Mohamad Nahleh
Mohamad Nahleh is Assistant Professor of architecture at the Ohio State University and founder of Nightrise. His work confronts imperial and capitalist regimes of illumination by reclaiming night as a primary site for architectural and political inquiry. Through writing and building as entwined practices, he studies how communities facing colonial violence and ecological devastation mobilise darkness to forge worlds beyond the grip of oppression and pollution.
His scholarship appears in Places, The Avery Review, The Funambulist, and Volume, and his forthcoming book with Columbia Books on Architecture and the City is supported by the Graham Foundation as well as fellowships from the Journal of Architectural Education and MacDowell. Nahleh holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the American University of Beirut and a Master of Science in Architecture Studies from MIT, where he also taught for several years.
