I'm Kylian Parvin, BA1 student at MSA.

Before beginning my studies in architecture, I spent seven years studying and working in the Merchant Navy and the superyachting industry as an officer. During that time, I had the opportunity to travel to 53 countries, experiencing a wide range of cultures, cities, and coastal environments. Living and working at sea taught me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of precision; qualities that now influence the way I approach design.

Travelling extensively also shaped my understanding of place and context. Being exposed to different architectural styles, urban conditions, and landscapes sparked my interest in how environments shape human experience. Transitioning into architecture feels like a natural progression, allowing me to translate those global experiences into thoughtful and grounded design.
