As a very young architectural intern in 2005 in Paris,

I could participate in this exciting project in Reykjavik. I worked on physical models and on 2D images on booklets and plans.

I learned from the whole team and especially from the great architect Toshihiro KUBOTA. He taught me how to work with colours, compositions and images in format.

He influenced me in my future projects to be more brave and experimental.

This project remains unfinalized. The image is taken from the AJN website.

Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

2007/2010 completed

In 2007 I was part of the team in the competition for 

UC Irvine Arts Center in EYRC former Steven Ehrlich Architects located in Culver City in Los Angeles. I was working mainly on 2D images in Photoshop, creating plans and elevations and putting people into renderings. I enjoyed that part so much. I had a tough and excellent supervisor, Harvard-educated architect, Patricia Rhee. Patricia would never let me do any imperfect work. I had to redo images over and over again. But I learnt so much! Patricia gave me a valuable lesson for my future life. I am more hardworking and open-minded when I work on any project.

MADMA / MAXWAN Architects and Urbanists

In 2003 in Rotterdam, I had the pleasure of meeting the Dutch architect and urbanist Rienst Dijkstra and Japanese architect HIROKI MATSUURA.

Rients Dijkstra as an office leader allowed me to design a gallery for this competition, I was only 22 years old and I felt very creative and free in this office. I worked closely with Hiroki Matsuura.

He was my supervisor and he taught me how to work with composition in a plan, and drafting in AutoCAD.

I felt like I am a part of the family of MAXWAN. MADMA architects.

I participated in an exciting project, a competition for a Beer Bar in Paris. I could design everything from the beginning and prepare a final presentation.

MY FAVOURITE UNIVERSITIES 

GERRIT RIETVELD ACADEMIE / AMSTERDAM

Project: Ideal Home
Department:  Architectural Design
Year: 2002

Gerrit Rietveld Academie

Amsterdam, my love! In 2002 we moved to the Netherlands for one year with my future husband Adam. We both started to attend Academies in Amsterdam. We were searching for a new home together almost for 2 months. We had to stay in a tent for 3 weeks in Amsterdam Nord and cycle to school for 40 min often in the rain. The topic Ideal Home was great. I asked basic questions about what does it mean to me

to have a home and how it looks.

I designed a project inspired by the universe and planets. Each planet each activity at home:

sleeping, cooking, storage, working, relaxing.

ENSA PARIS-VAL DE SEINE/
PARIS

Project: Hotel Tolbial
Department:  Architecture
Year: 2005

 l’Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Val de Seine

In 2004/2005, I was in Paris as a free mover student at l’Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Val de Seine. The school was located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés just in The Beaux-Arts de Paris campus near Pont des Arts. It was the Paris environment that I loved, just magical full of history and beauty. I spent so much time in Paris museums and parks, I visited monuments. I cycled through Paris to enjoy the city as much as I could. This project is the hotel, inspired by the monuments of Paris in the location where there is only Bibliotheque Francois Mitterrand.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IN LIBEREC
FUA TUL

Project: Palm Desert University building
Department:  Architecture
Year: 2005

Faculty of Architecture, Technical University in Liberec

In 1999 I started to study the Faculty of Architecture, Technical University in Liberec. I graduated in 2006 with my Master's Degree diploma as Ing. arch.

These seven years were extraordinary. I met new friends and my future husband here. The school was "small, dynamic and open" as our dean professor Jiří Suchomel said many times. I simply loved FUA TUL, former FA TUL, I love the people most. I learnt how to

design independently, how to experiment in architecture and how not to be afraid of failure.

This project was a competition to Palm Desert in CA, USA. It was a university building and I was dreaming about palm trees and sunshine in rainy Liberec. What was the truth, Liberec it was the best place to work 

without distraction and focus on architectural projects.

I was designing under the supervision of Vít Máslo.

There were 4 phases of the design: analysis, concept,

work in progress, and final presentation.
