Jayden Ali featured in The Observer
JA Projects and studio founder Jayden Ali are featured in The Observer, in a thoughtful profile by architecture critic Rowan Moore.
The piece offers a sweeping reflection on Jayden’s journey, from early experiences in youth work and grime culture to the evolution of JA Projects over the past five years. It traces a path shaped by community, creativity, and a deep engagement with the social and cultural contexts that inform the studio’s work.
Spending time both in the studio and out on site, Moore captures not only the trajectory of the practice but also the values that underpin it. As he writes: “The work of his practice [JA Projects]… responds to the range of his commissions and the lives that go on in them.”
We’re grateful to Rowan for the care and generosity of his approach—for creating space to reflect on and celebrate the communities, places, and projects that continue to inspire us every day.
