01 academic work / research & design 2019 Eindhoven, The Netherlands
The final Graduation Project for the master studies consisted of a research study followed by a design to test out the results obtained from the research. As the topic of the studio was the house of tomorrow, my main research topic was cohousing as a solution to urban density, lack of space and social isolation. The study aimed to find methods of incorporating flexible housing design with cohousing design to provide stable and longer lasting communities, with emphasis on collective spaces. The design concept was to have a spatial organization in which a central collective space was surrounded by private apartments. Flexible housing was introduced by providing free spaces that would separate the apartments in each floor. This provided opportunities for future change of apartments as well as different social uses for the community members. Placing them around a core helped establish visual connection with central circulation areas that could look into each other among different levels. 2 Academic Work

TECTONIC EXERCISES project type year place
02
academic work / design 2017 Eindhoven, The Netherlands
This masterproject consisted of three stages. In the first stage we had to choose an existing design and analyse its tectonic qualities by preparing models each week. For the second stage we were asked to combine our tectonic knowledge in a model made of sand, wood and metal. In my model I try to represent the contrasting nature of the heavy earthwork element, sand, and the light framework, wood. The elements are dependent on each other in terms of their shapes and connections. Final stage of the project was the design of a library based on the tectonic principles learned in previous exercises. The focus was mainly on the tectonic concept and properties at a smaller scale, therefore we weren’t required to come up with a fully resolved design. In my design I emphasize the heaviness of the earthwork by using a sculpture like concrete base. This element is shaped by the context, level differences, river, trees and also by several design elements like the bookshelves, seating areas and columnar bases. The repetitive timber columns contrast the concrete floor with the lightweight appearance and the connections between the floor and the ceiling further emphasize that, following a rhytm similar to that of the tectonic model. 10 Academic Work

WESTON DANCE INSTITUTE project type year place
03
academic work / design 2015 Weston-super-Mare, UK
The brief of the project is to design a dance school in the neglected seaside town Weston-super-Mare as part of the Weston College, supporting higher education. The school will act both as a cultural venue for locals and tourists, contributing to the cultural revival of the town and also as a source of understanding bodily motion. The idea of the design is to express dance theory concepts of movement, body and space in an architectural form. Circulation spaces of both levels of the building suggest movement both in vertical and horizontal direction with ramps and curved facade forms. The exterior performance area and the auditorium space on the ground level become the core of the building, surrounded by the circulation areas and the other spaces. Dance studios at upper level follow a rotated grid to get best views of the town. 14 Academic Work

FILM INSTITUTE project type year place
04 academic work / group design 2014 Bath, UK
This project was part of the Basil Spence Competition that required all final year architecture students to join as groups with civil engineers. We were asked to design a film institute that involved 3 cinemas, exhibition areas, restaurants and cafes that can be both used for educational purposes and film festivals in Bath. Creating a design that involves both an architectural and an engineering approach in terms of resolving the problems was the aim of the competition. The design was driven by the idea of the site conditions carving the form of the building, resulting in three different volumes with a cinema in each. First volume is a double storey form with the largest cinema, whereas the other two are 5 and 7 storey high towers containing additional spaces. 22 Academic Work

DETAIL CONSTRUCTION project type year place
05
academic work / construction workshop 2017 Eindhoven, The Netherlands
This workshop was about analysing and understanding the construction sequence and materiality of a chosen small scale building in depth in groups of four students. The challenge was to redesign the detail of a selected part of the building and then to make a 1:1 construction model of it. We have chosen a lodge in Arnhem by MVRDV. The idea of the original design is to have a sculptural object with the timber cladding continuing throughout the whole building. To integrate that idea into our design and to eliminate the weathering of the timber cladding we decided to use green cladding. As another challenge of the workshop was to design and build a model that could also be easily demountable and mostly reusable, the new design had timber frame structure. 28 Workshop

academic work / concrete workshop 2017 Eindhoven, The Netherlands
This concrete workshop involved the analysis of the works of Swiss architecture firm Christ & Gantenbein and then designing and building a complete chess set inspired by their work. It was concerned about acquiring a good understanding of the qualities of concrete as a building material. I participated in the organisation of the study trip to Switzerland. We also prepared gypsum study molds and models to understand material properties. The main challenge of the workshop was to design chess pieces that were quite big but also light enough to be carried around whilst being played. Hence, designing shapes that had optimal volumes and designing their molds were of great importance. 30 Workshop

extracurricular activity / design workshop 2015 Westonbirt, UK
The brief of the workshop was to design a temporary woodland house that will act as an attraction point for visitors of all age in Westonbirt Arboretum, also contributing to the experience and education that you get out of the forest. The challenge was to come up with a buildable design in one day. We worked in several design teams and after presenting the designs we built the design that was chosen by the client. The main idea of the design is to have viewing points for the visitors and to make the kids enjoy the experience as well as the adults by creating playful activities with the structure of the pavilion. The wood used for the structure, cladding and weaving, ash and oak, was supplied from the Westonbirt Arboretum. 32 Workshop

extracurricular activity / construction workshop 2014 Madrid, Spain
The aim of the workshop was to build one part of a gothic vault to real scale. Each student was required to carve a block of the vault out of plaster. The challenge was to understand the complicated geometry of each piece, carve it as precisely as possible and to understand the geometry of the vault and how pieces come together. We were then asked to model the vault in 3D in order to demonstrate our understanding of the geometry and the building process. 34 Workshop

10 professional work experience 2014 Vardø, Norway
The architecture firm that I worked in is specialised in birds and birdwatching and uses architecture as a tool to protect birds, wildlife and nature. The work mainly involves design and building of birdhides and photohides. They also work on various other types of projects including house refurbishments, destination development studies, exhibitions, workshops, nature trails and outdoor amphitheatres. My work there involved designing the exhibition panels for promoting wildlife in Varanger, helping to build one of the birdhides, building a photohide, helping the design of a new house extension, preparing physical models of the already built birdhides for an exhibition. 38 Professional Work
