In nowadays architecture and technology should go ''hand in hand'' I think architecture is combination of all the great subjects of inform ation: art, mathematics, physics,etc. I consider myself as an artistic person. I think you can find art in everything. Every building has to have meaning of shape and appearance

I am very fascinated about connection between architecture and nature. How golden ratio and architecture of natural plants appears from ancient architecture till being integrated in new building construction and urban plans all over the world. Nature is an example of how we should build, as we are part of nature.
''Drawing helps me to visualise future buildings surrounding environment.''

I am sure; today's architects wouldn’t be imaginable without knowledge of Building Information Modelling. IT has become part of daily routine for modern Architect.

And while some programs are more recognizable in Europe, or specifically Denmark, others are worldwide used. Still most of them represent the same goals reach by different ways, outstand with different quality.

4.SEM S2011
During my 3th semester I was writing a compulsory research report on self chosen topic. I was investigating zero energy houses, passive houses and other alternative building construction.
one of few in the whole world-
this house is part of Model Home
2020 project by company VELUX and it has a strategy of taking active part in developing sustainable buildings of the future, designed to synthesise a perfect balance of energy efficiency, indoor climate, architecture and leading cleantech solutions.
Passive houses are specially popular in Scandinavian countries with cold climate, however, in my opinion, some systems can be revised and used to control internal ventilation and heat, therefore applied in building industry at hot climate zones as well.
7.SEM A2012 Passive house is a simple construction system based on five

Elective Self Study Report: ''Nanotechnology in building construction'' During my 4th semester I chose to write about Nanotechnology applied to building materials.
3.SEM A2010
This report shows an investigation of a new technology nanotechnology, reviling a lot of amazing inventions many different type of building construction materials, like: insulations; coverings; coatings; roofing and structural materials; concrete; steel ; wood and others.
Self cleaning concrete, ceramic tiles and window glass! Nanotechnology, when applied to building materials, creates tremendous opportunities, for example self cleaning surface capabilities, of concrete, ceramic, glass and other materials. The first application of selfcleaning concrete took place in the church ''Dives in Misericordi'' in Rome (Italy) in 2003. 6 years after construction revealed only slightly differences in concrete colour (!)

I have decided to make my final disertation of 7th semester in conncetion with subject of Bioclimatic arhcitecture, which explains Building that takes into account climate and environmental conditions in order to achieve the best thermal comfort inside. This topic could be especially related to a new modern multi storey building development.

There are 3 blocks on the plot, with 7 apartments in each one. In each house has 3 different layout of apartment: 81,4m², 96,3 m² and 154,4 m². It was designed for families between 2 and 5 persons.

... Being Constructing Architect means more!
Wooden roof
During my 3 years studies till now I have learnt that my responsibility as Constructing Architect involves wide range of duties. One of my specialization field in this profession is capability to solve technical construction details. For example, already after 2 years of studying ''
Architectural Technology and Constructing Management'' I have Instalation section
a chance to obtain profession as ''Building Technician''

I have high expectations from future. I believe our generation can make visible impact on development of sustainable life. There is no other way than to finally find out how to live in balance with surrounding environment. Future building should be a part of living organism, not just existing as a ''dead thing'' - that’s already yesterday. We are moving towards greater future of tomorrow! Conceptual theories and prophecies of construction for a better life of human kind and nature will be carried out significantly more and:
we - architects - are working engine of this vision! Questions? Comments? Feel free to contact me directlty at: aijabauman@gmail.com
