Saja FoundationCo-Founder and Director
May. 2018London, United KingdomThe Saja Foundation Brings Art Therapy to Cancer Wards and Supports Emerging Artists. Support Emerging Artists: We work closely with Outset Contemporary Art Fund,harnessing their expertise and knowledge of the UK and international art world. We aim to create alegacy by supporting artists in public institutions and facilitate the acquisition of their works to museums and galleries internationally. This will form the Saja Foundation Portfolio. As Outset’s partner our donations will not only help to fund these projects but also grant the Saja Foundation great exposure. We are forming new relationships everyday and will update you once our agreements are aligned. Provide Art Workshops and Therapy for Patients: In a cyclical scheme, we want to make an investment in people to do good. As a result, the supported artists and students will contribute to the Charity’s goals through involvement in art workshops at cancer wards in the UK and Lebanon. Additionally,a percentage of the funding will be used to provide professional art therapists. Our aim is to provide an artistic outlet for children and young adults to cope with the serious hardships that are associated with cancer.

Jan. 2015London, United KingdomEvery year, karim acts as a supervisor to architectural students. He helps support them on their journey towards their master's or PhD degrees. His foundation in Engineering, Biomimicry and focus on Architecture help students integrate and take advantage of building physics, natural elements, digital environments into their design and help support their creative expression.

By coordinating with the multi disciplinary teams, we can develop an integrated virtual model of the built environment and better predict its behavior and operating conditions. The use of optimisation algorithms in conjunction with parametric design opens up the doors to an unquantifiable set of optimised solutions that can only be processed through high performance computing. These tools and processes are at the heart of his fast response concept design tools that present the client with the highest quality of options for their development and the architects fast response to their design evolution. Karim has been taking over the MEP digital development and management within his group. By deploying innovative techniques, he is developing a digital infrastructure to connect multi disciplinary tools and pave the way for automation and multi-objective optimisation. These developments allow him to take over a higher workload while delivering better quality and faster output using his virtual workforce.

D-A-D-A: Engineering CreativityHead Engineer and Founder
Sep. 2010BEIRUTThe main focus of D-A-D-A, is to expose the illusive complexity of the physical world and extract certain tools that are vital to the bounding structure of a simple IDEA: The regeneration of the physical substrate that is our planet. The purpose of these explorations is to provoke new ways of adapting to our environment and forming synergetic relationships with our human, digital and environmental interactions. The geometrization of space, a fundamental discovery to the rise of modern science, plays an important role in the sensual perception and thermodynamic interactions within an enclosure. The quantum mechanical view of matter and light, originating in the search for the processes that drive the micro-universe, changes our understanding of perceived reality. The mathematical translations of our physical world introduces an un-quantifiable set of tools within our reach. They allow us to properly describe, adapt and manipulate the laws of physics to manifest our creative nature. The exponential growth of computational power and it's recent ever converging resemblance to human consciousness, guides us towards optimised solutions to our growing challenges. The study of organic elements and the nature of processes that act upon, within and through them, to enlighten us on the lost concept of architecture: Organizational structure and behavior of natural systems to thrive in an environment.
