ABOUT ME
As an architecture student and a freelance dancer, I consider myself to be someone who is capable of synthesizing different aspects of my responsibilities and multitask as I work with them.

SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE SENSO-REALITA*
The project focuses on the regeneration of a school building as well as enhancing the surrounding community space in order to lift the neighbourhood up and make it suitable for a primary school. The area in which the school district is located is a potential center of interaction. Therefore the school project aims to create a direct conneciton from the nearby Piazza Tripoli into the project space whilst still embedding itself to the urban space.
The school building is designed to enable a secluded community where the children can feel safe from the heavy noise and motion of the city. The courtyard aims to reach a sense of “feeling” of the whole space, prioritizing attention to the sounds and the smells around the city which is a major identifier in the creation of the landscape of the piazza.

The journey from the courtyard to the public space requires a smooth transition, adided by the shared street and the park design that extends till the interconnected pathways. Thereby enabling a fluid flux and community spaces for the pedestrians.

OLYMPIC VILLAGE IN MILAN
EXPLORING HOUSING THROUGH COURTYARDS
The project proposes a temporary accommodation for the contestants and their families during the 2026 Olympics which will be held in Milan. The goal is to create a housing space that includes the specified functions while enabling housing for 200 people. In addition, the project will remain after the events and be utilized as a dormitory for students in Milan.
Our proposal includes the refurbishment of the landscape and a variation of room modules that aim to facilitate the flux of necessary functions. The design consists of 3 main courtyards, each with a particular color: Red one in brick, creating a warm and secluded space; blue highlighting the health facilities on the ground floor in addition to water functions while the green one to connect with the surrounding natural environment. By creating modular and connected courtyards, the goal is to create a private neighborhood that also reflects the courtyard typology of Milanese architecture.

The structural focal point of the project was the use of “rammed earth” instead of concrete in order to take a sustainable approach. This material enabled a density as strong as any other alternative while being eco-friendly for such massive building spaces.

UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN SARAJEVO 3
The campus project consists of three stages of architectural development. First one being the conceptual phase where the relationship with the environment and the historical value of Sarajevo is analyzed. The second phase is urban, in which the goal is to recreate the project site into a useable campus environment.
Our proposal enables a grid structure that the public flux is arranged within, hence the modular timber pillars and beams that hold the roof structures are arranged accordingly, creating a continuous pathway. The roofs have massive impact on the urban outlay, creating courtyards that aim to generate community areas for specific educational units.

OF WATER PLANT
The project area is a facility of a water plant from the 1930s that consists of a hangar, the plant itself and the landscape around it. The focus is on repurposing the space into into an interactive space that could be allegible for exhibitons, events or any public community.
The concept revolves around the preseravation of symmetry, hence the rigid industial structure is highligted through punctual implifications of fabric, deriving from the contrast created by the combination of dry-assambled / linked elements with the fluid nature of different types of fabric.
On another aspect, the surrounding landscape and the building in which the water plant activates from consist of urban elements that are engraved into the structures, shaping around the aşready existing environment compansate the idea of contrast, enabling a welcoming public space.
