I believe in Architecture as the Art and Science of Buildings. My BSc in Architectural Engineering, with my MSc in Sustainability and my PhD in Environmental Design of Buildings helped me in integrating the different engineering disciplines in the architecture design processes including the structure and construction considerations, electro-mechanical systems, Life safety package, and accessibility, materiality, passive and active systems. Moreover, a three years international training on sustainable teaching funded by the European Union and held in five European countries supported my teaching vision in Architecture. I used to apply Interdisciplinary, Holistic Approach, Inquiry-based learning, Problem oriented, Participatory/interactive teaching approach, Application oriented approached. I am into teaching and I believe that teaching is not only to fill the students’ heads by knowledge but also to let them think and to inspire them. To apply the previous teaching strategies, I employed the following techniques and methods in my teaching: Role-plays and simulations, Group discussions, Group works, Stimulus activities, Debates, Mental Maps, Critical Incidents, Case Studies, Critical reading and writing, Problem bases learning, Fieldwork and outdoor learning, Modelling good practice, and E-learning tools. As a result of my passion in teaching. I have achieved the status of Fellow (FHEA) In recognition of attainment against the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and learning support in higher education.

In addition to using the climatic analysis software such as: Weather Tool and Climatic Consultant and the simulation software such as: Autodesk Ecotect, Design Builder, HTB2, Energy Plus, in quantifying the effectiveness of the alternative architectural solutions, I participated in establishing several environmental laboratories in the UK at DSA, Egypt and KSA. Recently, I managed to design and establish an Environmental Laboratory “EDoB lab.” at Effat University through an external fund by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology “KACST”, which includes the “Heliodon” a tool for solar and shadowing analysis, the “Artificial Sky” a tool for lighting analysis for quality and quantity, digital micro-station to record the weather climatic data and hand held equipment and loggers to monitor and record all the internal parameter that affect the human thermal, and visual comfort.
