Featured Project
Located on a narrow site in the centre of Shenzhen’s Futian district, home to many of China’s most innovative technology companies, the 76,000 sq. m tower’s composition is defined by its surrounding urban environment.
Iraklis completed his studies in Architecture at the University of Greenwich where his Diploma thesis explored the perception of parametric architecture through the lens of Aristotle’s Poetics. He acquired his Part III Qualification at the Architectural Association in London.
Outside of architecture, he enjoys practising ice dance and immersing himself in the underwater landscapes of Greece.
