Faysal Tabbarah

Associate Professor
Master of Architecture and Urbanism, Architectural Association’s Design Research Lab, UK

Faysal Tabbarah is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the American University of Sharjah. Tabbarah’s teaching and research interrogate the potential of activating Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) material and environmental practices to drive innovative contemporary design and building solutions by exploring context-driven modes of production, alternative material systems, and the relationship between environmental and architectural imaginaries.

At AUS, Tabbarah teaches core and option design studios, seminars integrate issues of Orientalism and the built and natural environments, computational design seminars, and required structures courses.
