I am a Part 1 graduate from the University of Liverpool willing to begin my adventure within architectural practice. During my studying, I worked on many projects relating to communities. For my final year, I chose a studio that was concentrated on community buildings. Additionally, I worked for 1.5 months in small practice adapting an old building into a house, designing a bar or preparing concepts for an outdoor school’s facilities. I had an opportunity to visit the site during the construction process. Also, I run an inventory of buildings. As a creative and open person, I do not see an obstacle in being engaged in any kind of project. I love discovering the shadows of architecture. Its multidisciplinary fascinates me since my versatile knowledge allows me to easily find connections between various fields. Inside me, there is an artistic soul that cannot stay silenced. That makes me an observant and sensitive person, who notices beauty even in tiny things. Thus, I am expecting to grow my seed of creativeness and come back with fruit with your practice.
The main aim of the project was to design a community centre with the main theme of food. My proposition was focused on creating a place where people can widen their knowledge about the zero waste cycle and adapted this way of living. This cycle were explored through the concept of the courtyard and accessible connection around the building complex. The colour palette is inspired by the nature and the surrounding trees with their small fruits.

The Red Triangle is Karate Club in Liverpool. The site was surrounded by derelict buildings. The project aimed to design a low-budget building for temporary usage. The proposal acts upon the sustainability aspect through the concept of modular architecture. The whole structure is made out of timber. It is compact and easy to assemble as well as dismantle. It is made for the community with the intention of DIY structure.

11 DESIGN OF WALL MODULE
The wall module is made of plywood. It is easy to assemble. The building is intended to be done by the community themselves with a minor help of architect. The variety of arrangements and the flexibility of modules is beneficial for the community in case of possible changes or need of extra space in the future. The manipulation of module is infinite and it also can be used as a part of the floor or ceiling or as shelves.

The project’s brief contains a task about adapting the old modernist building on the UoL campus into the manufacture of a selected object. Suggested by the needs of a typical student I chose a pillow for the production. The whole project is based on the sleep theme, where the interior is meticulously designed to form the part of the journey toward sleep. A soft interior with organic walls welcomes everyone to fall into the arms of Morpheus.

CONCEPT MODEL
The brief of the project was to design the art museum on Tempest Hey Street in Liverpool. The project was implemented in stages. My inspiration was the artist Cornelia Parker and the Jewish Museum in Berlin designed by Libeskind. My guiding idea was the issue of deconstructivism. The shape itself intuitively forces the direction of visiting the museum. The shape of this building can be treated as a work of art itself.
