Introduction
I am currently an Assistant Professor at Al Hussein Technical University, Amman, Jordan. Obtained my PhD in architecture from Cambridge University, funded by the IsDB Cambridge International scholarship. Being a LEED AP and having had the experience to teach and practice architecture, in addition to leading many environmental awareness projects, have shaped my views on how important it is to approach sustainability from an interdisciplinary approach.

Motivated by a unique partnership with a client who wanted his house to be designed in a sustaina...
Recently, technological advancements in the sustainable design field have allowed us to reduce the ecological impact of the built environment, to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, to create healthy environments and in some cases may even rehabilitate the ecosystem.
