Emirjeta Taipi, AIA, LEED AP BD+C is the Director of Architecture at ThreeStudio Architecture & Engineering. She is known for her lateral thinking and her ability to translate complex, high-stakes challenges into clear, executable strategies. Equally comfortable in the details and at the 30,000-foot view, Emirjeta guides teams from concept through construction with a steady focus on accountability, clarity, and results.

Over the past 15 years, Emirjeta has led large-scale commercial, transportation, and education projects both domestically and internationally. Her experience includes work on the $1B Newark Airport Terminal 1 redevelopment, 980 Sixth Avenue in New York City, One Flagler in Florida, and major developments across the Middle East and North Africa. Across project types and scales, she has built a reputation for disciplined execution and strong stakeholder alignment in highly regulated environments.

A graduate of the City College of New York’s Spitzer School of Architecture, she remains engaged in academia as a guest critic and industry advocate. She is a regular panelist and moderator at the New York Build Conference and was honored as a 2019 Next Generation Builder by the Women Builders Council.

Today, Emirjeta is intentionally redefining what leadership in architecture can look like, exploring how systems, technology, and leadership models can reshape the future of the built environment.
