Andreas Kostopoulos

Andreas Kostopoulos is a Greek architect and the founder of Manhattan Projects New York City (MPNYC), a studio operating between Athens, New York and London. He studied computational structural engineering at the National Technical University of Athens and architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, then worked at Diller Scofidio + Renfro, where he contributed to cultural and civic projects.

MPNYC, launched during the pandemic, pursues what he calls enduring architecture in an era of compulsive novelty, combining references from different periods and disciplines instead of a signature style. The work includes Castor Place in Piraeus, a 19th-century warehouse converted into a flexible venue for exhibitions and performance, the Maison Bardot gallery on Antiparos, and Self-Portrait boutiques in London and across Asia.
