Alexandra Savtchenko (ARB, AADip, BFA) is an architect whose work explores site study as critical and propositional practice through experimental surveying and making. Professionally, she has worked on conceptual and technical design for urban public realms and building retrofit. Alongside this, her interdisciplinary research focuses on environmentally, materially and culturally complex sites – such as Palermo, where rapid cultural change unfolds within a dense historical and physical context. Through sculpture, photography and writing, her practice explores the potential for generative spatial experience informed by phenomenological inquiry. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and her writing was published in Mutation and Morphosis (Lars Müller, 2020). She teaches drawing, portfolio and technical design in the First Year at the AA.
