Pavlos Philippou is an architect and urban designer engaged in practice and research, whose general interests encompass the history and theory of both architecture and urbanism, as well as the ways spatial design strategies contribute to the contemporary city in creative ways. Following a brief spell in London, Pavlos has been working with J+A Philippou since 1999, while his design work has been published and exhibited internationally. Concurrent to his professional engagement at J+A Philippou, Pavlos has acted first as Member and then as President of the Cypriot Planning Board, while he has worked as adjunct faculty at the University of Cyprus and University of Nicosia. In parallel, Pavlos publishes relatively regularly in peer-reviewed journals. Beyond these, he has participated in design juries-reviews, has led workshops, has acted in Diploma/PhD Committees and has delivered lectures in numerous universities around the world (mainly within the United Kingdom, but also in Australia, Cyprus and Greece). In the past, Pavlos has taught at London’s Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA), where he completed all three of his degrees – namely, Diploma, M.A. (Housing & Urbanism, Distinction) and Ph.D.
