ARCHITECTURE FOR LIFE Phenomenology Critical Regionalism Heterotopia
I am a student interested in the symbiosis of critical regionalism and phenomenology. Places for interaction of human beings can help balance the trauma of hiding in heterotopia. I am using architecture as a tool to address social issues and the challenges society faces on a global scale.

APPROACH
The German Salt Museum located in Lüneburg, is in desperate need of a new building. The site has historic significance as the foundations of a church are still present. The former structure had to be reinterpreted, while the new building should reflect what the museum is about. The result of the design process is a large salt crystal hovering above a public park. In the park the historic footprint is abstracted for seating and for spatial reinterpretation of the former space.

LOWER MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY
CULTURAL CENTRE
The new Cultural Centre is intended to elevate the culture of Chinese in America. On six floors, exhibition spaces, auditoriums and assembly spaces provide more space for the existing organisation. The building is made higher so that public green space can be given back to New Yorkers. The base is formed by local brownstone, while the triangulated facade is in the spirit of ancient Chinese porcelain with modern elements and Feng Shui influences.

CONVERTING ALICANTE: THE CITY AND THE WATER
WATERFRONT URBAN MASTERPLAN DESIGN PROJECT
CONVERTING ALICANTE MASTERPLAN
The Leaf is an urban design masterplan for a former industrial park in the Spanish coastal region of Costa Blanca. The location on the waterfront, south of Alicante, makes the site attractive for residential development. The design process follows the idea of biomimicry and uses nature as the main source of inspiration. The network of roads and walkways is characteristic for the design, as it takes the pattern of a foliage leaf through several stages of abstraction and interpretation. Just like in nature, the new city should have equal distribution of resources and allow for unobstructed yet directed circulation. The main focus of the design is the distinction and interweaving of public space and private green spaces, as well as the orchestrated relationship between the city and the water. Each building block is a unique part of the greater whole, in many ways representing a cell in the context of the city / organism. The tesselate distribution of building blocks, allows for flexible arrangement of highpoint structures, generating identity and a network of relationships and vistas. Along the spine of the city, a central park is located. This green open space defines the design and creates favourable addresses. Find the entire thesis on ISSUU.

Westbrook Village is located in West Hartford, Connecticut and currently consists of mostly abandoned low income, section 8 housing. The city would like to have the property redeveloped to address the needs of three residential group: graduate students, 55+, and single parents. Each of these residents has various housing considerations, required necessities, and shared community amenities. The great potential of this development is to not only provide affordable housing, but also an intentional community. The aim is to create a community as diverse as possible. The whole masterplan is laid-out to increase the potential for social interaction. A tribal structure is established to create a sense of community. Circulation is placed for optimum ‚collision‘, enhancing interaction between people. West Hartford is severely deprived of public transportation. A light rail could easily be implemented on existing train tracks along the city, connecting the development to nearby towns, downtown Hartford and the airport. The new mode of transportation would bring mobility to those who might not own a car or want to live more sustainable. The development has a commercial hub in its centre, providing jobs for the town and minimising the need of residents to own cars. Housing is organized as a cluster of courtyards with a communal activity facility in the centre. Connections to the surrounding neighbourhoods and adjacent Park River are an integral part of the design and elevate the region’s future prospect

A LIBRARY AT RAILWAY SQUARE IN CENTRAL SYDNEY EXCHANGE PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (UTS)
SYDNEY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Railway Square is one of Sydney‘s most important bus hubs, as it connects directly to the trains at central station. In addition to the large number of commuters, the site is triangular and surrounded by two main roads. A new library is to be built on the site, while maintaining its function as a bus hub. In such an exposed location it is a challenge to ensure relative silence required for the library programme. In order to create a threshold between the two extremes of inside and outside, the building is surrounded by a curtain. Outside the thermal envelope, there is a second layer primarily dedicated to dampening stimuli pouring in from the outside. Ideally, the curtain is supposed to feel like the canopy of a tree, obstructing the view, while playfully allowing light to come into the building.

The metaphor of the tree is abstracted but reappears in the structure and formal layout of the building. Two buildings grow apart from each other like a tree trunk separating into two. Bridges connect the parts like branches and the curtain wraps the building like the canopy would. The main structure of the building is also inspired by the tree, as wooden pillars form a “forest of columns”.

For enhanced natural lighting within the building, a central atrium was integrated, which also strengthens the threshold between city and library. It is intended to feel like stepping into an alternate reality: from busy city to peaceful oasis. A garden on the roof and balconies is forming a public park among the skyscrapers. 1:200

REBUILDING CIVILISATION | HOOVER DAM, NEVADA CONCEPTUAL RESPONSE TO A GLOBAL CRISIS EXCHANGE PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
EDEN AT HOOVER DAM
EDEN
The project is a conceptual response to re-establishing civilization after a global disaster. It is not a design proposal, but rather a theoretical experiment of what people might build, if faced with the collapse of society as we know it. It explores the architecture premise of heterotopia and the idea of utopia for the few and dystopia for the many.
_SECTION
_PUBLIC BUILDINGS
_CIRCULATION
_WATER DISTRIBUTION
After a global war, survivors need water and electricity to rebuild civilization. They gather at the intersection of the two: Hoover Dam USA. Terraces are cut into the mountain faces for food production, inspired by Machu Picchu. Additional food is harvested around oating villages on adjacent Lake Mead. Fish are cultivated, and nutritious freshwater seaweed is farmed. Dwellers utilize the techniques of Native American Anastasi tribes, who originally inhabited the land. Additional High-Tec materials are salvaged from the ruins of Las Vegas. Knowledge becomes very precious, and a large library is part of project where salvaged books and other sources of information are collected and preserved. Circulation occurs primarily through existingservice tunnels inside the dam and is purposefully designed that way to minimize the impact of possibly harsh climatic conditions after the global war. The new civilization has a spiritual connection to water. Water is the source of everything: Life, electricity, food, purification and adiabatic cooling in a desert environment. The largest of the public buildings is a prayer hall devoted to water. The entire formal layout and program of the project is inspired by an interpretation of Buddhism, found in Bhutan and Tibet.

TRAVEMÜNDE
Hampton
As the field of architecture is becoming increasingly reliant of computers, it is vital to learn certain software. It has been my focus to establish a broad base of skills. I am exploring different design and rendering software, including V-Ray and Lumion, Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Rhino and others.
CONSULTING WORK
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
HISTORICAL RESEARCH WORK
PHOTOGRAPHY
While studying at university, I repeatedly had the opportunity to do consulting work. Often in the field of architecture, but also as an art director for a charity foundation or creative consultant for a local publishing house. The latest projects are related to spatial requirements of Airbnb apartments.
Beginning with historical investigations in high school, my focus has often shifted to the historical development of buildings. Be it the shift from craftsmanship towards industrial production or the shifting ideology surrounding historic preservation. Numerous papers have been created over the years, some of which are published.
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
As part of my International Baccalaureate CAS programme, I went to Uganda to work in an orphanage and collect data for Stiftung Kinder in Afrika, a charity organisation dedicated to providing education for children in Africa. I have been part of the advisory committee for the organisation for several years. PORTFOLIO | 20
SOFTWARE SKILLS
An international outlook has been a focus of my life for a long time. Travelling is an integral part of my identity and I have studied abroad in Australia and the United States for a total of three years. In the future I will continue to broaden my horizon in order to keep up with globalisation and the change of society. During all of my travels and at university photography has been essential to my development. Capturing ideas, spaces and memories is a great skill and asset. The most important aspect concerning the architecture is the ability to capture the essence of a space, because photographs will never fully capture the whole space.
EDITING AND TRANSLATION
During my time studying at Hochschule Wismar, I was employed as a student assistant for translation and editing of English texts. The main project was a publication for the Expo in Milan 2016. I later went on to work for a translation agency and am now translating important documents for my current employer.
ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE
CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE
Architecture does not only consist of the design process, but also of the construction side. During internships on a construction site and in project management, skills were acquired and utilized in private built work. So far multiple renovation and remodels have been planned and executed by me.
AWARDS
1st Prize
1st Prize at HOME design competition for the Lake House
INTERNSHIP IN AUSTRALIA
During my stay in Australia, I had the privilege to work at RAW Architects in Sydney for a period of three months. My responsibilities covered several fields, mostly in research and design of numerous residential projects. I also helped create a competition entry and was in charge of the sample library. I also acquired software skills.
2nd Prize at Hartford Beaux-Arts Ball for the Mosque
INTERNSHIP IN GERMANY
by trapez
As a voluntary internship, I worked at Trapez Architektur in Hamburg for one semester. The firm is focussed on designing and building schools and train stations. During my internship I was part of all the phases in a project and gained experiences in pricing and the tendering process. I was able to visit sites frequently.
FABRICATION LAB ASSISTANT
During my exchange at the University of Hartford, I was employed by the fabrication lab. I gained experiences in 3D Printing and handling laser cutters. Part of the job was supervision and consultation to students who were building models for their architecture, art and engineering projects.
As part of an international design competitions held between architecture schools in the US and Europe. It was the task to design a 60 sqm home for yourself in a location of you choosing. I designed this lake house in my home town in Germany. The home is inspired by local architecture, but also by historic farms in South Africa. The semi permeable screen projects the building and ensures privacy, but is also movable so the user can let nature in. During a conference all submissions were viewed and explained.
