Nadim Karam (born in 1957 in Senegal) is a Lebanese multidisciplinary artist and architect based in Beirut. He studied architecture at the American University of Beirut, then pursued postgraduate studies in Japan, where he developed a keen interest in urban space and philosophy.

He is renowned for his ability to combine art, architecture, and public installations to create playful and internationally acclaimed urban projects.
