In 1913, he was involved in drawing up the urban plan of
Thessaloniki and from 1915 to 1917 he worked for the Municipality of
Athens. During the same period, he was also involved in the urban plans of
Tripoli and
Mytilini. He converted a building in Athens to house the
Byzantine Museum. He was in charge of the reconstruction of the church of St. Demetrios in Thessaloniki after a 1917 fire. In 1911, he published a manifesto,
Popular Architecture, that promoted a Greek
vernacular architecture or par with Greek poetry and other arts. His early works were designed in a conscious "return to our roots" style that included
Byzantine Revival buildings such as the cathedral of Agios Nikolaos, the church of Agios Konstantinos, the church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour (all in
Volos). He also blended traditional architecture with contemporary trends in modernism, such as with his Cathedral of the Apostle Paul in
Corinth and the Haztimichali House in
Plaka. His last works were largely modernist in nature, influenced by the Bauhaus movement. He died in Athens in 1939. ==References==
