Jeanne Autran-Edorh - Belgium

Jeanne is a French-Togolese architect and co-founder of Studio NEiDA, a practice established in 2023 across Brussels, Berlin and Lomé. She previously worked with several Pritzker Prize-winning studios, including Herzog & de Meuron, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, and Studio Francis Kéré. Her architectural practice, research and teaching focus on decolonial approaches, contextual and regenerative design, circularity, material innovation, and transdisciplinary methodologies.

In 2025, she co-curated Togo's first national pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale and the country's participation at the 24th Milan Triennale, bringing international attention to critical spatial issues across the West African region. That same year, she was named among the 50 Most Influential African Women in Architecture (2025 Edition) for her work at the intersection of architecture, culture and social justice. Studio NEiDA was selected among the 20 winners of the ArchDaily Next Practices Award 2025.

She currently teaches at KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture, where she leads the Master studios Geopolitics of Waste and There Is Not One Architecture.
