About
Anahita’s work is focused on exploring the transformative pathways toward sustainability in the built environment, particularly through the lens of social-ecological resilience. Her approach to built environment and urban planning centers on how actors in this space—whether individuals, institutions, or communities—organise and act in response to the complex challenges posed by future crises. This organising process involves creating practical tools and frameworks that help practitioners and policymakers within the built environment adapt and evolve amidst growing uncertainties.  Although the built environment is a physical and tangible space, Anahita's work visualises how sustainability perceptions, motivations, and actions interconnect to create broader systemic change. In this way, she is painting conceptual landscapes that reveal alternative approaches to resilience and sustainability. By collaborating with both academic and non-academic partners, Anahita co-creates knowledge that bridges theory and practice, ultimately leading to innovative solutions that can be integrated into urban environments and planning processes.
