Team — workshop matters

Victoria Paeva

PROJECT LEAD & ART DIRECTION

Since her BA in architecture, Victoria has been actively involved in various socio-cultural and research projects dealing with grassroots initiatives, alternative educational and cultural environments, and off-gridnarratives. She is particularly interested in how our built environment influences our behaviour and how this manifests in a wider cultural landscape. Her practice is characterised by collaboration, learning by doing and critical thinking. She thrives best in an open workshop and with dirty hands. Her research work workshop matters was published by the Dutch publishing house Valiz under the title Commons-in-Design.
