Profile

The work of Ashrafi and Zad Design is rooted in an architectural design approach that is positioned at the intersection of lightweight, computational design and a celebration of existing narratives related to place and identity.

We focus on how advanced design techniques and technological innovation can benefit and empower communities, how to make our built environments more inclusive, and how architecture can offer opportunities for transformation through representation, respecting the stories of people and place, and offering a sense of belonging and identity.

Ashrafi & Zad Design is an Architecture and Urban Design Studio based in Tehran and Barcelona.

Our team is committed to finding solutions that are at once deeply rooted in the given locality while acknowledging universal identity in a globalized world.

Ashrafi & Zad Design strives for an architecture that enriches daily life, improves our environments, and benefits the communities we serve.

Our work is rooted in the understanding that the influence of any architecture or urban space surpasses the immediate physical impact of the built environment. We believe architecture influences communities by making them feel represented, by shaping constructive narratives around social issues and by presenting possibilities for a better future.
