fouad samara architects aim to produce ‘indigenous’ architecture derived from and is relevant to its cultural, social, physical, and economic context. the studio believes in applying a stringent process to develop architecture of integrity based on the brutalist idiom of ‘ethics not aesthetics’. their practice seeks a unique architectural solution for each and every project, void of any stylistic or branding preoccupation, and that aspires to the continuously fresh and relevant ‘l’esprit nouveau’ of the modern movement.
