Evangelos D. Vassiliadis was born in Greece and gained a Bachelors degree in Architecture at Liverpool University, UK, in 1950 - his thesis subject being British council housing. In 1955, he enrolled as a post-graduate student at the Architectural Association’s Department of Tropical Architecture (DTA). Documents with the DTA archive record the newly admitted student as having been Consultant Architect to the Provident Association of Egypt and a lecturer on architectural design at the Technical School in Alexandria. By the early 1960s he appears to have moved to Karachi, Pakistan, working with Constantinos Doxiades. Correspondence within the Doxiades Archive suggest that Vassiliadis was employed between c1957-1963. Evangelos seems to have subsequently established his own practice in Athens by the mid-1960s, with perhaps his most significant project being the British Embassy in Athens (1967-69), designed with Ioannis Antoniadis and E. Bedford, of the British Ministry of Public Works.
