Sara Kamalvand

Sara Kamalvand is an artist and an architect based in Paris. In 2012 she founded HydroCity to conduct research projects on the qanat, an ancient and abandoned irrigation network in Iran for which she produced workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and publications. 


Her work questions the reorientation of urban protocols, and alternative scenarios around infrastructure, resources and public space. Architecture serves as a method to find new tools and forms by generating critical research through design work that may include completed projects, proposals, possible realities and alternatives.
