Meherzad Shroff is an architectural practitioner, researcher, and educator based in Adelaide, Australia. He founded Archispora.Studio in 2017. He has completed a PhD by Design which focuses on Adaptive Reuse and Intangible Heritage. He also holds a position as a Sessional Lecturer and Tutor at the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Adelaide.
Over the past decade, Meherzad has been involved in designing and curating several exhibitions on the history of architecture and the built environment. Most recently his work was exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 where he designed the ‘Country Demapped’ element for the Australian Pavilion based on an interpretive graphic mapping of Queenstown in Tasmania.
Meherzad’s spatial practice seeks to unite the concerns of culture and sustainability in architecture. It thus explores aspects of intangible heritage, construction history, design research, material sustainability and digital fabrication — continuously strives to push the boundaries of architectural innovation as well as cultural production and preservation.
