Research Topic: Arcadia. Politics of Land and Nature in Greek Peripheral Landscapes: Towards an Extended Citizenship and on Extensive Ways of Commoning
Metaxia Markaki is an architect, researcher, and educator holding a PhD on Landscape and Urban studies from ETH–Zurich. Her research delves into the qualitative critical analysis of everyday lived experiences in Greek mountainous regions, focusing on processes of their peripheralisation. Metaxia earned her architecture degree with distinctions from NTU–Athens and ENSAPLV–Paris, and she holds a Master of Advanced Studies in Urban Design from ETH–Zurich.
Metaxia has taught research and design at ETH Studio Basel and Harvard GSD alongside Professors Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, as well as at the ETH Architecture of Territory with Professor Milica Topalovic. Her scholarly contributions, which include publications, exhibitions, and awards, have been widely recognised. She is the co-author of the books achtung: die Landschaft (Lars Müller Publishers, 2015), Territories of Extended Urbanisation: Tracing Planetary Struggles (Birkhäuser, 2023), and Researching Otherwise: Pluriversal Methodologies for Landscape and Urban Studies (gta verlag, 2024). Practicing as an architect since 2014, she co-founded the research design collective Landscape In-Between with Simona Ferrari in 2019, following a first-place win at the international Europan15 competition.
