JURY

Born in the middle of cultural diversity in Morocco, El Mehdi Belyasmine grew up in the French High School in El Jadida, Morocco, during his childhood but also in a family of artists and teachers where his father was also an architect, he was focused primarily in drawings to find the passion which is architecture and design research during his studies in Belgium (Bachelor and M.Arch II) and Switzerland (One-Year M.Arch I) with a summerschool in Brooklyn, USA.  His ambitions led him to start his path career in Doha, Qatar where he collaborated with Albaker Architects in cultural field before being moved in Mexico City in 2015 to work for Fernando Romero Enterprise/FR-EE in various projects at cultural and urban scale through design research, isometric diagrams and 3D models. From June 2016 to February 2018, he was appointed to lead design research and conception development through collaboration with Arroyo Solis Agraz Arquitectos in various projects of different scales from house to urbanism. His dynamism, open mind and vivacity enhance his interest in architectural design that operates at the intersection of culture, sustainability and technology. Open to challenges, he joined Estudio Lamela arquitectos/LAM for new challenges such as big infrastructures like airports.

For my interest and passion, I am convinced that the appropriate design of each space improves the quality of life of the user. For this reason, I consider each new project as a personal challenge and I always aim for space production of the most high quality thanks to a dynamic architecture. Sociability, creativity, sense of organization and methodical sense are elements that characterize me.
