(b Athens, 4 March 1913; d 18 Sept 1993). Greek architect. He studied at the Technische Universität München (1931–6). On his return to Greece he worked for the Town Planning Department of the Greater Athens Area (1937–9) and for the Ministry of Public Works (1942–53). He is generally regarded as the most original and important Greek architect after World War II, successfully combining Modernism with Greek regional architecture, of which he had a profound first-hand knowledge. The first expression of his concerns was in the weekend house (1951) in Sykia, Peloponnese, where the Brutalist treatment of materials and serial articulation of spaces were derived from anonymous architecture, while the clarity of syntax was influenced by Modernist rigour.
