Passions, interests, hobbies, professional beliefs:

- contextualism and critical regionalism in architecture; modernist and minimalist architecture; some aspects of deconstructivism;

- history and theory of architecture, historical urbanism, urban planning and urban design, heritage and preservation;

- ethics, aesthetics, philosophy, history, phenomenology;

- sustainability, eco-design, bioclimatic architecture;

- interior design, minimalism, streamline Art Deco, steampunk;

- awareness of the values of cultural heritage; consistent seek towards their preservation;

- cultural tourism, education for culture, public speaking;

- leaning towards an architecture that would fit in its context, as not to embarass cultural values within its relative proximity of space and time, but rather to enhance them…the need to master a vast database of professional knowledge related to the fields of history and theory of architecture, as a consistent stock of education that would constitute itself in a solid foundation for an architecture of dialogue between the new built form (on the one hand) and the cultural context (on the other)...a dialogue that is to be done through reinterpretations, suggestions and various ways of interrelating, using an architectural language that seeks to avoid potentially harmful contrasts;
