George Lykos was a prominent San Diego area architect, designer and artist who mentored generations of later artists in the San Diego area.
George Lykos was born in Boston on March 9, 1911. He secured his Bachelors of Architecture in 1935 and his Masters in 1936 both from MIT. Following graduation he served a fellowship travelling Europe (1936). He and Sidney Ingram Goldhammer organized the firm Lykos & Goldhammer Architecture & Engineering in 1942 and joined the San Diego Chapter of the AIA in 1947.
