Sam Sabzevari—RAIC Student Medal & RAIC Honour Roll
About the Award
RAIC Student Medal:
For a student graduating from a professional degree program in each accredited University School of Architecture in Canada who, in the judgment of the faculty of the respective School, has achieved the highest level of academic excellence and/or has completed the outstanding final design project/thesis for that academic year.
RAIC Honour Roll:
For those students who have achieved high academic standing in the top 10% of their graduating class.
Let the story keep rolling!
Narrative making is the human ability to imagine, modify, and question myths, dreams, and desires; evolving cyclical journeys of challenging the present to draw a future.
For a fleeting world, every creative production of an era responds to its grand narrative until it escalates to a time where the exchange of ideas moves faster than those who produce them. Landing on the age of the circuit, this thesis looks at a narrative shaped around incalculable reproductions mediating the world of human
performative modes of operation and the algorithmic atmosphere of digital exchange. The Caravanserai, introduced as a narrative architecture typology from the age of the wheel, makes the architectural basis of a contemporary reading that can be applied to the age of the circuit.
Established on experimental prompts of developing a narrative architecture, the new reading of the environment is described as a vessel among a place of exchange, a home, and an archive meant to be interpreted as open threads of making spatial scenarios.
As a designer, author, and architect, I’ve traversed a journey that spans continents, disciplines, and perspectives. With a foundation in architectural engineering from University of Tehran School of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture from Toronto Metropolitan University, my work delves deeply into the narrative potential of spaces—how they embody stories, foster connection, and evolve beyond static definitions. From theoretical exploration to hands-on experiences I’m dedicated to shaping environments that resonate on multiple levels.
Winning the RAIC Student Medal and the RAIC Honour Roll is a profound honor that affirms this journey and my commitment to architecture as a living, breathing craft. I am grateful to everyone who supported my work and encouraged my belief that architecture, at its best, is a dialogue—a shared story that grows with each perspective it touches. Thank you for this recognition and for inspiring me to continue crafting spaces that speak.
