Mohamad Nahleh

Mohamad Nahleh is an assistant professor of architecture at Ohio State University and founder of the architectural practice 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, he studies how communities facing colonial violence and ecological devastation mobilize darkness to forge worlds beyond the grip of oppression and pollution. 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.
