[ Kostas Terzidis, Ph.D. ]

Kostas Terzidi's work focuses on creative experimentation within the threshold between arts, architecture, music, and computer science. He has studied extensively the implications of virtual reality for the representation of space and spatiality in art and architecture. He is the author of many computer applications on form-making, morphing, filtering, and network mapping. His most recent work is the development of a visualization system in Java, called zhapes.

Kostas Terzidis is an Assistant Professor in UCLA's Department of Architecture. He received his Ph.D. in Architecture/Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan and his M.Arch. in Computer-aided Architectural Design from the Ohio State University. He also holds a Diploma of Engineering and is a practicing architect in Greece.

His research projects include " A Virtual World Map", "Virtual Cinema Theaters", "Moving Inside Painting Spaces", and "On Morphing Systems." He has presented papers and lectured widely on both virtual reality and design systems at conferences ranging from design methods to engineering applications. His most recent presentation has been at the SIGGRAPH Conference of 1999 and 2000.
