Greek architect Elia Zenghelis, a co-founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), dies at age 89. Both outlets report that he dies on 30 August 2026, though neither provides additional public details about the circumstances of his death.
Accounts agree that Zenghelis is also known as an architectural educator and influential figure in architectural education in the late twentieth century. ArchDaily emphasizes his impact on generations of architects through long-running teaching across Europe and the United States, describing his influence as extending beyond his built work. Dezeen similarly highlights his role as an educator, and also notes his position as director of Gigantes Zenghelis Architects. Neither outlet names surviving family members or specific projects in the provided text.
