ABOUT
I am a young architect. This is a booklet presenting a selection of my recent work. I have been busy with the problematics of contemporary urban habitat. I have contributed to projects addressing all scales of urban issues - from strategic and policy planning, thorugh architectural design and placemaking, to urban interventions and design. Since 2012 I have been part of an architectural association dealing with public space and urban design, active in Sofia, Bulgaria. Together with the University of Architecture (Sofia), we have founded a laboratory cluster: a fabrication lab with a workshop/ event venue. I have been part of the core team, developing the cluster, as well as association’s initiatives and projects. In September 2016, I was accepted as a post-graduate research student in the Tsukamoto Lab (Atelier Bow-Wow) of Tokyo Institute of Technology, starting in April 2017. I found that moment suitable to take a step sideways and to broaden my experience. I have resigned my commitments at the Lab and have been freelancing, working with various collectives, looking for challenges to embrace until my departure for Tokyo.
