Lina Ghotmeh (1980) heads her practice Lina Ghotmeh – Architecture in Paris. Echoing her lived experience in Beirut – a palimpsest of unrest – her designs are orchestrated as an “Archaeology of the Future”, where every project emerges materially sensitive and in symbiosis with nature. Her work includes “Stone Garden” tower in Beirut, winning Dezeen’s “Project of the Year” and exhibited at the 17th Venice Biennale, Rome’s MAXXI, and New York’s Cooper Hewitt. Her portfolio also includes the Estonian National Museum, a Mies EU Award nominee; Ateliers Hermès the first energy-positive, low-carbon manufacturing building in France; the 22nd Serpentine Pavilion in London; and the future AlUla Contemporary Art Museum. Lina Ghotmeh has been the Louis I. Khan professor at Yale, holder of the Gehry Chair at Toronto University (2021-2022) and currently holds the Kenzo Tange professorship at GSD – Graduate School of Design Harvard. She has been awarded the Schelling Architecture Prize (2020) and the Great Arab Minds Award (2023), among other prizes and nominations.
