Elina Koivisto is an architect (M.Sc.), educator and a doctoral researcher. Her curiosity and criticism lie in social, corporeal and environmental effects and possibilities of the material realities of architecture. She has worked on several architectural and educational projects in different scales and locations from Helsinki to Phnom Penh. She is currently on study leave from her position as the Lecturer of Sustainable Construction. In her practice-led doctoral research, she investigates, through a temporary architectural space and the process of its making, how a more bodily and caring approach together with human and non-human co-collaborators could change our relationship with the space and matter.
