Co-Founder, Partner Architect & General Manager

Anastasia graduated from the American University of Beirut with a BA in architecture. She is a founding partner of YTAA, and currently works on the evolution of the firm’s architectural concepts alongside Youssef Tohme. “For me it is important to express the knowledge that architecture can never be stagnant. It is about exploring options, and about opening dialogue - architecture is a constant conversation. Of the projects I’m working on, often the most interesting deliver contradictions – they represent the introvert and the extrovert; the conflicting characteristics that we possess within ourselves. We live in a world that is changing faster than ever. In recent years architecture has seen an increasing speed of evolution, but today it feels we are on the verge of a revolution. Now is the time to impose and experiment, and to push for a new design scenario. Architecture empowers us to be in control of our dreams.”
