Nikolas S. Dorizas studied architecture at the IUAV in Venice, with a thesis on neoclassicism at the chair of architectural typology. In 1991 he took part in the Séminaire Atelier Européen de Projet Urbain in Saint-Malo, France, and the same year in the international architectural competition for the new Acropolis Museum. His main focus is the restoration and conservation of neoclassical and traditional buildings over 100 years old, alongside architectural studies for private and holiday homes. His work has been published in magazines such as “Architecture in Greece”, “Themata Chorou & Technon”, “Living”, “Inside”, “Spiti & Poiotita Zois”, “Choros” and “Katoikia”, among others. In 1995 he joined the City & Urban Planning Policy Council of the Mayor of Athens, and from 1996, for nine years, served on the Urban Planning & Architectural Review Committee (EPAE). He has twice been elected to the representative body of the Association of Architects (1996 and 2018), served as advisor to the Mayor of Piraeus, and sat on the Central Council of Modern Monuments of the Ministry of Culture as advisor to the Minister. Alongside design he pursues historical research — he has authored two books on neoclassical architecture and co-authored three more, with writing published in “Epta Imeres” (Kathimerini) and the Bulletin of the Association of Architects. He keeps his architecture practice in Kastella, Piraeus.
