My professional interests include sustainable and responsive architecture, material circularity and vernacular construction techniques enhanced by digital technologies. My master thesis project was based on the topic “Plastic Emergency Architecture: Creating low-cost, accessible architecture from waste material, improving liveability in areas affected by mismanaged plastic waste”. The project has been exhibited during the events such as Barcelona Building Construmat 2019 and Architects@Work Madrid 2019. Moreover, it has been developed further during the Residency program at Autodesk Build Space in Boston.
Before coming to IAAC I have worked as an architect in Lithuania and Portugal. Additionally, I have been involved in many events related to the European Architecture Students Assembly (EASA) in multiple roles, including an organiser and a tutor.
