Architectural Design, Building Technology, Competitions and Student Competitions is my teaching focus. Research work is focusing on sustainability in Architectural Design, Prefabrication and Standardization of shelters, Lightweight Ephemeral structures from sustainable materials, Synthesis of Detail and material technology combined with interdisciplinary research topics such as optimization, form finding and analysis of architectural research with the use of computing tools and data bases. His collaborations are targeting on the publication of a relevant book (September, 2020). Award-winning architect in several International and European Architectural Competitions. (ten prizes, commendations and distinctions)

Cultural sustainable architecture with strong focus on context and site specific projects deeply rooted in the local environment and building traditions.

Focused on the very essence of inclusion and accessibility of urban fabrics to people all ages, colours, abilities and gender. Focused on the colourful architectural prospect which manifests itself over the face of our cities through accessible and inclusive design. 

High end creativity is what I simply bake!  

What architects are trying to achieve usually is to create a focal point in their designs. And this is a way to focus on particular components of the architectural design. It's just making simple things seems more exquisite and much more alive.  
My Architecture Focus is to create weird emblematic emotional spaces of value. In fact, it is a passion and desire to strive for the best, amid the challenges and pressures that make you an architect worth it. 

However, to be a real architect is not about to be only uniquely different but to be much more awaken for enlightenment arts. 
In the enlightened state of art, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before. So what is left when illusion of creativity ends?

In my prespective and point of view, the influence of the
designe can have affect and influnce the daily life of the
people.
And for this reason each new project is a challenging
project, which need to have it’s own charachter and can
improve the general life of the use

I think a good design whether its an architectural or urban planning scale all the way down to product design, the underlying principle is to make things better for people. I think the motive should be to use design to enable people to live better lifes, to get more out of everything. Its a goal quite often can be lost in architectural design and for this one must under the human conditions cultural differences around the world, the climatic sitiations that people are in and more and more its about trying to embrace all aspects of health. So I think in all aspects if you allow yourself to think about health, think about the wellbeing of the people we are designing for - it can finally lead us into some interesting and new strategies for where technology should go. There is a responsibility to think about people in a broader sense. Young people eventually become old people, firm people become infirm. so there is a constant need to think about all at the same time to make the world a happy place to be for all.
