MEAN, recognized by ArchDaily as one of the Best New Practices of 2024, is reshaping Middle Eastern architecture by blending computational design and local heritage. Founded in 2016, the studio's work includes everything from experimental furniture to urban interventions, emphasizing site-specific solutions that use advanced tools such as AI and 3D printing. Their philosophy, articulated by founder Riyad Joucka, focuses on transcending nostalgia to formulate contemporary interpretations of vernacular forms, asserting a thoughtful integration of technology and tradition.
Named one of ArchDaily's Best New Practices in 2024, the Middle East Architecture Network (MEAN) redefines the regional architectural landscape through innovative designs combining technology and heritage.
The studio seeks to balance cutting-edge technology with local cultural context, developing architectural solutions that resonate with the Middle Eastern identity while also pushing contemporary boundaries.
