Andreas Lordos was born in Famagusta, Cyprus. He has a degree in Architecture from UC, Berkeley and an MBA from the University of Cyprus. Andreas is a long-standing member of the Board of Directors of the English School, Nicosia and a Board Member of the of the American International School, Nicosia. He has participated in a number of inter-communal projects. He is married to Zoe, who’s also an architect,and they have four children. Their work facility adjoins their home-a building, or, more precisely, an ecosystem, located within the walled part of Nicosia. Andreas’ passions include archaeology, anthropology, history, and rock climbing – a leisure pursuit, which has recently evolved into weekend family excursions. He is particularly concerned about education, and is a firm believer that if we better comprehend and communicate the Cypriot identity, and allow it to unravel, this can indeed lead to peace.
