JOHN “YANNI” FOTIADIS

ARCHITECT / ARTIST / LECTURER

John Fotiadis (known as “Yanni” to his friends) is licensed Architect in the United States (New York and New Jersey). With over twenty five years of professional experience as a practicing Architect and independent consultant, he has designed large scale architectural projects in the United States and abroad.

Yanni is also a recognized artist. Most recently his drawings documenting a 2019 trip to ancient sites in Greece titled “The Solace of Antiquity”, is on Exhibit at the Hellenic-American Project at Queens College, City University of New York. In addition to architecture and fine art, Yanni is also a musician/composer. He has written, recorded and released three albums of original music, and has also written music for film, TV, and podcasts.

Considered a “rennaisance man” to his friends and acquaintences, Yanni’s singular goal in his creative work has always been a search for truth and beauty.
