Khaled’s research interests are between Architecture and Computer science. Currently is an associate at the Applied Research and development (ARD) group at Foster + Partners in addition to tutoring at the Bartlett school of architecture, University College London. He holds a master degree in architecture computation from University College London. His recent work bridges the gap between architecture practice and research, applying state-of-the-art technological innovation to complex design challenges with expertise in optimization, fabrication, robotics, virtual reality and data visualization. He recently worked on multiple state of the art architecture projects like the mobility pavilion for Dubai expo and the UAE pavilion for Milan expo.
Design by research
Research is a big drive for innovation pushing the limits of what is possible. The lecture will follow how we teach innovative techniques from the world of computer science and programming to designers at the Architecture Computation course at UCL, to how we apply research to real world problems to inform our designs process at the Applied Research and Development group at Foster and Partners, With examples from projects like the UAE Pavilion at Milan expo and the New Mexico City airport.
