BURAU is a trans-disciplinary practice, founded in 2016.

It was spontaneously launched after winning "Revisiting Dalieh" competition, which addressed urgent and contemporary ecological, sociological and environmental matters that remain at the center of our framework.

Our work emerges from a dynamic and inclusive platform that promotes collaborations towards an integrative approach.

Our vision drives its strength from a strong contextual approach to every disciplinary project: products, landscapes, buildings, spaces, art, cities or other.

Our team is flexible, global and adaptive. We expand when and where each project takes us.

 

Lea Helou
Architect / Co-founder


Lea believes in the process of observation and adaptation. As an altruist thinker, her interests and research is to connect design explorations with human and socio-cultural emergencies. She constantly rethinks her role as an architect part of ever-changing conditions and emerging needs. Her approach encompasses both the necessity of strategic interventions and the flexibility of social production of space.

Lea graduated from the American University of Beirut with a degree in architecture in 2008. She has taught at the Lebanese American University and is currently teaching at ECAR.

Candice Naim
Architect / Co-founder

She graduated from the American University of Beirut with distinction in 2007, and pursued a Master in Architecture and Urban Design in Columbia University, New York in 2010.
During her academic path, she won multiple awards: The Azar award (rewarding excellent design skills at AUB), the Creative Achievement award (rewarding exceptional design creativity for her Final Year Project at AUB) and the postgraduate William Kinne Fellows Traveling Prize (granted by Columbia University).

She teaches architecture and urban design programs at the American University of Beirut, Lebanese American University, Notre Dame University and ECAR.

Candice is strongly concerned about our depleting natural resources and decaying waterfronts environment. She positions complex contemporary interventions in a collaborative process towards sensitive and infinite self-sustainable cycles of habitat and exchange.
