M y i n t e r e s t i n architecture began from a very young a g e b y r e a d i n g various architectural m a g a z i n e s . E v e r since, architecture has become a part of my life and the well-defined focus of my further studies.

My achievements up to now have a l w a y s p u s h e d me to aim higher and I never lose my motivation. I am interested in a vast variety of architectural issues, starting from the relationship between architectural design a n d l a n d s c a p e architecture, from traditional concepts to utopia.

Objective:

I am current student at the AA School o f A r c h i t e c t u r e , London; look ing to progress into a higher stage within t h e a rc h i te c t u re and design sector. T h e r e f o r e , I a m s e e k i n g f o r a new and suitably chal lenging role within architecture-leading organisation and I am keen to a c h i e v e f u r t h e r p r o f e s s i o n a l development.

Project name: Urban/Interior Labyrinth

Location: Passage Verdeau, Paris

The project examines the domestic,

public and private spaces that we inhabit

and our perception of the boundaries,

these spaces represent and impose.

Life in a city and life in a building are

experienced through urban/interior

corridor paths from one scene to the

next. The focus is placed on constructing

a sequence of spatial experiences. The

modern perception is a montage of

rapidly evolving experiences which blur

the distinction between the urban and the

interior. A space is not only defined by its

enclosures, but also implied by a second

layer of a more ephemeral “texture”.

The experience oscillates between the

urban and interior to support a fusion of

realities and perceptions. This creates an

inseparable ambiguity between the house

and the city - the domestic and the urban.

The “IDEAL” Urban Room

Location: 13 Lincoln‘s Inn Fields, London

“Soane...contrived vistas from his interiors,

only he was not content with the

alignment of doors. He also layered space,

so that the eye was no longer constrained

into a telescopic recession of portals

and could wander wide, up, across and

through from one place to another... when

characteristically Sonian vistas occurred,

they did so most often in circulation space

or out of the windows, not in occupied

space.” - Robin Evans

Project name:

Physical vs. Implied Boundaries

Location: Vatican

The project examines the domestic,

public and private spaces of the border

between Rome and Vatican. It creates a

new link between the domestic buildings

on the Vatican and the intersection of the

border wall, by dissolving its physicality

and connecting it to the urban street level

of Rome. By segmenting the appearance

of the wall, a new reading of space is

introduced, allowing urban interior

perceptions and glimpses to otherwise

hided spaces. The structure establishes

a different kind of interaction between

individuals, built space and movement.

The facets of each glass panes reflect the

place and reconstruct a paradigm that

breaks the reading of the course. The

structure invites the visitor to step inside,

exposing him to collided images of details,

intimacy and outside spatiality.

Project name:

Artificial Urban Slope

Location: Jebel Hafeet, UAE

The project is located on Jebel Hafeet, the

only mountain topography found in the

UAE. The mountain is an important symbol

of the country, but now it remains static.

The challenge was to propose a rather

more sustainable and ecological project

for the mountain, which in fact is making

the most use of the natural landscape,

instead of destroying it completely.

Project name:

Artificial Urban Slope

Location: Jebel Hafeet, UAE

The project is addressing the problems

of localised ground discontinuity and

programmatic, physical isolation of the

site. It proposes a network of slopes

integrated with housing, commercial &

recreational zones. The aim is to create

relationships between infrastructural

flows and architectural space by forming

a new ground condition, driven by the

site topography.

Project name:

Super Block

Location: N/A

This projec t i s focus ing on the

manipulation of digital geometry using

scripted techniques within a NURBS

modelling environment, using Python

for Rhino. Covering the basics behind the

theory of computation and processing as a

means to establish intelligent geometrical

systems, the project’s aim is to generate

a “Super Block“ with various spatial

organizations on a plan level, hence,

providing different types of units within

the dwelling. The rather chaotic interior of

the super block is combined with facade

components allowing different openings

and entrances to the building.

Designing Through Painting

Whi lst recognis ing the value of

contemporary software, I argue that

the lust for line is not dead, that a basic

understanding of traditional drawing

and painting methods can be fused

with contemporary 3D packages to

quickly and efficiently create new and

innovative spatial ideas, sequences and

large scale narratives. Ideas are siphoned

through various software, techniques

and projections - gradually aggregating

into the fi nal vision, though experimental

brushwork, orthographic painting, 3D

modelling, value sketching, and digital

overlaying.
