Mara is trained as architect with a sensitive approach on social urban dynamics; she has developed her knowledge on architecture and urban design tools within the KU Leuven international master of Urban Projects - Urban Cultures, and explored many urban contexts by travelling and following research projects.
Both independently and through co-created initiatives she explores alternative territorial and urban development.
She enjoys much to put her hands into construction projects.
