Figuring Stuff out, connecting things, investigating, constructing, collecting information, reaching solutions, achieving, failing, repeating.

..and quite confused.

OCCUPATION:
I'm an Architect with a strong focus an sustainability, urban planning and collaboration with Artists. I also participate in various cultural projects as an activist, organizing festivals, debates on urban planning, supporting off space Art projects and cultural centers.

CURRENT MISSION

PHILOSOPHY

stolen quotes:

Architecture is destruction (so destroy wisely).
I can not believe in a God who is not capable of Dancing.
The opposite of death is love.
and not everything has to make sense.
