Lucinda Anis is an award-winning British-Egyptian architect, artist, designer, illustrator, and urban researcher. Her work examines the connections between architecture, memory, and cultural identity, with a specific emphasis on women's spaces in the Middle East and North Africa.

 Lucinda studied architecture at the University of Bath and completed her Master’s in Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Cambridge. Her research focused on contemporary female monastic traditions in Egypt, culminating in a project titled "The Veiled Renaissance." This initiative reimagines sacred spaces through the lens of women's resilience, faith, and community. The project received nominations for the RIBA Silver President’s Medal and the European Masters Awards, and her insights have been featured in both The Guardian and The Observer.

She started her professional career at Foster + Partners, where she developed her skills on high-profile architectural projects, effectively combining technical expertise with cultural sensitivity.

Lucinda's work harmoniously integrates drawing, design, illustration, and storytelling. She views architecture as more than a means of construction; it serves as a tool for listening, tracing forgotten narratives, and translating them into visual and spatial forms.

Her contributions have been recognised by publications such as the RIBA Journal and events like the London Festival of Architecture. Additionally, she has served as a juror for the Tamayouz Excellence Award, emphasising her dedication to promoting architectural excellence.

Lucinda is also a co-founder of Kommune Studio, a design think tank and collective that links communities and policymakers through interviews, journals, public installations, and storytelling, fostering meaningful dialogue and social impact.
