Chris Aniftos
Project Designer | New York, NY
From a young age, Chris has always been interested in doing something creative. Originally pursuing abstract sculpture and animation while attending art school, Chris decided to switch into architecture and design after taking an ancient architecture class. Inspired by the immaculate works of his ancestors, being the child of Greek-Cypriot immigrants, Chris sought to learn to capture the beauty and magnitude he had experienced that day. His time in that class also helped solidly his deep love for history and theory, something he continues to learn and pursue to this day.
Chris received a BFA in Architecture with a minor in Architectural History from the Savannah College of Art and Design and received his Master’s in Architecture from Pratt Institute. While at Pratt Chris taught architectural theory and history as a Teacher Assistant as well as working as a shop monitor and fabrication/material researcher for the school’s fabrication department. After school Chris worked in architectural fabrication for high end Manhattan retail before moving on to working in offices specializing in architecture & interior design.
Outside of architecture, Chris is a musician and plays shows with his band around NYC.
