Battle of Thermopylae 480 BC _ constructing the scale models

Commissioned by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Fthiotida and Evrytania in the context of the celebrations "Anniversary year Thermopylae-Salamina 2020", our studio undertook the design and construction of two models to be exhibited at the facilities owned by the Ministry of Culture, near the site of the modern monuments of Lacedaemon and Thespiea. Through the cooperation with the ephorate but also the contribution of our office's associates and local craftsmen, the design and construction of the models was completed, and we delivered the final models to the exhibition space.
