I am a Landscape Architect / Landscape Urbanist with 7 years of experience interested in addressing the design of the environmental, social, economical aspects of a city and territorial scale projects which can have impacts on the present global issues.
After receiving recognition for my final-year project in the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture programme in 2017, which focused on integrating green infrastructure solutions with public spaces at a territorial scale, and working for two years as a landscape architect, I discovered my passion for leading landscape-led masterplanning projects that address global challenges. This realisation inspired me to pursue a Master’s in Landscape Urbanism at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.
My Passion for Landscape Urbanism comes from my interest in exploring the relation between data, landscape, culture, and green sustainable infrastructures among diverse scales.
My design approach focuses on addressing site complexity through a process that explores existing site features using data research, spatial analysis, assessments, community and client engagement, simulations, and coordination. This process informs the development of masterplan design strategies through sketching and the use of various computational platforms. It ensures that the design is holistic, taking into consideration heritage, ecology, community, and the urban or rural context.
Through my professional experience I have worked on a variety of project scales which focuses on public realm schemes. I have focused on providing spaces that can be used by the community, promote sustainable solutions for the environment, and enhance the economy of the space. These projects ranged in scales, from working on detailed design for projects such Silvertown Quays, to providing detailed landscape design in urban masterplans in Okaz City in Saudi Arabia, to developing research, analysis, guidelines, design toolkit, and strategies for territories projects such as AlUla while also designing a series of smaller projects which align the wider vision of the masterplan.
I am also finishing my chartership with the Landscape Institute.
