Adept in using parametric tools, Kourosh’s experience has been focused on both the integration of architecture, landscape and infrastructure at an urban scale as well as finding solutions with precision and practicality for building envelopes which can be adapted for future expansion. Working across multiple scales and teams, Kourosh is a skilled collaborator and actively focuses on helping to generate cross-disciplinary design solutions.

Prior to joining ZHA, Kourosh worked at architectural practices in Austria and gained experience on education, residential, museum, theatre, and factory projects. He also established a rug design venture exploring generative design techniques; the work was subsequently acquired by the Centre Pompidou for its permanent collection.

Kourosh studied architecture at the Vienna University of Technology and earned his Master’s degree from the University of Applied Arts Vienna at Studio Zaha Hadid, including an exchange year at UCLA and SCI-Arc in the United States. He has taught digital fabrication methods at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and has served as a guest critic at the Vienna University of Technology.

Born in Iran and raised in Vienna, Kourosh has also lived in Los Angeles and Germany, shaping his appreciation for diverse architectural styles and urban environments. He enjoys art collecting and practicing Capoeira.
