Type : Multifunctional Pavilion
Location: Kazimerz District, Cracow, Poland
Hereditatem memoria - hereditary memory, which Szeroka Street has demonstrated by prospering and significantly extending its Jewish population while firmly rooted in the Kazimierz District. As future architects, we must preserve the city’s neglected areas, especially those that seem unnoticed, given that history links parties to their enclaves. Architects have more incentive to create a sustainable urban area that honors the city’s rich and forgotten history. The Pavilion on Szeroka Street adapts to its heritage without being separate from the street.
An essential element of the renovation is the Jewish historical art exhibition, which was housed in the pavilion’s underground section, with one main building and an exit at the end, where the synagogue is located. With this decision, open space on the surface was granted, providing people with a path and a night attraction, thanks to the illuminated pyramids. All three primary concepts have been implemented, including the addition of vegetation and minor improvements.

Type : Revitilization of Rural Areas
Location: Piekary Village, Cracow, Poland
It being a very traditional village located relatively far away from urban areas, Piekary is one of many places in Poland that adhere to their old customs. An agricultural compressed terrain, such as this one, values its origianl architype, slowly keeping up with contemporary designs. One of many solutions was to integrate the old with the new with a particularly assimilating public function which combines both standards. A local brewery and destillery was the most optimal choice in this area, utlilizing both wood and steel construction.
Tight streets and houses near the main road make this neighborhood feel claustrophobic.
The nearby woodlands are fragmented into many small enclaves around the settlement, resulting in a minority of flora and little variation.
Piekary's Villa, whose owner is unknown, is an intriguing remnant.

The walled village preserves the natural landscape for future generations. The community provides security and tranquility by protecting the woods and fields. Agriculture benefits from the village's Vestula River location. The village's school and recreation center are nearby, making them accessible to residents despite its small size.
In this region, there are opportunities for the reconstruction and renovation of historic buildings, as well as the promotion of agricultural tourism. The plan also involves the construction of roads, sidewalks, and parking lots, with careful consideration given to the concerns of the local residents to ensure minimal disruption.
vehicle density
road exits
The village's buildings lack sufficient parking space and visible sidewalks or main roads, due to its history and current condition. Moreover, its remote location, combined with very little public transportation, creates limited accessibility as it is quite distant from the city. The lax construction regulations have led to various problems and difficulties on the construction sites.
This region is exposed to obvious dangers, such as a disparity in the architectural styles of the wealthy and the poor housing it contains. Since the economy went into a tailspin, agriculture and home improvement have also undergone significant shifts. The proliferation of suburbs has made the region's problems even worse.

Type : Family Housing & Nursery
Location: Piekary Village, Cracow, Poland
The Piekary site has significant potential, benefiting from the surrounding environment and neighboring home design. Traditional building styles, such as pitched roofs and greenery, are in accordance with the village’s concept. The sloping nature of the land was utilized, taking advantage of its southern sun orientation, and allowing partial underground construction to protect the area. The design, influenced by traditional Scandinavian architecture, incorporates modern construction methods with wood and concrete. The family housing also includes a public nursery.
A built-in structure that provides visitors with a modest place for children to stay and unwind. Additionally, the upper roof garden is open to everyone at all times.
The front yard is designed to accommodate a sufficient number of vehicles for public and family guests. Despite this expansive parking lot, presidents have access to a two-car private garage.
The family home has a titanium zync roof that prevents corrosion and requires minimal maintenance. It is a self-healing material with integrated photovoltaic panels that provides an alternative energy source for the hosts.
The recreation area that utilizes the slope as a pit is an exclusive feature of the family housing, preventing any view obstruction from the house and providing a pleasant space to relax.
The nursery boasts a design that incorporates both skylights and a glass facade. This unique combination allows for an abundance of natural light to filter into the space, without the need for artificial lighting. The innovative approach was particularly important as the nursery is located within a hill, making it challenging to access natural light. With this design, the nursery creates a bright and welcoming environment that promotes a healthy and stimulating atmosphere for children to grow and develop in.

Type : Urban design of residential complexes & community center
Location: Covilha, Portugal
The Covilha Residential Complex and Community Library is a sustainable urban development strategically situated on a sloping site in Covilha, Portugal. The mid-rise buildings offer stunning views and optimal south orientation. The central courtyard fosters community and the ground floor features a modern community library and café. This desirable solution of such development is a prime living environment for residents.
As part of the curriculum and as students, we were required to delve into technical plans and our own projects in order to confront the realistic and practical aspects of contemporary design. Throughout our studies, we were required to create our own technical drawings for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, among others. We learned how to use industry-standard software and tools to create accurate and comprehensive building plans that adhere to applicable codes and regulations.
In this section of my portfolio, I’ve included a selection of my finest technical drawings from my academic career. These drawings demonstrate my proficiency in designing both functional and aesthetically pleasing technical plans. I am proud of the skills I have acquired through my education so far and am excited to apply them in my future career as an architect.
