I spent my Erasmus semester in a design studio where we had to draw 1:1 details and 1:10 sections on paper, by hand. We had the opportunity to design custom structures, so I had to think about, for example, how do they make the window profile I drew? When I came home, I enrolled in a carpentry course. The idea for the subject of my degree came from there, I was hoping that practice and design would have a good effect on each other. I chose as my design location the former distillery site in the Orczy district, which is at the heart of the district's vulnerable social strata. The aim of the degree is to integrate local people into work and strengthen their communities by taking advantage of the built environment and sociological changes.
