Lion Chambers - The House of Scottish Literature

I started my architectural studies at the Moholy-Nagy University of Craft and Design in Budapest in 1999 and finished my MA in 2004. I worked as an architect in Hungary until 2008 when I won the RIBA`s Goldfinger Scholarship and came to study at the Mackintosh School of Architecture. I have been living and working in Glasgow and London since September 2008. I was always interested in working with historic buildings and I feel that attending this course is a great way to extend my knowledge and give focus to my future carrier.
