A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF ARCHITECT Georgi Stoilov

Georgi Vladimirov Stoilov was born on 3rd April 1929 in Kondofrey, Bulgaria – a village in Pernik province, located roughly 60km from Sofia.

During WWII, Stoilov was one of Bulgaria’s youngest anti-fascist partisans, serving with the Radomir Partisan Detachment at the age of 15. He joined the Labor Youth Union in 1944, becoming a full member of the Bulgarian Communist Party by 1949. 

In 1954, Stoilov went to study at the Moscow Architectural Institute and took a job the same year with the engineering firm Glavproekt. Later, in 1965, he would spend a year in Paris developing a specialism in urban planning.
