Ioanna Stavroulaki

Ioanna Stavroulaki is an Associate professor in Architecture and a member of the SMoG_Spatial Morphology Group (smog.chalmers.se). She conducts basic and applied research in spatial morphology at urban and building scale. Her research focus is on developing descriptive analytical methods and digital tools for the analysis and modelling of building and urban layouts (e.g., Place Syntax Tool), to understand the relation of spatial form, human behaviour, and social activity (e.g., movement flows, patterns of co-presence, patterns of use, spatial cultures). She is co-founder of the Urban Calculator AB, a non-profit company that specialises in developing design-oriented analytic tools for architects, urban designers, and planners (e.g., Urban Calculator). She teaches in undergraduate and postgraduate courses with a focus on spatial morphology, system thinking and evidence-based design in building and urban scale at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering (e.g. ACE535 Social-ecological urbanism, ACE445 Design Systems, ACE 615 Space, form and structure).
