Architect

Naval Architect

I am an Architect. Engaged in computational design, digital fabrication, and the poetry of architecture. 

As a tireless advocate for the continual pursuit of innovation, I aim to stay curious and continue to push our understanding of form and automation, using parametric technology to engage, empower, and transform across multiple disciplines and scales.

I work as Clio steel’s architect, improving designs and services for our customers through computational approaches, standing up digital fabrication methods, creating and maintaining models, to develop retractable Roof systems and on-boarding new design sets.

I was the Co-founder at NOAH Architects, where we were engaging in different projects around the MENA region

Architect exploring design, writing and photography. Telling stories of people and place. Hued in the colours of the palette of Africa.

ounded in 2014 by architects Matthieu Busana and Sébastien Dachy, MAMOUT explores a practice of architecture based on multidisciplinary and research-by-design. They develop projects of various scales and programs, mostly located in urban environment. They use physical paper models, graphic design and photography to explore themes like materiality, light and scenography.
