Question: do you think Akrotiri used Cycladic architecture, or did the styles change over thousands of years?
If you mean whether Akrotiri's settlement had a similar architecture to the modern Cycladic one, almost certainly not. The modern Cycladic architecture has probably evolved from the late Byzantine times onward, at most. Then again, it certainly maintains an archaic (but also medieval) philosophy: minimal, small houses concentrated in hills, often far from the sea and overlooking it, close to fortresses. Protection from pirates. This was the structure of Ancient Cycladic towns and Mycenaean towns later (but not of the Minoan ones). But it's very unlikely that the houses looked like the "sugar cubes" we know today.
If you mean whether Akrotiri's settlement had a typical ancient Cycladic architecture, that's harder to tell for sure but Akrotiri in specific had a lot of influence from Minoan Crete (trade and settlers) and this is evident in the surviving ruins and art. I'd say Akrotiri looked like a Minoan town more than anything else.
