Shahdia Jamaldeen

Shahdia Jamaldeen is an architect and artist specializing in modular structures, design-based solutions and creative documentation. Her work explores how explorative material knowledge can translate into meaningful spatial experiences, moving beyond visuals to become an active, integrated part of architecture and design. She is particularly drawn to seaweed and its processed forms, investigating their potential in everyday applications, from architectural elements and functional textiles to sculptural formations. Through hands-on testing of their material properties, she seeks practical ways through design thinking to embed seaweed-based solutions into daily life.
