7th SEMESTER
AARHUS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
BACHELOR’S PROJECT DURING 7th SEMESTER
Tasks: Analysis of existing Outline Proposal, Project Proposal, Planning & Budget, Fire Plans, Construction Project (Specialization Walkable Green Roof)
The Aarhus School of Architecture is based on an existing outline proposal reshaped and remodeled to meet the Danish building standards and construction requirements,suchasthermal,statics,fire,ventilation, etc. It has a square meter coverage of 14.000 and accommodates up to 1000 students. Structural elements are made from mass timber to add to the sustainable practices of this project, additionally utilizing LCCandLCAcalculations. Thecomplexdesign of the facade gives this project a final outlook that matches the purpose of the architecture school.
FOCUS AREAS: Project Management, Building Construction Requirements, Fire Prevention/Safety, Building Energy Frame, Sustainability
The final assignment is based on my bachelor’s thesis with the topic of visual programming that I successfully completed prior. The use of visual programming established whether it made the process more efficient.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
1 YEAR INTERNSHIP IN AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM
“Dream House” designed during my architectural internship.
ARCHITECTURAL INTERNSHIP AT “D + P ARCHITEKTEN”
During my internship, I acquired plenty of practical knowledge from my supervisor, which made me pursue a career in the building industry.
Being by his side frequently, I gained experience in Microstation V8i, Sketchup, Photoshop, and tendering software. I was present during Client meetings, construction site visits, and managed customer inquiries.
By the end of my internship, I was hired to work part-time in the office before starting my studies.
Proposed design of railings for a client. Although the client chose the first design, the intended project was never finalized due to financial reasons.
