As a master's student specializing in Smart and Resilient Cities, my passion for design has only deepened through hands-on projects, urban studios, and interdisciplinary courses. The opportunity to engage in research and design work focused on urban mobility, sustainability, and resilient infrastructure has allowed me to push the boundaries of traditional architecture and apply innovative solutions to real-world challenges. Collaborating with peers and experts from diverse fields has broadened my perspective, enabling me to integrate knowledge from urban design, sustainability, and smart technologies into my work. Each project, whether it’s a small-scale intervention or a larger urban planning initiative, has strengthened my ability to think critically and creatively, with a focus on designing cities that are both livable and future-proof. These experiences are not only shaping my academic journey but also preparing me to contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of urban design.
