السيرة الذاتية
Rayan Khalil is an architect and architectural researcher with over five years of experience in academic research and an equal tenure as a lecturer and design studio instructor. She began her teaching career at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Khartoum, as a teaching assistant, later serving as a lecturer at the National University, which holds accreditation from the British Accreditation Board.
Alongside her academic career, Rayan has built a long, intermittent practice in architectural and interior design, with her most recent project completed in Cairo, Egypt, in July 2024. She has also contributed as a researcher and writer with Studio Urban, collaborating on multidisciplinary projects with the Goethe-Institut and the British Council.
In addition to her architectural work, Rayan is an accomplished visual artist, having participated in numerous regional and international exhibitions, most recently in Doha in 2024. Her professional journey reflects a commitment to bridging architectural practice, research, and creative expression across diverse cultural and disciplinary contexts, combining scholarly depth with practical design expertise.
