CV/RESUME
Yalda started her education in Iran where she has studied architecture. She
has worked as an architect for a London-Tehran based architecture office before
moving to Europe to continue her education. From 2012 to 2014, she has
studied European Urban Studies in Brussels, Vienna, Copenhagen, and Madrid.
She has studied with students from different backgrounds, ranging from
psychology to geography. During her studies, she has worked on a multitude
of projects, always in multidisciplinary groups with her fellow students.
Having lived and studied in different countries has given her a rather broad
understanding of the urban condition. This multifaceted perspective together
with her curiosity and voraciousness for reading is her best asset for urban
design projects.
She tries to adopt an ever more holistic approach to urban design and her
interest covers a broad spectrum including bottom-up planning, community
empowerment, urban informality, social sustainability, participatory planning and
so on.
