Bio
Georgios Grigoriadis is an Architect (of things).
His work seeks to engage with the notions of curiosity and impact. Curiosity as the constant movement upon media, scale and disciplines. Impact as the moving force for mindful and solution entropy design for a complex world. He identifies as an Architect, Designer, Creative technologist, World Maker and Word Maker.
Georgios is currently a graduate student in the Master of Design (MDes) program at UC Berkeley. He holds a Diploma of Architecture and Architecture Engineering from the School of Architecture of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He was a researcher at the Innovative Environments research cluster of the same faculty, conducting research and academic related activities. George is the co-founder of the space design practice GHOST office (no place specific, 2019) and one of the founding members of the creative collective xyzzy (Thessaloniki, 2015). He is a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece since 2019.
Georgios was born in Thessaloniki and lived in various places around Greece. He values context awareness and adaptability.
I am really excited about the potential that this cohort presents due to its diversity. An environment of different expertise and cultural backgrounds that I am sure will thrive.
