I believe architecture begins with a bold idea and a practical solution that serves people. I have designed a fish market on Jeddah's sea, two mosques in Diriyah, towers and sculptures, and learned something new from each.

Who I am. An architect who graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Planning at King Abdulaziz University in 2025, after training at the faculty's House of Expertise (summer 2023) and Sabbagh Engineering Consultants (summer 2024).

What I design. Mixed-use buildings, urban design, mosques, sculptures, and pavilions for exhibitions and events. I draw in Revit and AutoCAD and render in Lumion and D5 Render.

Where I work. Architect at Aura Spectrum in Jeddah since January 2026, and a lecturer at the university teaching computers for environmental design to first-year students. Before that, KN Design Studio and LINE Architects.

How to reach me. Write to manafbashnini@gmail.com, call 0546688902, or find me on LinkedIn, for a project, a competition or a collaboration.

Portrait of Manaf BashniniManaf Abdulqader Bashnini, an architect who enjoys simplicity. I aim for realistic designs that reflect who I am and leave an impact on the community they are built for.

Outside the studio I organised and designed faculty events: Campusthon, three editions of the annual college exhibition, Founding Day, National Day, the Media Planning Workshop and GIS Day.
