Nikos Ktenas

Architectural Event at SNFCC

“I believe that architecture is, above all, a spiritual process—or, as Louis Kahn so aptly put it, a ‘…search into the nature of human existence’.”
— Nikos Ktenas, July 2007

ek magazine, with the support of the Hellenic Institute of Architecture, will host an event honoring architect Nikos Ktenas at the SNFCC in December 2025. Nikos Ktenas, Associate Professor at the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), passed away in July 2022, during the most mature and creatively productive phase of his professional and academic career.

Recognized as one of the most important architects of his generation, Ktenas left a lasting impact on both the Greek and international architectural landscapes, enriching urban and suburban environments with works of exceptional design quality. His acclaimed and award-winning portfolio spans diverse building typologies and scales, as well as urban regeneration projects.

Through a series of presentations by invited speakers, the event will seek to highlight his significant contributions to contemporary Greek architecture, architectural education, and cultural discourse.
