Architect | Computational Designer
Neda is a computational designer and architect. She joined MSA studio in 2018 as a designer. She studied for a master’s degree in digital architecture at PARS University and has already over two years of design and teach (Static and Advanced Structural Systems) before joining the MSA Studio. Vision is evident throughout her various projects, where she designs with the user experience foremost in mind. She enjoys working on projects with specialized programs and finding solutions to challenging design problems. Her activities at MSA include holding workshops on computer-aided design and digital fabrication, as well as participating in human-scale parametric pavilion construction. When she’s not organizing our chaos, she can be found in a cafe, brainstorming ideas with her friends.
