Julia Stafi. Portfolio
As Bill Clinton says if you want to lead something, start by saying - this is what I care about.

This is what I want to do. For me, it is important to make the world beautiful and safe for all the inhabitants of the Planet.

About me
International Associate of The American Institute of Architects
My name is Julia, I am Architect with 12-year of experience - and still consider myself as emerging professional.

I am ardent creator and progressive thinker. I have my own vision (or INTOPIAs) for future development of Humankind.

I'm currently work as Product Manager in Construction.




Note:
The only strict thing in my portfolio is perhaps the chronology.

I deliberately did not include in the portfolio projects that I developed as an employee - basically, these are more technical aspects of projects + complex relationships in terms of copyright.
I consider myself a good conceptualist and philosopher - for this reason, I did not include a detailed description of each concept.
However, some of my works is mostly description - primarily my social project for the Zaatari refugee camp (not included in the portfolio) and the INTOPIA vision.
My philosophy.
For a long time, the answer to the question "what is the most important thing in architecture" for me was "form". Now I know that the most important is a Person. How people feel about themselves, how the environment affects their health, wealth and well-being.
I would really like to be able to transform the world around us - let it be safe and kind for any person and respectful for Nature.

The Spirit (2018)
Born to be vibrant place.
The Spirit — is the most vibrant, independent, and extravagant. Born originally as a project of the church in Norway, I transformed it into an exquisite home. Spirit subjugates any landscape and turns the surrounding area into a "place of power."
The Spectre (2019)
THE MIX OF CLASSICS AND MODERN
For me, Architecture is 50 percent of technical code and 50 percent of Art.

THE MEMORIAL (2022)
For those, who will never see the light
Who will never feel fresh airwave
Rejoice, o, you, alive

Dedicated to the People of Ukraine

MY ART
Since childhood, drawing has been a way for me to go to another world, not so ordinary, a world without borders.
Sometimes we may not be where we want to be right now. But imagination always allows us to travel to places full of beauty and originality. My paintings are the world I escape to when I want to be alone.
Left to right:

Hey architect!
Why so serious?
To build the new world
you
should not
be
so mysterious!
Grab the sledgehammer and
bang bang -
Then whack whack
- chips to chips, cracks to crack!
Painful?
Familiar?
Oh, yes.
How many times
you’ve been ruined your whole progress?
Thru pain and tears,
day and night,
You’ve never stopped
your design fight
So, what’s the matter
of all this?
Respect?
Authority?
Another prize?
No.
Lightning
of furious gaze.
I just want to leave
a positive trace.
Then rise and shine,
Mr. Architect!
Rise and shine!
And smell the ashes.

Dedicated to all architects and Vladimir Mayakovsky

To build the new world
