ME

Elias Xian

I’m an architectural thinker, storyteller, and space-maker. I believe that buildings are not silent—they speak. Not in words, but in light, in material, in memory, in the way a person moves through them and feels something they didn’t have words for.

​

My work exists between architecture and literature, between design and narrative. I am drawn to projects that ask difficult questions: How does space repair dignity? Can a building listen? What does healing look like in form? How can geometry carry faith, or a material tell the truth?
