In nowadays architectureand technology should go
''hand in hand''
I think architecture is combination ofall the great subjects of inform ation:
art, mathematics, physics,etc.
I consider myself as an artisticperson. I think you can find art in
everything.
Every building has to have meaning of shape and appearance

I am very fascinated about connection between architecture and nature.
How golden ratio and architecture of natural
plants appears from ancient architecture till being integrated in new building construction
and urban plans all over the world.
Nature is an example of how we should build, as we are part of nature.
BIM
BIM I am sure; today's architects wouldn’t be imaginable without knowledge of Building Information Modelling.
IT has become part of daily routine for modern Architect.

And while some programs are more recognizable in Europe, or specifically Denmark, others are worldwide used. Still most of them represent the same goals reach by different ways, outstand with different quality.
BIMaija baumane Knowlege (Refferece & level: CV)
@Constructing Architect education includes three main fields: architecture (1) engeneering (2) and project management (3) ,we are being tought many diferent programs to describe, for example, building cost, building site planning and managment, sustainability profits, building statical analysis, best material choices, design and layout presentation, and many, many other aspects of building in process of its creation and life assessment createria evaluation.
we use Revit architecture as main BIM program, however as my

Elective Self Study Report:''Alternative building construction in Denmark''
Only one''house for life'' in Denmark, Lystrup,
one of few in the whole world- this house is part of Model Home 2020 project by company VELUX and it has a strategy of taking active part in developing sustainable buildings of the future, designed to synthesise a perfect balance of energy efficiency, indoor climate, architecture and leading cleantech solutions.
Passive house is a simple construction system based on five basic principles: super insulated, airtight, mechanical ventilation, three pane glazing and minimal thermal bridge effects.
During my 3th semester I was writing a compulsory research report on self chosen topic. I was investigating zero energy houses, passive houses and other alternative building construction.
Passive houses are specially popular in Scandinavian
countries with cold climate, however, in my opinion, some systems can be revised and used to control internal ventilation and heat, therefore applied in building industry at hot climate zones as well.

Elective Self Study Report:''Nanotechnology in building construction''
Dissertation thesis on subject:''Bio-climatic skyscraper of Dalian, China''
UPCOMING!
During my 4th semester I chose to write about Nanotechnology applied to building materials.
This report shows an investigation of a new technology - nanotechnology, reviling a lot of amazing inventions many different type of building construction materials, like: insulations; coverings; coatings; roofing and structural materials; concrete; steel ; wood and others.
Self cleaning concrete, ceramic tiles and window glass!
Nanotechnology, when applied to building materials, creates tremendous opportunities, for example self cleaning surface capabilities, of concrete, ceramic, glass and other materials.
The first application of self-cleaning concrete took place in the church ''Dives in Misericordi'' in Rome (Italy) in 2003. 6 years after construction revealed only slightly differences in concrete colour (!)
Insight into 7th semester
I have decided to make my final disertation of 7th semester in conncetion with subject of Bio-climatic arhcitecture, which explains Building that takes into account climate and environmental conditions in order to achieve the best thermal comfort inside. This topic could be especially related to a new modern multi storey building development.

North facade
There are 3 blocks on the plot, with 7 apartments in each one. In each house has 3 different layout of
apartment: 81,4m², 96,3
m² and 154,4 m². It was designed for families between 2 and 5 persons.
Construction is concrete, with wooden penthouse on the top.Client: governmentFunction: Residental buildings

There were established new bay windows on North facade, for every other apartment, creating nice view to surrounding environment.

West gable had lost its statical capabilities, there for it was demolished, and our solution was to strengthen it,
moreover integrate into design a vertical green garden!

... Being Constructing Architect means more!
During my 3 years studies till now I have learnt that my responsibility as Constructing Architect involves wide range of duties. One of my specialization field in this profession is capability to solve technical construction details. For example, already after 2 years of studying '' Architectural Technology and Constructing Management'' I have a chance to obtain profession as ''Building Technician''

Thank You for Your attention!
I have high expectations from future. I believe our generation can make visible impact on development of sustainable life. There is no other way than to finally find out how to live in balance with surrounding environment.
Future building should be a part of living organism, not just existing as a ''dead thing'' - that’s already yesterday. We are moving towards greater future of tomorrow!
Conceptual theories and prophecies of construction for a better life of human kind and nature will be carried out significantly more and:
we - architects - are working engine of this vision!
