About

“I am interested in design and its role as social, economic and cultural contributor to the urban environment. I have been enhancing my architectural background with studies in urban planning and real estate development to be able to promote more exciting and more diverse cities. I am especially interested in creative building processes with scarce resources and the design of exciting affordable housing and public buildings.”
