about

Hello

I'm Martina, an architectural design graduate (Bachelor of Science and Masters of Architecture) with an additional Master of Disaster, Design and Development completed with RMIT (Melbourne).

In my undergraduate I started enquiring about architectural methods of design and the assumptions and positions that define how we impose order or embrace chance and specificity - or both. These reflections paired with an approach and aptitude for learning and research has led me to seeking further academic work and qualifications, the latest of which was a Master of Disaster, Design and Development with RMIT in Melbourne.

In my work, I aim to explore things creatively and thoughtfully with reference to philosophy, nature and a systems based approach to thinking.

Currently, I am expanding with reflexivity into the inter-cultural space, theory and more-than-human cosmologies.

This blog is a documentation of process, learning, ideas and reflective thought as I go on working, studying, traveling and living.
