2nd prize winner from Latvia
I finished my master's degree in Architecture in 2019 at Riga Technical University, Latvia. In 2016, I studied at Aachen Technical University during an Erasmus exchange programme. For the last 5 years I have worked at different architecture practices on a wide range of building types.
During my academic years I put a large emphasis on sustainable vernacular design. The best example of this is my Saint-Gobain student contest, 2018 national stage winning submission. Lately I'm more focused on housing affordability and how to achieve it while being environmentally responsible.
Architecture has always been a representation of the society's contemporary cultural and philosophical state. In this sense an architect's role is to embody the character of its users into the built environment, and architecture at its greatest creates a symbiosis between it and its users.
To challenge and develop myself professionally.
Competitions are a good place to experiment on new ideas by going an extra step further. It's better to start early and develop necessary skills that are needed later in a professional career.
