I have extensive experience as a lead architect for various projects of design, research and assessment in the field of architecture, interior, landscape and urban design.

My focus is on climate change and equitable human developments. My vision for 'green and sustainable' is beyond the tangible elements of human habitation. I believe that the sustainability of culture and tradition lies in the core values that are passed on from generation to generation.

I believe the synthesis of the sciences and the art in balance to how we inhabit the land is the highest form of expression.

Contemporary styles, trends and novelties in the design world.

Hogr is founder and CEO of GoshaArch GoshaArch is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects around the globe. GoshaArch is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. GoshaArch approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, with respect of the past.

GoshaArch architecture emerges from the idea that a designs should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.

I am an architect and researcher focused on the points of convergence between space, politics and society. 

My work spans a range of mediums and scales - from ambitious built projects to temporary installations and published research - all with a focus on the political and social role of architecture. 

I have always been inspired by the pure form nature which inspires the rhythm and continuity between the edifice and nature. Every piece of architecture should be inextricably connected to nature which can only be possible by using proper use of art, science, and modern technology. Architecture is not just a language but also a soul, that can enrich and enhance the human society for a better future.
