I am an Architect. Engaged in computational design, digital fabrication, and the poetry of architecture. 

As a tireless advocate for the continual pursuit of innovation, I aim to stay curious and continue to push our understanding of form and automation, using parametric technology to engage, empower, and transform across multiple disciplines and scales.

I work as Clio steel’s architect, improving designs and services for our customers through computational approaches, standing up digital fabrication methods, creating and maintaining models, to develop retractable Roof systems and on-boarding new design sets.

I was the Co-founder at NOAH Architects, where we were engaging in different projects around the MENA region

I am an Architect and i manage my own design office, in addition to professional experience i am a university instructor for design studio and computer courses and digital architectural visualisation.(Computer course coordinator at the Holy Spirit University- Kaslik)

 I am also an Authorised Instructor at Autodesk for AutoCad, 3DMax and Revit softwares.

I am also a holder of a Masters of Art in Contemporary Art.

Industrial and Commercial Buildings.

As a world Citizen, I believe that is possible to change the world in a balanced way through the education, in fully respect of the nature, with the objective of contributing positively, improving the quality of people life. So, it is important to understand Architecture as a factor of social inclusion and human heritage preservation, generating self employment and income to reduce extreme poverty, education and preservation of built environment (urban and rural), low-cost housing proposals, better collective services and infrastructure and mitigation of the climate change effects.

Architecture for people 

I have extensive experience as a lead architect for various projects of design, research and assessment in the field of architecture, interior, landscape and urban design.

My focus is on climate change and equitable human developments. My vision for 'green and sustainable' is beyond the tangible elements of human habitation. I believe that the sustainability of culture and tradition lies in the core values that are passed on from generation to generation.

I believe the synthesis of the sciences and the art in balance to how we inhabit the land is the highest form of expression.

My architecture focuses on the adaptation of each project in its own context with its own particular story. Also, my projects focus on humanity and climate change since architecture is for everyone, not just for privilege people. Therefore, the role of an architect is not only to build for rich and capable people, yet to everyone using specific architectural systems that will adapt to a specific situation. 

Elegance in design is crucial. However, there are many different ingredients assembeled all together in order to result with a good architectural project, and the social aspect is a major part of any project as well as sustainiblity and most importantly, the respect of nature and history. 

In our firm Zein Engineering we focus on several issues in the world such as scarcity of ressources, refugee crisis, displacement, immigration, poverty...etc.Well, Architecture could be the driving force to solve numerous problems in the world.  Also, Zein Eng. is recently commissioning several mega projects in Lebanon and the Gulf countries working with high-end projects and providing the best architecture possible for the client, for the context, and for society.
