CONCISE CURRICULUM VITAE

I was born in Livadia in 1941, when the Germans entered Greece.

I studied Architecture in  National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) 1960 – 1965

After finishing my studies, I worked in NTUA Urban Planning Research Institute 1967 – 1968 (a kind of Master’s program) founded by Professor Antonis Kriezis.

With the imposition of dictatorship(1967) , the Urban Planning Research Institute was closed due to resistance action by some of his members  and the Professor was dismissed.

In the Fall of 1968, I was forced to return to Livadia and worked as a freelancer architect  on private and public projects.

As  elected Municipal Councilor for three four years, I helped in the architectural works of the Municipality of Levadea.

I collaborated with the then Metropolitan of Thebes and Levadeia, Mr. Nikodimos, and with the current archbishop, Mr. Jeronimus in various works:

  • renovation of Monasteries,
  • building churches,
  • repair of church buildings

The Metropolitan Mr. Nikodimos  laid the foundations for the creation  of a Nursing Home for Mental Patients from Leros and then for the construction of a Nursing Home for the Elderly for the Region of Livadia.

I became a member of the Associations:

  • Mill Surveyors,
  • PA.KE.THRA. (Cultural Center of Thrace).

After my retirement I collected my drawings and tried to preserve the architectural, industrial and urban heritage  of Livadeia through my books (see artistic and written work).
