Lobna Sana is a Bedouin Palestinian architect and artist from the Naqab.

Living and working across the Naqab and Jerusalem, she has used art spaces as laboratories for the architecture she envisions for a world on the edge of collapse—testing collective building methodologies and autonomous infrastructures.

Her work has been recognized with several grants and awards, including the Graham Foundation Grant (2023–2025), which supported the continuation of her Planning Letters project and the development of a built prototype emerging from this research.

She has collaborated closely with Bedouin villages, grounding her practice in lived experience and collective memory—knowledge she carried with her to London.

This year, she began her MFA at the Royal College of Art, focusing on the loom as an architectural tool and a site of knowledge production.

Her research reclaims the historical role of Bedouin women as architects—builders of homes and sustainers of life through weaving.

Lobna is developing a spatial “skin,” where songs surface through the process, positioning textile practice as both structure and story within future architectural and sonic imaginaries.
