A Bit About Me

I have recently graduated from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and my graduation project, Explicating Privacy, was exhibited in Archiprix 2022, IABR22 Future Generation: This Is 2072, and Archined. Based on my Master's Thesis, my project, (Un)Private Life, was exhibited in Nieuwe Instituut. 

​

I am enthusiastic about a kind of architecture that passes the borders of conventionality; a medium that can address ideas, issues, and daily human struggles by playing the edge of the fields, where theory, practice, and art meet.

In my free time, I love to read and read and read.

I am also a Flâneur at heart. I love strolling around old city centers and enjoy the architecture and the life that goes on.
