Sofia Downtown

[Orestes Hardy]

Onany given night you'll find her creating the vibe in the DJ perch of the city's most exciting rooms to be young and off-leash - Jean's, Wiggle Room, Kind Regards - or performing with her cult favorite band MICHELLE. The uptown Chapin girl turned downtown It name is a scene staple and surefire sign that you've picked the right place to spend your night.

Where can we catch you in the DJ booth?

You can catch me spinning mostly at Wiggle Room, Kind Regards, Ding-a-Ling, and Bar Valentina (a great date spot, tbh). I always post my gigs on Instagram!

first level - entrance hall, guest bedroom, children's room, bathroom, kitchen with access to terrace with fully opening windows with Reynaers mechanisms, dining and living room, access to a terrace, corner that can be set aside for cigars/wine storage, master bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite large bathroom, guest toilet

In the downtown there are the buildings of the National Assembly, the Presidency, the Council of Ministers, all ministries and highest court institutions- The Supreme Cassation Court, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Supreme Court Council, Central Prosecutors Bureau, etc. Here are also some other national institutions (Constitutional Court, Central Road Management Office, etc.), several economic institutions (Bulgarian Economy Chamber), as well as institutions primarily engaged in the accomplishment of the reforms in the country (Privatization Agency, Mass Privatization Agency, Foreign Investment Agency, etc.).

The story of the capital's development is very interesting and dates back as early as the 80s of the 19ht c when Sofia began turning into a Middle-European city following the models of European cities consistent with Bulgarian specifics.

The architecture changed with the acquisition of European style, taste and fashion. The public and residential architecture during the first twenty years after the Liberation of Bulgaria from Turkish domination was almost completely created by foreigners- architects, constructors and designers, who came to Bulgaria for a specified term and with specific tasks. Most of them were from Austro-Hungary, but there were also Germans, Armenians, Polish, and Italians.

The construction possibilities in the center are limited. Most of the residential buildings are in the Medical Acdemy region between "Skobelev", "P. Slaveykov", "Praga" and "Ivan Geshev" blvds. and in the "Oborishte" region between the "V. Levski", "Dondukov", "Yanko Sakazov" blvds. and "Oborishte" str.

The Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering is situated in the Academic Campus of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Block 21, some 4 km from the Sofia downtown. Check the location at Google Maps:

Sofia Airport (both Terminals) are connected to the downtown Sofia by buses 84 and 184. The ticket costs 1.60 BGN if paid by a credit/debit card at the validator device in the bus, or 2.00 BGN if paid to the driver in cash. Bigger luggage usually has to be paid additionally with a separate ticket. The trip by metro to the city centre will take about 40 minutes. The frequency of the trains is about 20-30 minutes from 5:00 to 23:30. Check the bus schedules here:

There is only one authorized taxi company to operate at the taxi piazza of Sofia Airport, OK SuperTrans (973 21 21). The ride to the conference venue can take 15-25 minutes, depending on the traffic, and the distance is about 10 km. Taxi fees for Sofia are available here:

The local currency in Bulgaria is Bulgarian Lev (BGN). For the last 25 years, the Lev maintains the fixed exchange rate of 1.95583 Lev for 1 Euro. Change bureaus and banks in the city offer exchange rates within reasonably small variation from the official course.

If you need to exchange money at the airport change bureau, we advise you to exchange only a small amount that would cover only basic expenditures like transportation costs to the hotel, as the exchange rate there may be substantially higher than in the city.

For Bulgaria there are two associated plug types, types C and F. Plug type C is the plug which has two round pins and plug type F is the plug which has two round pins with two earth clips on the side. Bulgaria operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. Check for details here: -plugs

Bulgaria has a temperate climate with warm dry summers and cooler winters. In June, days are usually hot with balmy evenings, so visitors should pack light and cool clothing. The average daily maximum temperature is 27 C and the average daily minimum is 17 C. There is a 65% chance of a perfect sunny day and a 36% chance of seeing a mixture of sunshine and clouds with an average 14 mm of rainfall this month and 71% average humidity.

Sofia Dermisi holds a joint appointment between the Department of Real Estate and the Department of Urban Design and Planning. She is the Victor L. Lyon and Alvin J. Wolff Endowed Professor in Real Estate. She is also the Chair of the Interdisciplinary Group for Real Estate (IGRE), which focuses in cross-discipline collaboration in teaching and research. In her joint appointment role she focuses on maintaining a formal two-way connection between the two departments on courses, student interests and research. This role is especially important among the MUP students who pursue the Real Estate specialization or have interests in real estate courses, for which she serves as their advisor.

Dermisi has an interdisciplinary approach in her teaching and research as real estate is one of those fields someone can have significant flexibility in focusing on different uses (e.g. office, residential, retail etc.), scales (local, national, international etc.) and aspects (e.g. market analysis, development, investment etc.). Real estate is also typically linked with other fields such as social and economic, construction among many others, which help us understand and possibly predict in the short and long-run expansion and contraction patterns of the real estate markets. Her area of research has always focused on understanding the evolution of office markets and the effect of internal and external shocks in downtown areas. Office markets have evolved significantly through time and understanding how real estate markets react to deferent economic conditions helps predict future market shifts in a highly cyclical industry. The adoption of sustainable practices by office buildings is another aspect of her research especially in regards to existing buildings, when the capital investment tends to be more significant than a new construction. The last but not least aspect of her research focuses on the effect of disasters on office and hotel markets.

Dermisi has received various grants for her research and received multiple awards highlighting her contribution to the field. She also serves as the elected Program Chair of the American Real Estate Society conference in 2018 and the Vice President of the Society. She will be the President of the American Real Estate Society in 2019-2020, and only the second woman to be elevated by members in such a position, but the first non-US born.

Dermisi, holds a Diploma in Planning and Regional Development Engineering from the University of Thessaly-Greece (1998) and a Master and Doctorate in Design Studies (1999 and 2002 respectively) from Harvard University.
