I am a young, ambitious and motivated architect. I am a Slovenian citizen, but I was born in Skopje, Macedonia. I graduated in may 2010 at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje. The Slovenian citizenship allows me to travel to the USA without needing a visa. I have a lot of working experience because I used to work even as a student for different firms and individuals. The moment I graduated I was offered a job as a junior architect in one of the oldest and most famous architectural firms in Macedonia, "Atelier Ajvar" ( http://www.ajvarhrrm.com.mk ). However, my ambitions don’t stop here. Now I am ready to take the next step in my life, and that is to focus on extending my professional career. I am prepared and eager to increase my knowledge and attain further experience, encounter new styles and ideas, so that I will be able to contribute to the world of Architecture. I am ready to open new doors and improve my career prospects.
Graduating with a degree Engineer Architect brought me solid scientific knowledge. Aside from the technical knowledge that I have gained with my degree, I have also learned how to analyze and resolve critical situations, that is, to determine practical solutions to problems, creating good and efficient projects. Beside the faculty I also attended a couple of workshops and summer school for architecture. I am intrigued by architecture and computer science.
I have passed the state exam here and I have all the licenses for architecture and supervision. I have designed all sorts and types of projects. Most of them were Commercial and Hospitality Buildings.
My formal academic training has taught me to be able to make good decisions in designing different kind of projects, new stylish way of approach. I am convinced that by working in your studio I will also improve my sense of self-awareness, my individual strengths and abilities that underpin my self-development and leadership skills.
Thank You for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Damjan Hristov
