How computational design, affective sensing and cultural-spatial cognition can integrate to produce environments that respond to human experience in real time.
I design environments that listen, respond and evolve with the people inside them.
Architectural tools excel at generating geometry and optimizing performance, yet often miss the human realities that give space meaning: identity, perception and emotional state. Affective computing can interpret behavior and emotion, but frequently stays disconnected from the built environment.
My work sits in that gap: developing responsive frameworks that translate emotional and perceptual inputs into dynamic spatial, material and media-based systems, adjusting light, media, acoustics or organization in response to emotional and behavioral cues, especially in cultural and public environments.
Generative and parametric systems as a logic for space, where rules encode human input and behavioral data.
Human-computer interaction and emotion sensing as active inputs, quantifying perception so it can operate within design systems.
Cultural and social behavior as the human-centered foundation for how connection and identity are shaped by, and shape, the spaces we occupy.
Design as a tool of cultural restoration — rooted in the Middle East, open to the world.
From a region where history echoes through pharaonic tradition, linguistic influence and layered narrative, I see an opportunity for design to amplify these stories beyond geographic boundaries. My commitment to the Middle East runs deep, and I remain equally open to international collaborations and opportunities wherever spatial environments can restore visibility and redefine connection between communities.
