Sara Ayoub is a licensed architect (HMONP) graduated from ENSA Paris-La Villette in 2019. Her practice articulates architecture, design, and material research around what persists in architecture when time, gesture, or technique transforms it. She develops NeoRuins, a research framework using erosion as an active design tool, pursued in residence at Art Omi (New York, 2026), at the Adobe Archipelago with Ronald Rael (Colorado, 2026), and currently at La Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris, 2026). As a researcher in the 3D Printing Architecture (3dPA) at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, she co-built Teixit, presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2025), and co-authored a research paper presented at the INHA (2024). She designed scenographies for Dar Bellarj Foundation Archéologies (Marrakech, 2026) and for Macaal (Marrakech, 2026).
