The projects mentioned above, are individual or collective design specializations, defining the work profile of Jonian SilaJ (Architecture + Urbanism). Intentionally in the work index, the visual representation of each project is left outside of this page. When the power of the image has become so strong that we call it architecture and when urbanism has become the sum-up of design intentions with references, this website tries to make a difference by concentrating on the story itself and less on the graphics and the illustration.
