Architecture always presents opportunities for transformation; a transformation in our societies, in our environments, even in our aspirations. At Ashrafi & Zad, we believe that our collective values are substantiated through the places we invest in building, and by extension, architecture has the power to shape the way society sees itself. Regardless of what the future of architecture holds, it will be a reflection of who we are as a society and it will remain a backdrop to the passage of life.
