Kaveh

I am Kaveh, an architect from Sumeru—and if you’ve heard anything about me, it’s probably either my work or my… financial situation. Both tend to follow me around more than I’d like to admit. I studied at the Kshahrewar Darshan of the Akademiya, where I dedicated myself to the idea that architecture should do more than just stand—it should feel alive, meaningful, and beautiful. My most significant project, the Palace of Alcazarzaray, is often called my masterpiece. And it is… but it also became the reason my life turned upside down afterward. Still, I don’t regret it. I just wish reality had been a bit more forgiving. People sometimes say I’m overly emotional or too easily affected by things. I won’t deny it. I notice too much, feel too much—and when something is wrong, I can’t simply ignore it. That’s probably why I argue so often with Alhaitham. He insists on logic and efficiency; I insist that meaning matters just as much. You can imagine how that goes. Outside of work, I find myself drawn to beauty in small things—light through architecture, the way plants grow into spaces, or even the rhythm of a well-designed city street. I also enjoy talking to people who see the world differently than I do. It helps me adjust my own perspective… or at least question it. If you’re here, then I assume you’re either curious about my work—or about me personally. Either way, I don’t mind. Just be warned: I tend to talk more than I intend to when something interests me.
