We are happy to announce our first 2026 Young Palestinian Architect Fellow 🎉
Amira Sayyad is a recent graduate in planning and design from Birzeit University based in Jerusalem. Her work explores memory, heritage, and the layered urban realities of Jerusalem through architecture, storytelling, and visual documentation. Interested in the relationship between space, identity, and lived experience, she approaches cities as places shaped by both physical environments and personal narratives. Alongside her academic work, Amira writes short stories and reflective pieces inspired by everyday life, city streets, and individual memory, treating writing as an extension of spatial practice. Through both visual and written forms, her work seeks to uncover overlooked stories and examine how people experience, remember, and connect to place, creating a dialogue between architecture, culture, and personal experience.
