I am seeking a new position to design within existing urban contexts while sympathizing with the historically significant elements. As a recent graduate of the MA in Historical and Sustainable Architecture at NYU London, I would like to pursue adaptive reuse architecture and redevelop/regenerate urban areas. My thesis was Housing in London, which focused on analyzing post-war housing standards and policies to current practices in order to established a set of principles to create higher quality and efficient production of affordable housing throughout London. I would like to assess the needs of city and create architectural solutions that respects and works with its existing heritage and conditions. My previous work experience is well balanced between conversions and new builds, from design drawing stage to construction administration. This, plus my education has enabled me to develop unique assets as a designer.
