Andreas Papadakis
Andreas Constantine Papadakis FLS (17 June 1938 – 10 June 2008) was a Greek Cypriot-born British academic, entrepreneur and leading figure in the field of architectural publishing. He opened the Academy Bookshop in Holland Street, Kensington in 1964 and moved into publishing as Academy Editions in 1968. From then until 1990, when he sold the company to VCH Germany (now part of John Wiley) he published more than a thousand titles mainly on art, architecture and the decorative arts.〔Anon. (2008) Andreas Papadakis: Publisher; Times Online Obituary. ''Times Online'', 30 Jul. () Available at: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article4424818.ece 〕 He was the first to publish (in USA - Rizzoli 'and latter St. Martin's Press) many international architects in the 'Architectural Monographs No...' series,〔(Architectural Monographs No... )〕 which included Alvar Aalto (No 4), Michael Graves (No 5), Edwin Lutyens (No 6), John Soane (No 8), Terry Farrell (No 9), Richard Rogers (No 10), Mies van der Rohe (No 11), Hassan Fathy (No 13), Tadao Ando (No 14), Daniel Libeskind (No 16), etc.; and Victor Arwas’s ''Art Deco'', first published in 1980 remains the standard work on the subject.〔Anon.

==Early life==
Papadakis was born in Nicosia, Cyprus on 17 June 1938 and relocated to London in 1956. He obtained a DIC from Imperial College and a PhD from Brunel University. In 1964 he bought a house in Holland Street, Kensington without realising that the shop (then a dry cleaners) on the ground floor could not be used for residential purposes.〔 He decided to open a bookshop. The Academy Bookshop began as a general bookshop. His first publications were finely bound limited editions of other publishers’ books but he soon decided that he would prefer to make his own and began in 1967 with a large format paperback of Aubrey Beardsley’s prints, an ideal title to attract the customers of Biba, who had recently opened her shop just round the corner in Kensington Church Street. The Beardsley book was still in print when Academy was sold in 1990.〔〔
