About me

I am an architect, artist, and curator whose practice explores how cultural identity is formed, negotiated, and experienced through space, collective processes, and shared structures. Working across spatial installation, curatorial projects, and interdisciplinary collaborations, I investigate how individuals and communities situate themselves within cultural and social systems.

Originally from Iran and currently based in Barcelona, my work is grounded in an ongoing engagement with questions of heritage, belonging, and contemporaneity. I hold a PhD in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Barcelona, where my research focused on the relationship between digital technologies and cultural heritage. This early work approached cultural systems through computational and algorithmic methods, laying the foundation for my continued interest in how patterns—both formal and social—shape perception and spatial experience.

Over time, my practice has expanded beyond digital frameworks toward a more embodied and collective exploration of identity and space. Through spatial installations and ephemeral architectural interventions, I examine conditions of partial belonging, suspended identity, and the shifting boundaries through which we relate to one another and to our environments.

This line of inquiry extends into my curatorial work. I am the founder and curator of Patternitecture, an interdisciplinary platform and biennial exhibition that investigates how pattern systems influence cultural perception and the built environment. Since 2015, the project has brought together around one hundred artists from Iran and internationally, creating a space for dialogue between tradition, contemporary practice, and collective experience.

My recent projects further develop this focus on shared authorship and relational identity. Boundaries that Expand; Where We Stand explores the limits of human and societal structures through spatial installations presented in Iran and later in Barcelona as part of the “By Invitation” exhibition. I am also currently curating ToMerge, a project centered on co-creation, examining how individual presence and agency are continuously reshaped through collective artistic processes.

Across these different formats, my practice seeks to create spaces—both physical and conceptual—where cultural narratives, individual identities, and collective dynamics intersect and transform.
