Her educational background includes: Studied architecture in Bucharest and Hannover (2000-2006) Diploma from Leibniz University Hannover (2007) Professor Timofticiuc's research focuses on liberating autonomous teaching methods with students to search for independent statements about contemporary architecture. Her work explores new workspaces and the expression of new technologies in architecture. She approaches architecture as a transformative experience that turns ordinary elements into something unusual, creating buildings with independent, radical expressions that generate spatial qualities through their autonomy. Her design philosophy emphasizes coherence beginning with artificiality awareness, where buildings should possess radiant power that triggers responses in their surroundings and observers. The firm's projects often feature elemental forms, innovative spatial organization, and distinctive material expression, as seen in works like H-See House and the Hafven makerspace. Her architectural practice has received significant recognition: Deutscher Architekturpreis 2017 for Hafven, Coworking und Makerspace Niedersächsischer Staatspreis für Architektur 2018 for Hafven project Professor Timofticiuc maintains an active presence through numerous lectures, publications, and architectural projects.
