Actually, my architectural focus is on ideas and concepts laying behind the architectural product in any cultural society. I always eager to study the history of architecture from that point of view, other than studying its architectural product from its visual or formal values. I like to know and distinguish the cultural value that moves its architect to choose that way of designing and exclude others. 

That is why, I like to teach history and theories of architecture to make my students learn from others how to be innovative and creative, and be able to distinguish between human values and physical values.

Throughout my professional career i have had a diverse focus which has enabled me to enjoy the various facets of the design world. Including the following:

• Residential
• Interiors
• Universal Accesibility
• Heritage

Architektural & urban design | landscape & post-industrial design. 

working on the development of an innovative and responsible architecture, sustainable architecture, participative architecure, local architecture.
