Masterplanning for the Museum of Traditional Epirotic Clothing- “Amalia Frontzos Foundation”
A most prominent historic house, the residence of Konstantinos and Amalia Frontzos, in the
heart of the city of Ioannina is to become a cultural hub dedicated to the collection and study
of traditional Epirotic clothing. Aiming to project the craftsmanship involved, but also to
communicate and strengthen the links to current trends of fashion design, the Amalia
Frontzos Foundation would be displaying, researching and using the extensive collections of
traditional costumes in order for these to become catalysts of contemporary creation.
Responding to challenges around circulation and accessibility, the proposed masterplan
caters for all needs and provides a flexible, fluid use of the spaces available, merging the
various functions while respecting the historic building and furnishings.
