Spaces that respect the past and embrace the future.
X+1 Studio is a design and research practice working across architecture, urban R&D, and computational design — from international competitions to heritage rehabilitation, drawn with drafting-table precision.
Ahmed Fouad Eid Ismail
Architect, urban enthusiast, and researcher with a deep passion for searching for the meaning of human identity. Actively engaged in architecture and urban rehabilitation internationally, striving to create sustainable, dynamic, inclusive spaces.
Graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University, and currently an MSc student in its Architecture Department, alongside a research and teaching assistance role at The American University in Cairo.
A practice where architecture meets experimentation.
We design sustainable, dynamic spaces that respect heritage while embracing the future. Every project begins with reading the city — data, syntax, and context — before a single line is drawn.
From international competitions to urban rehabilitation, X+1 Studio pairs architectural craft with computational tools and rigorous research to find the meaning behind human identity in the built environment.
Architecture & design
Concept-to-documentation design for buildings, sports and cultural projects, and international competitions.
Urban analysis & GIS
Space-syntax studies, ArcGIS / QGIS spatial analysis, and market-data leads to position projects in their context.
Computational R&D
Grasshopper-driven modeling, parametric workflows, and AI-assisted tools for heritage and conceptual design.
