About Me

I am an architecture student at Ion Mincu University, specialising in the conservation and restoration of historical monuments. My practice bridges rigorous technical documentation — photogrammetric scanning, archival research, measured surveys — with hands-on intervention on listed buildings. I am drawn to structures that survive at the margins: rural Saxon barns, fortified citadels, and Transylvanian vernacular heritage. I believe conservation is not preservation in amber, but an act of careful reinvention.
