Christos-Georgios Kritikos holds a PhD from the School of Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies (FORTH). He also holds a MA in Architectural History from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (2016), a M.Sc. in Methodology of Research in Architecture from NTUA (2017) and a Diploma in Architecture from the same university (2014).
His PhD (2023), conducted within the History & Theory of Architecture Lab, NTUA and funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation and the State Scholarships Foundation, aims at a critical historical examination of the urban conservation policies that emerged in the city of Athens after the end of the seven-year military dictatorship in 1974, as well as their repercussions on the city’s social geography. His post-doc research has mainly focused on the conflict between private property and urban heritage in modern Athens.
As a PhD candidate he mainly worked as a research associate in various research programs and as a teaching assistant in Architectural History & Theory courses at NTUA. After acquiring his PhD, apart from his post-doc research, he has been teaching Architectural History and Theory as an adjunct lecturer in the Departments of Architecture at the University of Thessaly and at the University of Ioannina.
