DRAGOS GHIOCA
REUS is the personal webpage of Dragos Ghioca, architect and researcher, established in Zurich, CH.
Since October 2023, I have been an A&T Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Technology in Architecture at the ETH Zurich. The focus of my work is on the practice of reusing the existing material stock as an alternative to the complete reliance on extractive practices.
After graduating from the Master’s Program in Architecture (MARCH, UniLu 2019), I gained professional experience in architectural offices in Luxembourg. From 2021 to 2023, I joined the Petite Maison project, federated by the University of Luxembourg, as part of the European Capital of Culture 2022 program.
