Why global communities feel emotionally thin | Neda Salmanpour, Iran

In this episode, we sit down with Iranian architect and designer Neda Salmanpour to explore the kind of depth you rarely find in global communities. Neda takes us inside the world of Islamic architecture — where geometry and mathematics shape patterns we often mistake for pure ornament.

She explains why the beauty of Islamic design isn’t improvisation, but precision. We also talk about what “home” really means (and why it has nothing to do with walls), how Iranian culture trains people to think with incredible depth, and why conversations with Iranians feel fundamentally different from the surface-level speed of international life.
