Ja Architecture Studio aims to investigate the core of architecture by operating at numerous points around its periphery.
With a primary interest in how iconographic, geometric, formal, and tectonic issues relate to broader contexts such as fabrication, construction, landscape and urbanism, the passionate team of skilled architects, designers, and students have achieved a significant repertoire of built works, research projects and award-winning competition entries. The latter includes fourth prize in the International Competition for the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau; Honourable mentions for their entries to both the Guggenheim Helsinki Competition and the International Competition for the Kaunas Concert Center and two Canadian Architects Awards.
Founding Principals Nima Javidi and Behnaz Assadi hold teaching positions at The Cooper Union’s Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture and The University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design respectively.
