Ahmed Helal is an architecture graduate from The City College of New York. In 2022, Ahmed completed his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at the top of his class with a GPA of 3.98 and was the valedictorian of his class. Upon graduation, He received the AIA medal of academic excellence. Ahmed has been studying architecture for the past 8 years between Cairo, London, Volos, and New York. He studied in three different schools of architecture before The Spitzer School in NYC. He attended MSA University in Cairo, Egypt, Greenwich University in London, England, and the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece. Ahmed has always been involved in pursuing architecture outside the academic sphere, he participated in various architecture competitions, as well as practicing architecture as an intern.

Throughout his academic journey, Ahmed was interested in how architecture crossed paths with other fields that interested him, such as photography, filmmaking, and philosophy. While photography and filmmaking were assets to him in ‘how’ to do things, philosophy responded to the ‘why’ things should be done.
