Architecture is not just about buildings and construction, but the way architects think can be applied to many different fields. With their strong visual processing skills and deep understanding of complex systems, architects work at the intersection of data, design, management and behavior. Christos believes that combining design thinking (architecture) with decision thinking (management) can create more interdisciplinary solutions for challenges that cities may face in the future.
