My interest is primarily in a project's ideological and philosophical aspects as well as how a project is conceptualized uniquely in relation to the context. My focus is mainly research-based that takes into account participatory outcomes within a sphere of social justice concerning low-income communities, gender-sensitive approach, displacement, and equitable public space.

- residental architecture (5y focus in company)- civil architecture (academic focus, competitions and school projects) - integration of enviromental-friendly concepts and materials into the cities (free time activity) - the impact of jurysdiction and laws on building cities and architecture (work as Structural Referee of local autority office)

I’m currently head of Architecture Department in Pyramids Higher Institute for Engineering and Technology. My focus is in linking nature in Architecture, Human aspects in spaces, technology and new trends in Architecture.

I Focus on architecture and civil engineering .I inspired from Calatrava that he counted among architects with strong grip over engineering.The transition of Calatrava from small scale projects to major civic projects came through a competition in which he designed Zurich’s new train station. In early phase of his career, he gained fame as the architect of bridges. His engineering expertise helped him with getting through these projects and he made around 50 bridges right at the start. His asymmetrical bridge designs supported with concrete and steel and dramatic structures soon attracted worldwide attention and earned Calatrava a lot of international fame..

My architectural philosophy consists of finding the right balance between being innovative,responsive, financially and enviromentally aware, in order to make good architecture accessible to all.

My Design process consist of 3 things:

1. Understanding the context 
2. Responding to the user needs
3. Exploring new ways of resolving issues from the first two points

I believe Architecture should be pushing its boundaries and that each building should not just be a functional structure but a unique answer to a social, a contextual or even an economical problem.
