I was born in Athens in 1937. During my childhood I lived in an interwar block of flats in Exarchia.  In this old neighborhood there were plenty of neoclassical buildings, one of which was my elementary state school. The Exarchia cultural environment influenced my decision to study architecture.

I graduated from the National Technical Uniνersity of Athens, School of Architecture in 1960. My interest in urban planning started from my graduation lecture on the parks of London.
