Throughout my Bachelor studies in architecture, I honed a diverse set of skills essential for the field. These include proficiency in architectural design, encompassing conceptualization, spatial planning, and visualization using software tools like AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp. Additionally, I developed a robust understanding of architectural principles, construction methods, materials, and building codes/regulations.
