Research-in-practice and education. • Focus in the relationship of technology to architectural value and spirituality. • Modern technological thought has brought us to an impass not unlike the pandemic of 2020. We will not be able to continue as we have. • Need is to inform architects' role in coming change; responsibility far surpasses what we are today doing. • Ground of my work is to bring spiritual practice near to architectural practice and bring to the fore the original questioning nature of architectural practice that gives measure as architectural loci in tune with nature. • Facilitate transformative use of the findings of science that technology enables. 

• Sustainable Architectural Design.
•  challenges and opportunities in smart city designs.
• evolution of architecture  within specific cultural contexts including aspects of politics, society, religion and climate.
• dynamic interface between man and his environment through its constituent aspects and elements in Architecture.
• principles of architectural design.

Human is mortal and architecture is immortal my focus on architecture is to put a life in it with kinetics, sustainability and passive approach of heating cooling and ventilation systems.

Architectural Design and Computational Design

Parametric Architecture & Design

My architectural focus is combining the fasade design with the whole concept of the object.

The esthetic of the object should follow the meaning of the object. This is my first and main focus. In the same time I belong to that group of architects who think that the culture should reflect the way we build our reality and , but more than that it is how we build in order to change our way of living. So in this case I am curious to see if the students which will participate would consider to create their works in my terms ( esthetics and culture).
