between grounds
What it takes to make a home

Donja Zahedi SaysanCV
About My work moves between architecture, spatial research, and social imagination. I engage with existing structures as living archives, transforming them into spaces for dialogue, interaction, and collective presence. My practice is driven by curiosity, sensitivity, and the belief that architecture and art can nurture belonging.
