JURY

Hi!

My name is Sheyda Novruzzadeh. I'm Chairman of the Commission on Youth Affairs of the Union of Architects of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In 2010 I entered the Faculty of Architecture of Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction, graduated from the University with bachelor's degree in 2014 and the master's degree in 2016. Currently , I'm continue my doctorate degree.

Since 2012, I have been the Assistant to the Chairman of the Management Board of the Union of Architects of the Republic of Azerbaijan. I also work as an architect in the architectural company "El & En".

From 2015 to present I have been the President of the Young Architects and Students Club under the Union of Architects of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

During my short architectural activities, I have implemented a number of projects within the architectural company "El & En": Youth Center in the National Park, "High Technology Park" in Pirallahi settlement, Regeneration of historic neighborhoods around Taza Pir Mosque complex, etc.

In 2015, on the occasion of Youth Day, Iwas awarded with the "Youth Prize" by the Ministry of Youth and Sport of the Republic of Azerbaijan for my successful activity in 2014. According to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated December 18, 2017, I was awarded the "Progress" medal for her contribution to the development of architecture in Azerbaijan.

Details! Technology! Interactive! Ease! is Architecture!

working on the development of an innovative and responsible architecture, sustainable architecture, participative architecure, local architecture.

My architectural focus is combining the fasade design with the whole concept of the object.

The esthetic of the object should follow the meaning of the object. This is my first and main focus. In the same time I belong to that group of architects who think that the culture should reflect the way we build our reality and , but more than that it is how we build in order to change our way of living. So in this case I am curious to see if the students which will participate would consider to create their works in my terms ( esthetics and culture).

Architecture is a chance we have to make a better future. Creating spaces, ambience that reflect emotions, beauty, function and comfort. 

I'm interested on Landscape desig but I love creating in general

As a world Citizen, I believe that is possible to change the world in a balanced way through the education, in fully respect of the nature, with the objective of contributing positively, improving the quality of people life.
