JURY

I am intrested in architectural heritage, historical buildings rehabilitation and cultural landscape (urbanism). I am also intrested in cities of culture and its projection on social development and sustainable tourism.

I would like to mention that my focus on the subject will not be on the architectural side only, but I will go beyond it to interior design and decoration until I deliver my first idea of the site, which is to highlight the extent of the architect's connection and his need to be true for a general and surrounding overview of any project in order to be able to design in a refined manner that depends on correct foundations that serve The project and thus serve the idea.
