About the studioStudio Kornelia Dimitrova is a spatial design and research practice specialising in value-driven transformations. Combining the toolbox of an architect and a social designer Kornelia, is committed to finding a custom fit for the needs of every project. Bridging the visionary long-term strategies and scenarios with the directness of actionable pilot projects, our work enables strategic decision-making, inclusive processes and transformative interventions.
In 2020, Kornelia Dimitrova obtained with excellent results a PDEng at TU Eindhoven, a two-year design research on the development of Landgoed De Grote Beek as a sustainable, healing environment. As a follow-up, in 2021 she was commissioned by GGzE to publish the Playbook for healing environments, a visual spatial strategy for the transformation of Landgoed De Grote Beek in the next 15 years. |
