Fairooz Alawami is a Saudi designer and dancer from AlQatif whose work explores the relationship between human movement, architecture, and digital technology. Her practice focuses on translating motion into spatial form, using artificial intelligence and computational tools to transform the trajectories of the body into physical structures.
She holds a Master of Building Science from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering from Penn State. Her engineering background allows her to approach design with both creative and technical awareness — listening to a site's conditions and translating them into form.
During her graduate studies at USC's School of Architecture, Alawami discovered computational design. Working with parametric modeling and digital fabrication tools allowed her to explore complex geometries and data-driven design processes, connecting creative intuition with technical precision.
Alongside architecture, dance has remained an essential part of Alawami's life. Using motion capture tools and computer vision models, she records her dances and extracts spatial data from the body as it moves through time — translating this into geometry using Rhino and Grasshopper. The forms that emerge exist somewhere between sculpture and architecture.
She is currently a Design and Development Associate at Olayan Real Estate Company / HAJ Gulf in Riyadh, collaborating with leading architectural firms across education, commercial, and residential projects.
