Goli Jalali, is an architectural designer and structural engineer based in London and Vancouver. Her work uses cultural artifacts to reconstruct and narrate history. Her thesis at the Harvard Graduate School of Design explored the idea of a contemporary image of paradise in the Iranian imagination by using “Persian Carpets” and “Persian Paintings” as tools for designing architecture.

She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, where she teaches an option studio titled “The Magic Carpet.” She received a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in civil engineering with distinction from the University of British Columbia, a Master of Science in Emergent Technologies and Design from the Architectural Association in London, and a Master of Architecture from Harvard.

These three organizations work collaboratively on buildings, installations, and public programs across various scales of space and place with a focus on dis-invested cities and communities. Prior to his work with those entities, Chris worked for Gray Organschi Architects in New Haven, CT and Amory Architects in Boston, MA. He holds a B.A. in Mathematics from Amherst College and a an M.Arch. from the Yale School of Architecture.
