Biography

I am an architect, educator and researcher specializing in architectural and urban heritage conservation, digital heritage and vernacular architecture. I serve as Director of the Digital Heritage Program and Lead Educator at the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wrth) in Riyadh, within the College of Cultural Heritage and Museology. My work includes curriculum development, teaching, research supervision and the application of digital documentation to heritage conservation. I hold a PhD from Université Jean Moulin Lyon III, where my doctoral research examined vernacular architecture and globalization in Jeddah’s Al Sharafeyah district. I previously served as Assistant Professor at King Saud University and Director of its Faculty Research Center. My research interests include heritage building information modelling (HBIM), GIS, photogrammetry and 3D documentation; conservation of earthen architecture and historic urban environments; heritage education and capacity building; and sustainable approaches to the built environment. My professional experience includes heritage documentation, urban regeneration, conservation planning and consultancy in Saudi Arabia.
