Elena Voronina, NOMA, Assoc. AIA, is an author, artist, expert in architectural propaedeutics, and Founder of KAP, an international  platform advancing architectural literacy and design pedagogy.

Her practice examines the foundations of architectural thinking and the role of visual culture, spatial perception, drawing, and design inquiry in shaping how the built environment is understood and communicated. Her work contributes to the long-term vitality of the architectural profession by strengthening the pipeline of emerging talent and creating pathways from architectural education to professional practice and leadership. Through KAP, Voronina has developed an expanding educational framework with international reach, extending architectural knowledge across cultural and geographic contexts.

At the core of her work is the proposition that architectural literacy constitutes a fundamental mode of knowledge, positioning architecture beyond the boundaries of professional practice as a way of seeing, interpreting, and understanding the spatial and material world.
