materials of architecture, through interdisciplinarity and association with the community.

The Toichos project, which surprisingly is pronounced teehos, meaning wall in Greek is a multifaceted initiative organized by @nwmw.gr based on the idea of @mathias.palazzi aiming to connect traditional techniques with contemporary architectural practice combining foreign and local points of view on a multidisciplinary level.

Participants: Marlon Bagnou Beido, Ophelie Dozat, Anna Saint Pierre, Côme Rolin, Olivier Thomas, Mathias Vincent.
