The main objective of her work is the holistic approach of space within the framework of ecological – sustainable design, the project’s integration in the landscape with respect to the unique qualities and memories of each location (genius loci), and the socio-cultural conditions of place. Among the special aims of her projects are the design solutions emphasising on a close connection to nature and its processes, on the natural dynamics and their biodiversity, on vegetation as a structural spatial element. Conceiving built space and andscape as a unique entity might create places where humans feel involved, in harmony with their environment and are keen of taking the responsibility for its maintenance.
