"Engonopoulos's houses are 'psychographs' of buildings."
Dimitris Pikionis
In 1972, the Technical University of Athens published a collection of 18 of Engonopoulos's Greek Houses series. These works were faithful representations and, at the same time, personal interpretations of reality, truthfully reflecting Engonopoulos's inner beauty and graciousness.1
