MARTA KRIVOSHEEK

Marta Krivosheek is an architect and a designer, with an educational background in engineering and architecture. She worked as a Senior Designer in a progressive architectural practice in Abu Dhabi (UAE), leading the design team on various landmarks and high-profile projects.

 Alongside her professional work and experience, she has been involved as the main collaborator of d-NAT since its inception in 2013. She participated in the organization and running the workshops, events and working on the development program. Marta and Zayad have jointly worked on a number of projects and submissions.

Marta explores the boundaries between different media, tools, and techniques including computational design, digital fabrication, materials science, and programming. She is fascinated by the evolutionary paths embedded in natural systems as key drivers in approaching any design assignment. She uses these principles, in combination with her deep instincts, for the generation of spaces across different scales from urban scale, to architecture, product, graphics, fashion and jewelry. Her processes seek to unlock the creative potential of different materials and structures with beauty and logic.
