Nahom is very focued on Architecture, Urbanization and Curation.

I am a practicing architect based in Cyprus and doctoral student at the Univeersity of Oxford reading Sustainable Urban Development. I have graduated with distinction from the University of Cambridge in Architecture and Urban Design and from the University of Sheffield in Architecture. My master’s thesis research was honoured with the Susan and Geoffrey Twining Egginton Scholarship from Downing College and the UCF/IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant in 2017. I recently taught Design Studio at the University of Cyprus and I teach Design Research Methods on a postgraduate level at the Cyprus University of Technology as well as co-supervise and guest reviews diploma and studio projects in Architecture. 

Her works focus on the architecture that grows between the  physicallity of built form and the immeasurable phenomenology of space. This way, architecture can give rise to the sustainable growth of the built environment while taking into consideration the human experience and perception.

Universal Design

He completed his architectural education at the Department of Architecture of the FCE at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava under the guidance of visiting professor Pavol Paňák, co-founder of the architectural office A B.K.P.Š. where he completed 2-year internship shortly after school. In 2020, he successfully completed his doctoral studies by defending his final thesis entitled "Innovations in Spatial Planning Processes" and joined the Department of Architecture as a researcher and university teacher. He also applies the acquired knowledge and research on realisations in his own architectural practice within Orava region. In the academic field, he systematically deals with regional issues with a focus on the preservation of architectural heritage in northern Slovakia.

Currently, I am involved in a wide range of architectural project types in Austria and Central Europe. The projects vary in scope, but our specialties lie in architectural management, consulting, design and construction document planning for mobility architecture (rail, bus, automobile, bike and pedestrian interchanges), especially the spaces of interface, which are of architectural significance.

As upcoming AIA Europe president I am excited to respresent an engaged group of international planning professionals with the common goal of promoting educational programs and conferences for practicing architects, emerging professionals, and students alike.

I am pretty clear what architecture means to me, and after 50 years of being in this profession on three continents, I will not change my mind. There are great architects out there, and I just hope they see clearly the development of our profession. It is not about YOU anymore, it is about the survival of our planet. Please take this seriously!

Architecture is an emotional experience.

When artificial intelligence is used to build superstructures, then the human input can only be done by designers with great imagination and vision. High-Tech is terrific if it is applied to social benefit. We forget so quickly that everything we make, including artificial intelligence, comes from the raw materials of this planet.

I can see that people are fascinated by monstrous shiny skyscrapers, but the reality is, that this is nothing more than modern human anthills. Who wants to live there with thousands of others?

We should integrate the beauty of Nature harmoniously into our architecture. The grand design of Nature (mountains, valleys, meadows, lakes, streams, oceans shores) gives us enough inspiration to follow the idea to compliment Nature, instead of destroying it.

With an intrinsic affinity towards sustainable design development and landscape architecture, he emphasizes on ecology restoration in his works by incorporating green ethos and technological amalgamations. Abhishek Rao has won several competitions of national & international repute and academic awards in the field of art and architecture. He had been an International Student member of American Society of Landscape Architects under the mentorship of Ar. Ming-Jen Hsueh, Sasaki Associates. Being an artist it always fascinates him how the entire world of art merges with the minute domains of architecture. To find the link, to perceive a salient career with best professional ethics with dedicated efforts and to associate to grow tremendously has been his primary motto.

I have developed a wide-ranging practice, as an architect, teacher, writer, publisher, and initiator and curator of events and exhibitions. I have taught widely in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, including Sweden (Umeå) and Germany (Berlin, Bochum), where I had my own practice. My research focuses on performative practices which entangle knowledge, methodologies and techniques from various disciplines, including architecture, performance, geography, anthropology, and sociology. I am interested in the role architecture and its processes of production play in the construction of political practices and the establishment of the 'common'; in critical pedagogies inhering in embodied practices; and in research as intraventional. Much of my work in pedagogy and other areas of research draws particularly upon theories and views which are inclusive and nondual, performative in their diffractive mode, and are fundamentally about an ethical and responsible engagement with the making of the world with others.

Discovering the hidden architectural talents around the world and give them a chance to get recognized globally.

Moein Jalali Architect | Designer The effort to create each architectural work with the aim of global presence and a focus on transforming each project into an influential, innovative, and leading project are notable features in my approach to architecture. The reproduction of Iranian architectural concepts in the modern era and attention to philosophical, psychological, and sociocultural concepts are part of my path in the design process.
