Iryna is honored to be the recipient of the Raymund Fellowship award and continue to explore landform architecture.

As a first-year PhD student in the landscape architecture, her interest lies at the intersection of building and landscape with a focus on the potential of landform architecture to open up new relationships between nature and architecture.

Iryna is a practicing architect, owner of Volynets architectural bureau, and co-owner of MIstudio in Ukraine.

At this moment of professional development, Iryna has decided to contribute to the development of landform architecture theory and bring these values to the academic environment as a practitioner.

Iryna was a Visiting Faculty and taught a design studio in the Department of Landscape Architecture this spring and a graduate studio and seminar in the Department of Architecture this summer.

After completing her PhD, Iryna plans to proceed with her practice and bring the research outcomes to real design.

She also hopes to explore landform architecture bringing it to the new level and make its influence on the future of the global environment.
