Giorgos Mitroulias(Athens, 1978) studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens (1996-2002). Awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 2003, he received his MsAAD at Columbia University, NY (2004), before working in the office of Steven Holl Architects. 

In 2006 he co-founded AREA, Architecture Research Athens (www.areaoffice.gr).Their built architectural work in Greece is complemented by multiple distinctions in both Greek and international competitions, such as the AthensX4 competition in 2010 (1st Prize), and the European urban design competition Europan in 2013 in Germany and in 2015 in Portugal. Their research has been presented in international exhibitions such as "Made in Athens" at the Greek Pavilion of the Venice Biennale (2012), "Adhocracy Athens" (2015), and "Tomorrows" in Nantes (2019). Their architectural projects were among the Greek nominations for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award in 2017 and 2021. In 2022, they were shortlisted for the AR Emerging Awards (UK) among 16 creative offices worldwide, and they have also received recognition in the Record Houses Awards (USA), AR House Awards (UK), and DOMa Awards (GR).

Since 2007 he has taught a design studio at the University of Thessaly School of Architecture and in 2013 he was a visiting professor in the Architecture School of the University of Cyprus.
