Architect with international academic and professional experience across Germany, Italy, and Jordan, combining innovative design with technical architectural practice.
Trained at the Bauhaus-oriented Anhalt University and Politecnico di Milano, with a strong focus on the integration of digital design methodologies and advanced fabrication in architecture through research experience at INDEXLAB focusing on parametric design, 3D-printing, and robotic fabrication. Professional work involved early-stage design and competition support in UAE, computational design research in Italy, and the development of industrial and infrastructure projects in Germany, contributing from concept design through permitting and technical coordination using BIMbased workflows. Experience includes preparing building permit documentation, coordinating with clients and contractors, and supporting site inspections and technical detailing. My current experience in technical asset and project management enabled me to improve my understanding of building systems, project delivery, and lifecycle performance. Proficient in Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit, with a strong interest in technologically driven architecture, material innovation, and performance-oriented design.

00 Discrete Architecture in Contemporary Ornament 01 Modular Performance-driven Pavilion
Addaptive Reuse of Old Ice Factory
[ 00 Rethinking Ornament ]
Politecnico di Milano - MArch
2021
Traditional construction processes are rapidly evolving due to the need for more time, cost and energy efficient construction processes, leading us to be better able to fulfil our current needs. On the one hand, this means a rapid shift towards automation, which is an effective solution to reducing the construction’s environmental footprint, and on the other, the search for alternative material resources. Polymers are widely used and wasted in construction, therefore considered smart materials used widely in today’s architecture.
Algorithmic design has enabled the exploration and creation of complex geometric tectonics that can be assembled in various ways to create customised architectural elements. Robotic 3D-printing offers efficient approach that enables real-time physical simulation, creating an interactive experience between the designer and the product.
Recursive subtraction is a process in design or geometry in which a shape is iteratively and repeatedly subtracted from a larger shape, often resulting in intricate, complex forms. This technique is used to create patterns or textures by gradually removing parts from the whole.

Field-controlled modular assembly showing the aggregation process of a single module in response to vector fields with Rhino and Grasshopper. Modules align, orientate and vary their density depending on field strength and flow direction. This demonstrates a scalable system that can generate both finite structures and continuous architectural fields.

[ 01 Smart Pavilion ]
Politecnico di Milano University - MArch
2021
This project pursues new design approaches to tackle environmental problems in the construction sector. It aims to improve energy efficiency in the construction industry and reduce material waste.
The pavilion utilises perforated outer skin to control the amount of sunlight entering the interior and create a comfortable temperature for users.
Comprehensive environmental and structural analyses were used to calculate the diameter of the perforations and the structure of the steel frame. Structural optimisation algorithms were used.
Location: Leonardo campus, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy
The historic building, formerly a soap factory, has been developed into a meeting place for artists and musicians The proposed adaptive reuse aims to preserve the significance of the site and create a sustainable solution.
Consists of a student residence, a music school with recording studios and auditorium, and dance areas. Addaptive reuse will make the building more efficient with a long-term positive impact on the surrounding area.
Location: Berlin, Germany
Type: Individual / academic work

A two-storey industrial facility with multifunctional use was planned and realized on behalf of a private company in the water recycling and treatment sector. The building combines office space with technical areas for research, water treatment and storage.
The building was constructed using prefabricated reinforced con crete. In order to integrate the design into the local surroundings, the façade was designed with red-brick exterior walls to match the traditional building style of the surrounding area. The facility consists of two functionally separate structures: an administration area and a section for technical processes and storage areas.
Location: Magdeburg, Germany
Type: Research-oriented industrial facility for water treatment and recycling.

[ PLAN AND SECTION ]
The floor plan was developed and optimized in close coordination with the client and the specialist planners and contractors involved. Coordination took place in parallel with the overall architectural management of the project.
The design and approval planning was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the building regulations and subsequently released for the execution phase. The execution drawings were prepared in collaboration with the structural engineers and handed over to the contractors and site management.
[ 04 The Reclaimed Garden of Cascina San Fedele ]
Politecnico di Milano University - MArch
2021
The project presented for San Fedele focuses on restoring the historic Cascina San Fedele, earlier used as royal vacation house, and using it as a boutique park offering organic products. The main goal of the project is to attract more visitors in order to convey the unique charm of Monza through local products.
The connection between San Fedele and the surrounding historic buildings will be strengthened by creating new pedestrian paths that include small structures for visitors’ spatial experiences and activities. The conference pavilion represents an event hall for the people to sell organic products and do related activites togather.
The conference and event pavilion is created from a simple circular shape that develops into an organic, serpentine structure in response to the natural surroundings.
Instead of removing the existing trees, the architecture integrates them into the spatial concept. The result is a harmonious combination of landscape and built space - a place that unites encounters, tranquillity and the experience of nature.
The pavilion becomes a living landscape element, a symbol of the respectful interplay between architecture, environment and user.

d) The curved geometry is devided into several elements serving the landscape and providing a space for social events.
c) Geometries wind around the trees. serpentine-like form in red colour.
