Ahmet User
@ahmetuser
Experienced architect with a passion for sustainable urban design.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated architect with extensive international experience in architectural and urban design. My journey has taken me through Canada, the United Kingdom, and Italy, where I have honed my skills in utilizing advanced design tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit, and AutoCAD. My work on significant projects, including the Lusail Art Museum in Qatar, has allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of technical documentation.
Currently pursuing my MSc in Architecture and Urban Design at Politecnico di Milano, I am deeply engaged in research that explores the integration of new technologies in urban planning and the creation of smart cities. My passion for writing and digital art is reflected in my publications, where I discuss contemporary architectural philosophies and their implications. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to creating innovative and sustainable designs that address the challenges of modern urban living.
