About Me

Alaa Aridi

Design Philosophy

An architect has the tools to create homes or insane asylums. Through balance and familiar settings, a space becomes a home. The architect must create a better world, as they set the tone for the whole community.

I believe architecture can profoundly affect human beings and the course of a society. My goal is to be remembered as a good architect who creates balanced and meaningful environments, rather than just a great one.

Through my studies and projects, I strive to design spaces that not only serve their functional purpose but also inspire and uplift the communities they serve. Every design decision is made with consideration for how it will impact the human experience and contribute to a better built environment.
