Belinda Valenti, AIA, NCARB

Principal

Belinda brings her strengths in both design and management to leadership in architecture. With an active and hands-on approach, she guides teams from early design phases through delivery so that project visions are fully realized. Mentorship and collaboration are central priorities in how she practices architecture. During her time with Safdie Architects, Belinda has contributed to several significant projects including Hebrew College in Newton, MA, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Serena del Mar Hospital in Cartagena, Colombia, and the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, where she was in residence for its construction phase.

 

Belinda first joined Safdie Architects in 1998. Following the completion of the final phase of the Skirball Cultural Center in 2014, Belinda continued to work in California on commissions with other practices. She rejoined Safdie Architects in 2024 as Principal. Belinda earned a Master of Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is a registered architect in Massachusetts and California, where she maintains an active presence.
