I am Dima Zahran, an architect from Palestine with three years of professional experience, passionate about research and interdisciplinary exploration, focusing on architectural heritage and self-organizing systems in the built environment. I am committed to understanding how spatial forms emerge through decentralized processes and to documenting these phenomena within cultural and historical contexts. I currently freelance as an architect and performer (since 2023) and teach as a tutor for first-year students at SCE School of Architecture (2021–2025). My previous roles include working at Kimmel Eshkolot Architects in Tel Aviv and at Project Studio in Tel Aviv. I am proficient with AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, Lumion, Twinmotion, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere, and I enjoy exploring how architectural form can arise from collaborative, cross-disciplinary processes.
