Γιώργος Ξανθόπουλος (1996, Athens) is an architect, urbanist, and researcher based in Athens. With degrees in Architecture (MArch, University of Patras) and Urbanism (MSc, TU Delft), his work spans from the scale of objects to regional strategies. Giorgos’ approach is contextual, research-based and driven by experimentation. He has professional experience across all stages of design — from concept and permitting, to construction and site-supervision. His thesis project Another Rural was shortlisted for the BK Archiprix awards, exploring the role of spatial imaginaries in post-growth planning and used storytelling as a tool for research, design and public engagement. Building on this, he has written about bioregionalism in spatial planning, examining how ecological, geomorphological and social particularities can inform spatial governance. Alongside his freelance practice, he co-leads Ceramic Futures, a research project that experiments with clay as a medium for design, critical reflection, and collective imagination.
