Niloufar Alenjery is a registered architect and educator whose work navigates the intersections of architecture, cultural memory, and spatial imagination. Holding a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architecture, she brings a globally informed perspective to her practice and academic work. As a licensed architect in New York State, Niloufar has contributed to a range of projects, from large-scale developments in Tehran to various urban interventions in the United States. Her research and creative practice examine how architecture evolves as a language inscribing memory, time, and cultural narratives, challenging the conventional boundaries of physical and imagined spaces. Her approach is grounded in phenomenology and employs a poetic method of design that investigates how architecture can resurrect lost histories and construct new spatial narratives. Niloufar is also committed to advancing critical discourse in architectural pedagogy by promoting an interdisciplinary framework that incorporates literature, poetry, philosophy, and visual arts into the architectural curriculum. Through her teaching and installation art, she explores themes of memory, political othering, and embodied experience, exemplified by her recent installation, “Fallen Voices 9/11,” accepted into the National September 11 Memorial & Museum’s online registry.
