Biography
I am an architectural designer, researcher, historian, and educator.
I hold an MArch degree in Architectural Design from the University of Ljubljana and an MA degree in Architectural History from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. I have worked at several world-renowned practices, such as Bevk-Perovć, Casper Mueller Kneer, Farshid Moussavi Architecture, and BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, where I currently work as an architectural designer. Alongside my work in architectural studios, I am constantly developing my creative practice situated at the intersection of critical thinking, creative writing, and design work.
Throughout my career, I have been engaging in work with students across different universities in the UK and abroad. In the academic year 2022 / 2023 I held the post of Unit Master at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, alongside Boštjan Vuga and Gabu Heindl in Diploma 5, titled: Public! Porous! unheimlich. Placed!
My work aims to serve as a catalyst for disrupting established hierarchies; to challenge conventional ideologies, historical narratives, and established truths whilst addressing questions of sustainability, social justice, and the complexity of intersectionality.
I am interested in exploring the complexities of public spaces, investigating the agency of diverse entities – human and non-human alike – and exploring how spaces are utilised and created as a response to political dynamics, historical contexts, and lived experiences.
I work on the threshold where theoretical and conceptual ideas interweave with design practices, producing new solutions that transcend beyond visual aesthetics and respond to the context of time and place(s).
