Viktor Damov is an architect, researcher, and PhD student at UACEG Sofia. He is the co-founder of Underschool, a collective dedicated to researching architectural education. As part of it, he has participated in research projects, organized exhibitions, lectures, and educational formats. In the summer of 2024, he was among the participants of Nine Elephants, a micro-festival for urban art in Sofia. His academic interests focus on the contemporary processes that shape architectural practice and education, as well as on exploring possible other approaches to both. In the winter of 2024/25, this pursuit led him to GTAS in Braunschweig, Germany, where he is conducting research on spatial agency. Viktor believes in the power of small actions, the potential of everyday imagination, and the necessity of tactical resistance against "reality."
