Arzan Sam Wadia brings together the discipline of architecture, the curiosity of a storyteller, and the instinct of a community organizer.
Born and raised in Mumbai, India, Arzan’s early years were shaped by scouting, student leadership, civic engagement, and a lifelong connection to the Zoroastrian community. He studied architecture in India before continuing his academic and professional journey in Graz, Austria, Venice, Italy, and New York City.
Professionally, Arzan is a Senior Associate and Director of Information Technology at COOKFOX Architects, where his work bridges architecture, technology, communications, and practice-wide innovation. His project experience includes major urban and adaptive reuse work such as One Bryant Park, St. John’s Terminal, and Terminal Warehouse.
Alongside his architectural career, Arzan has held leadership roles across Zoroastrian institutions, congresses, youth forums, entrepreneurship platforms, media initiatives, and civic organizations.
