Alkistis Thomidou is an architect, researcher, and educator. She co-founded forty five degrees, an international Berlin-based studio that approaches architecture as a multimedia, curatorial, and world-making practice. Their work engages immersive research, embodied rituals, and publishing as critical tools. The studio’s long-term project, Radical Rituals, investigates emerging spatial practices and vernacular rituals that nurture the commons across Europe, offering situated responses to global crises. Currently a researcher at HCU Hamburg, she has taught at Leibniz University Hannover and TU Braunschweig. As a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude, she explored material and immaterial commons and co-edited Roadside Picnics: Encounters with the Uncanny—a collection of essays, memoirs, and speculative storytelling that proposes artistic practice, words and action, as tools for navigating turbulent times and being actively present in the world.
