Bio
Evangelos holds a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California where he has also worked as a teaching and research assistant. His research work focuses on the use Multi Agent Design Systems and the integration of generative design techniques and behavioral form finding methods with numerical analysis and digital fabrication techniques. He has earned his Master of Advanced Studies in the field of Computer Aided Architectural Design from the ETH in Zurich (2012), and also got his Diploma in Architecture from the Aristotle’s University of Thessaloniki, Greece (2010), where he is a registered architect. Professionally, Evangelos has gained experience in several international offices, including Graft Architects in Berlin, Studio Pei Zhu in Beijing and Buro Happold Engineering in Los Angeles. He has co-founded Topotheque design office, a studio that engages computational design with various tangent disciplines, including architecture, furniture and product design. His research has been presented in multiple Design-Computing Conferences and his professional work has been exhibited at venues such as the Venice Biennale of Architecture, the Modern Art Museum of Lausanne (ELAC) and the Benaki Museum in Athens. Since 2014, he lives and works/studies in Los Angeles.
