Michail Vlasopoulos

Originally trained as an architect in the National Technical University of Athens, I graduated from Harvard University with a Master’s degree in the History and Philosophy of Design, with the thesis "Spinoza, Goethe, and the Philosophy of Form" while I earned my Ph.D. from the John U. Nef Committee in Social Thought, University of Chicago with the dissertation "The Beginning of the End of Matter: Three Moments in the History of an Idea, 1547-1713." My works, fusing architectural renderings into story-telling, have received various prizes and distinctions across the world including the Gerald M. McCue Medal 2012 and the Grand Prize at the 26th Space Prize Competition 2009; while my essays have been published in major print journals such as: Korea’s SPACE art journal; MIT Thresholds; RICE University PLAT journal 1.5; McGill University’s ARC journal; APEIRA issue 1 and ABITARE International in a monthly column.
