Portrait of Mohammad Rayan Amanzadegan, architect and AI researcherMohammad “Rayan” Amanzadegan
RA

An architect connecting design intelligence with real human experience.

Mohammad Amanzadegan, professionally known as Rayan Amanzadegan, Reza Amanzadeh and Rayan Arman, is an architect, AI researcher, university lecturer, author, entrepreneur and design technology strategist.

Born 3 December 1992 Professional identity Mohammad “Rayan” Amanzadegan

His architectural practice spans concept design, schematic development, spatial programming, design direction, interior architecture and visual communication. He approaches architecture through spatial identity, user experience and the disciplined development of ideas into buildable design systems.

His technology work connects artificial intelligence, computational and generative design, BIM interoperability, real-time 3D, AR, VR and digital product development—always positioning technology as support for professional judgment, not a substitute for it.

Explainable AI for Design

Decision-support systems that show why one architectural option performs better, keeping the architect in control.

02

CAD/BIM-Ready Intelligence

Moving from early spatial ideas toward structured, editable outputs and stronger Revit, AutoCAD and IFC interoperability.

03

Spatial Computing & Digital Twins

Connecting BIM, real-time 3D, AR, VR, XR and digital twins for design review, education and interactive building experiences.

04

Responsible Professional Education

Practical AI training for architects and students that pairs speed with source checking, human judgment and design accountability.
