In motion
Throughout my studies in architecture, I’ve developed a deep interest in how the built environment can connect people to place, memory, and each other. My work is grounded in the belief that architecture is not just about form or function — it is a medium for storytelling, identity, and long-term cultural continuity.
A central theme in my academic journey has been the exploration of intangible heritage — the values, histories, and lived experiences that shape a community beyond its physical structures. I’ve focused on how design can revive forgotten narratives and foster a stronger sense of belonging, especially in post-industrial or overlooked urban contexts. I believe architecture has the power to rebuild civic pride and social cohesion when it honours the unseen layers of a place’s history.
My recent projects have explored adaptive reuse and material retention as part of a broader vision for sustainability — not just environmental, but social and cultural. I see longevity as a key strategy: designing buildings that age well, support evolving needs, and hold lasting relevance for future generations. This includes choosing materials for durability and meaning, and creating adaptable, layered spaces.
In my latest work, I focused on crafting an architectural journey that guides users through a sequence of experiences — using light, thresholds, and sightlines to narrate a story rooted in heritage. Each movement through the space reveals new perspectives, connecting visitors with the site’s industrial past and cultural identity. Importantly, this journey was designed to blend with the living context — responding to its existing rhythms and nature.
