Masterwork

Victor Hugo Street 18-22

In my masterwork, I attempt to transform a state-socialist-era office building, often perceived as alien in today’s urban environment, to explore whether a more human-scale and welcoming form can be created while preserving its period-specific architectural identity.
Thesis

Architectural Preferences in Western and State Socialist Modernist Office Buildings

My thesis examines the architectural character and social perception of modern office buildings from Western modernism and state socialism, investigating differences in their architectural expression and public reception.
