Before founding KSS, Saleh practiced with BRUTHER architects, a french studio known for its exploration of
lightness, temporality, and flexibility in architecture. Under the guidance of Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre

large-scale housing developments to ephemeral light structures.
Prior to moving to Paris, Saleh practiced in Los Angeles with Morphosis Architects, under Pritzker Prize
laureate Thom Mayne. In this role, he contributed as a project designer on significant institutional and
commercial projects, including the Yangtze River International Conference Center in China and several large
master plans in the Middle East.
Saleh earned his graduate degree at the Harvard Garduate School of Design and his bachelor’s at the
Southern California Institute of Architecture. During his studies, he received the Blythe & Thom Mayne Thesis
