Novaya Politra

Novaya became a part of the team during her undergrad in Fall 2023. As a researcher, she was constantly experimenting and pursuing experience that broadened her understanding of the vastly interdisciplinary field of architecture and fabrication. Novaya brought to the team her previous knowledge on wood prefabrication construction, residential design, and landscape architecture from her time working in Toronto. For Novaya, her work at CSALT meant exploring the intersection of the analog craft and digital design, and together with Aram Payroveolia, she will go down as being the first to create a Kosmic installation with robots! Novaya is probably hiking in the Pyrenees somewhere on her break year.
