We are deeply saddened by the passing of Vassilis Sgoutas, architect and Honorary President of the UIA.
Vassilis was not only a distinguished architect and an inspiring leader, but also a generous, thoughtful, and profoundly human presence within our community. His vision, wisdom, and kindness left an enduring legacy at the UIA and in the lives of all who had the privilege to work alongside him. His commitment to social responsibility in architecture lives on through the Vassilis Sgoutas Prize for Implemented Architecture Serving the Impoverished, a UIA triennial prize established in 2008.
