Roula Salamoun is an architect and designer, founder of Extraground, a practice developing multidisciplinary projects. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture in Beirut ( American University of Beirut, 2007 ) and pursued her graduate research in New York City (Columbia University, 2011 ). Her interest in multi-scalar design, experiential design and material experimentation is explored through projects ranging from architecture to products and experimental installations. Her work has been published and exhibited in Lebanon, Finland, Italy, Jordan, China and the United States.
A subject she finds fascinating and is currently exploring through her collaboration with House of Today, is the relationship between the human body, space and the objects that occupy it. By introducing anthropomorphic landscapes in a domestic or familiar built environment, she invites the viewer to imagine an environment where bodies infuse in the tangible space as much as they affect the invisible one.
