Bio: Ar. Aisyah Razin is an emerging Malaysian architect redefining leadership with clarity, conviction, and just the right amount of chaos. As Technical Director at TriArch Architects Sdn Bhd (formerly S&A Architects), she oversees a range of architectural works, with recent focus on high-rise residential developments - balancing design integrity with real-world complexity. A 2023 PAM 40under40 honouree, she’s also a part-time tutor at University of Malaya and a dedicated mentor to young architects through her growing #Part3Playbook series, where she shares unfiltered lessons from site to studio. Outside work, she pours her heart into resin art and motherhood, believing that creativity and care are both forms of architecture. For Aisyah, leadership isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being present, building with empathy, and lifting others as you climb.
