Dip.Arch/ MA -Master of Arts
The decision to study architecture led Togzhan not only to her future profession but to her life’s passion. After graduating from Kazakh Leading Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, in her hometown of Almaty with a whirl of architectural ideas, she continued her design education in Germany, receiving a master’s degree in 2008.
During her years in Europe, Togzhan participated in many workshops and competitions, influences that she used to create an experimental architectural design group on her return to Kazakhstan at the Kazakh Architectural Academy, before joining the Almaty office of AEDAS in 2009.
Togzhan has led projects of all scales, in different cities and countries, and alongside many different collaborators. Throughout her career, she has remained true to one fundamental design principle: that architectural design must inform and direct human interactions, she achieves this by drawing on her a deep understanding of context, and the ways in which her designs are experienced by people.
