Arkemists

I love building. With a background in architecture from Tehran University and Lund University, I pursue my passion by studying and working with configurations, tectonic, and materials.

I am enthusiastic about the social aspect of architecture and how spaces affect and is affected by everyday.

BIM-methodology in the architectural profession is one of my strongest professional interests. As an arkemist I am responsible for digital model coordination and development of work methodology, especially in later stages of a project.

I see the importance and strive to utilize the maximum potential of digital tools and workflows available to us, right from the conception of any project.

I have previously practised as architect and project manager at Next Office, a leading and internationally recognised architectural design and research studio in Tehran, Iran.

I graduated from KTH School of Architecture back in 2012. After seven years of practice in Tehran, I came back to Stockholm to boost Arkemi with my experience in creating amazing architecture.

My expertise lies in developing strong ideas and communicating these with a wide selection of tools – including text, physical and digital models, image and VR.

I have a special interest in the phenomenon of dwelling as well as in the often conflicting and complex hopes, dreams, wants and needs of people confronted with architecture and urbanity.

A good teacher of mine once said: “a good architect is like a cat, she lands stably on four feet regardless how she falls”. That has become my mantra in my practice I guess, accepting the conditions for what they are and aspiring to make the best out of them.

Architecture to me is all about complex problem-solving: a creative process which results in a win-win situation for the client, inhabitants, society and the environment. That sale’s pitch aside, I actually think architecture is nothing but arrangement of material, framing the life!
