Ekam Singh Sahni is a designer and writer working across spatial design, research, and critical writing, with a focus on identity, memory, and cultural ritual in contemporary urban life. His work moves between built projects, speculative design, and text, often blurring disciplinary boundaries. Based in New York City, he approaches architecture as a narrative and social medium, exploring how space carries tradition, community, and meaning.

He holds an M.Arch. from Pratt Institute, where he was a Thom Mayne Young Architects Graduate Teaching Fellow, and is a fellow of AN’s New Voices in Architectural Journalism. His writing and projects have appeared in New York Review of Architecture, The Architect’s Newspaper, Kooz/arch, the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, and the Seoul Biennale 2024, and in Queer Spaces (RIBA). He works with Ismael Leyva Architects and has previously worked with Ensamble Studio, New Affiliates, and vi.r.mueller architects, and holds a B.Arch. gold medal from Sushant School of Art and Architecture.
