CURRENTLY Architecture and built heritage from Strasbourg, France ABOUT ME First: ocean exploration, ship design and life on board, 5 years. A small gap, then back to school, learning architecture and urbanism, consolidating travels abroad. Now working for the french ministry of culture, mostly building permitting in protected heritage areas around my hometown. Time flies... Fond of asian cuisine, especially Sichuan hot pot and tofu dishes. Wish to visit Ukraine, Ethiopia, Iran, Madagascar, Tamil Nadu, Fujian, Santa Catarina... PHILOSOPHY Share it.
