Selected work · 2024 — 2026
01
An AI modelling agent that lives inside Rhino and builds real, layered geometry from a sentence or a reference image.
02
Masterplan options from a site boundary and nine structured prompt blocks — then zoned, rebalanced and flown through.
03
A twisted tower, panelled and rationalised — then a reinforcement-learning agent learns to open and fold its skin against the sun.
04
A self-organising map, written from scratch in C#, that lays out the space between iconic buildings.
05
Evolutionary optimisation of urban form — visualised by a diffusion model fine-tuned on Hejazi architecture.
06
The printed BArch portfolio — five years of architecture in eight chapters: housing, a cultural centre, urban design, two built projects, jewellery, fabrication.
Palestinian architect and computational designer, based in London. I write software for architects: C# for Rhino, PyTorch for façades, evolutionary solvers for cities, diffusion pipelines for visualisation.
