Brett is a licensed architect, artist, lecturer and gallery manager active in New York, Philadelphia, and Seoul. His interest spans across multi-media and scales, speculating on complex structural tectonics, material technologies, and fabrication methods in both architectural practice and discourse.

Saliba Architects is an award-winning architectural firm located in Beirut, Lebanon.
It has extensive experience in several building types spanning both the private and public sectors.
Restaurants, bars and family homes are a few of the building types Saliba Architects has been
directly involved with, resulting in successful projects that the clients and building users found
enjoyable to occupy.

At Saliba Architects, we value beauty, efficiency, logic, pure expression of materials, and clean
lines and forms that allow the architecture- the space, light, materials, spatial relationships - and
its inhabitants to thrive. The result is an architecture that is current but timeless, serene yet warm,
and uniquely reflective of the values and characters of our clients. Saliba Architects offers the
following services as part of our program. Building Design - Interior Design – Landscapes –

Architect and Urban Designer

High end creativity is what I simply bake!  

What architects are trying to achieve usually is to create a focal point in their designs. And this is a way to focus on particular components of the architectural design. It's just making simple things seems more exquisite and much more alive.  
My Architecture Focus is to create weird emblematic emotional spaces of value. In fact, it is a passion and desire to strive for the best, amid the challenges and pressures that make you an architect worth it. 

However, to be a real architect is not about to be only uniquely different but to be much more awaken for enlightenment arts. 
In the enlightened state of art, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before. So what is left when illusion of creativity ends?

My focus is on generative design in architecture as well as extending our tools and capabilities through collaboration with algorithms and technology. My daily job is based on creating algorithms that can solve various design and engineering problems in architecture through parametric and computational design, as well as different simulation and optimization techniques. 

I am currently a PhD student at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade. My research topic is based on 3D Graphic Statics and developing new algorithms for it (a topic that Block Reseacrch Group from ETH is also exploring).

During 2019. I was a Inspireli finalist. 

For my interest and passion, I am convinced that the appropriate design of each space improves the quality of life of the user. For this reason, I consider each new project as a personal challenge and I always aim for space production of the most high quality thanks to a dynamic architecture. Sociability, creativity, sense of organization and methodical sense are elements that characterize me.
