Tell us more about yourself and your profession.
I see myself as an architect, computational designer, and visioner. I have a computational design background and believe that using cutting-edge technology is the right approach to solving problems and finding design opportunities.
When and why did you choose to become an architect?
At school, I was an ambitious creative mind and wanted this to evolve furthermore in my professional career. I chose architecture because I admire the idea of inventing new things and exploring new possibilities.
Do you have a dream project or your favourite project?
I have always wanted to design a significant public building that brings people together, provides space for shared activities and human interactions, outdoor and indoor spaces combined into a sequence of social spaces. For instance, this might be a stadium or opera/concert house, museum, and so on.
What skills have served you best in your architecture career?
I would say that my self-motivation, strong ambition, and eagerness to learn are the skills that pushed me through my career. Of course, there are many other design, managerial skills, and tools that one has to learn to be successful in the field of architecture, but all of these are consequences.
Who is your favourite architect and why?
There are many great names who shaped the architecture and I admire all of them. Most influential to me are the works of Antoni Gaudi and Zaha Hadid. Their desire to cross the boundaries of the ordinary and explore new ideas and agendas are significant steps of the evolution or maybe even revolution of architecture.
Do you have any tips for people who want to join this field?
Yes, I would say be eager to learn, not afraid to explore new ideas, be ambitious and improve yourself every day.
What does your typical workday look like?
It starts early in the morning with my daily workout. Then after responding to the emails in my inbox I have my productive hours for design explorations or learning new skills. Usually afternoon I have meetings and discussions with the other team members where we brainstorming and discuss ideas. The day ends with implementing some of these ideas into the design process.
