While studying architecture and in practice I have continued to develop various skills including ways of designing, looking at methodology and sketching. I am able to analyse the way I design through sketching, modelling and CAD programmes such as SketchUp. Presenting my work both verbally and visually and how to effectively compile a project from inception to completion on a presentation board has been an important part of project development. Sustainability through good design is something I am passionate about and was a central theme in my studies. Research into the local history of specific sites including planning policy and master planning formed the backbone to all projects. These were wide ranging in their type including residential, education and a number of these were mixed-use developments. My studies at AUB focused on the implementation of architectural theory in design methodology. Performativity in design methodology was the main theme of the course which was made up of various design projects exploring this theory of performativity: personal and urban scale and designing in response to economic and natural disasters.
