I am an Architect and Urban Designer by profession.

Sustainable Design

My architectural approach is oriented in the structuring of the form.

As a world Citizen, I believe that is possible to change the world in a balanced way through the education, in fully respect of the nature, with the objective of contributing positively, improving the quality of people life. So, it is important to understand Architecture as a factor of social inclusion and human heritage preservation, generating self employment and income to reduce extreme poverty, education and preservation of built environment (urban and rural), low-cost housing proposals, better collective services and infrastructure and mitigation of the climate change effects.

He was also the lecturer in different workshops and master classes in Europe and Middle East and Asia universities and architecture associates.

Their designed Projects have been involved in various ranges of Architecture such as residential complexes, commercial buildings and restoration of architectural Heritage. Aesthetic, function, Genius loci and Vernacular Architecture have been considered in the base of their design process.

Nima Keivani practice has been concentrating on spiritual dimension of architecture, in which the creation of meaningful, enriched, and innovative spaces is remarked as a significant task. Relying on their theoretical and practical experiences, his design team utilizes up-to-dated methods and technologies to actualize the generated ideas, in which social, environmental and economic sustainability is in the core. His creativity and ideas is usually influenced by regional culture and environmental circumstances, which in a global scale, make their practice novel, unique, and useful for human society.

In his point of view, architecture should be considered in urban context, so social sustainability and its relationship with quality of urban spaces is one of the main subject of his papers in journals.
