During the workshops I've attended in Europe and the Middle-East in urban planning and design, I have gained a background in the practical aspects of an open work environment. Throughout my university summer breaks, I have attained training positions in several well known architectural , design and implementation companies where I received first hand experience in organization and teamwork. I have received several awards while a student including the award for top of my graduating class in 2007. My experience as a teaching assistant for three semesters in Cairo University and British University in Egypt has provided me with the tools and ability necessary to add value to your team. In addition to the verbal communication skills and positive attitude I have gained through my practical experience, I have improved my ability to use programs to digitally illustrate my work.

Implications of Political Events on Space Morphology
“The Evolution of a city morphology is beyond complexity” - Brown (2006)
Throughout the history , the rise of a newly built city has always been debatable associated with civilization . Each civilization has its own features and characteristics, which act as genes shaping the city.
Similar features and characteristics of cities – genes, produce alike looking cities, while different characteristics – genes, produce differentiated morphology of a city. These genes of the city are defined as non-tangible aspects, and are made up from the culture, the religion, politics and economy and all other factors that affect the city morphology. The research focuses on the 'political' aspect.
