I am an architect trained in the United States and KTH in Sweden. I began my PhD studies in september of 2009 and aim to finish in 2014. My research focus in broad terms is on how architecture and spatial configuration affects social interaction and appropriation of urban territories. I am interested in how an urban structure and it’s material expressions frame and delimit space and what effect this has on use and stewardship at the interface between public and private. Besides the research, I am project manager in urban development at the Stockholm City Planning Office.             Eva Minoura, Arkitekt SAR/MSA
