Life

Nikolakopoulos studied at the Pratt Institute and then at Columbia University and opened his architectural office in Athens in 1980. At the first competition for the new Acropolis Museum in 1990, he submitted a highly regarded contribution, which was not taken into account in the later implementation. As a result of the competition, he was commissioned to make the Greek contribution to the Biennale di Venezia in 1991.

His work has the motto "Less aesthetics, more ethics" («Λιγότερη Αισθητική, Περισσότερη Ηθική») and can be classified as minimalism . From the 1990s he built numerous villas and several apartment houses in the suburbs of Athens, of which the house in Psychiko in particular received worldwide attention.
