ABOUT
"Architecture and Urbanism are about how people build and live together. One is the natural extension of the other."
- Michael Lykoudis
WORK
Lykoudis advises individuals and organizations on how to think about how we live together and
how we build in an age of social, political and environmental change.
Lykoudis’s work brings traditional architecture and urbanism together with principles of resilient and sustainable design. As Dean of the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, Michael has led his students in the design of many large scale projects, most notably the proposals for the downtown South Bend, Indiana city redesign and the rebuilding of the fire-ravaged city of Mati, Greece.
"There needs to be a new narrative: one that is agile and fluid, one that links scales, disciplines and the study and practice of architecture as never before."
-Michael Lykoudis
