Gensler has announced the appointment of Steven Velegrinis as Design Director for its Middle East operation. Velegrinis will play a global role with an initial focus on the MENA region and an emphasis on KSA.
Velegrinis has 30 years of experience as an urban planner, designer, and landscape architect. His interests and work revolve around the idea of ecological urbanism, and sustainable and resilient cities and places. With large-scale, recent projects such as the NEOM landscape strategy and guidelines, the Al Arous masterplan in Jeddah, and the Wadi Safar masterplan in Riyadh, Velegrinis is well placed to build upon Gensler’s current Master Planning practice.
