Chadi El Khoury

Associate Professor in Architecture

Chadi El Khoury is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Architecture – Design and Built Environment, Beirut Arab University since 2016. He studied architecture in Beirut and Rome. He graduated from “Sapienza” University of Rome with supervisor Laura De Carlo. In 2006 he began practice as a professional designer. In 2015 he received his Ph.D. in Architectural Design from “Sapienza” University of Rome with supervisor Antonino Saggio with the thesis: “Folding”. A morpho-semantic model to support the creative phase of the project. He began his teaching experience as an assistant to undergraduate courses at “Sapienza” University of Rome Faculty of Architecture while continuing the practice of the profession of designer. His professional interests include using varied architectural subjects such as architectural design, parametric architecture, material innovation and digital fabrication.

Activities

Activities:

Chadi El Khoury is the coordinator of the Independent Learning Club (ILC) in the Faculty of Architecture – Design & Built Environment. This Club is created for the students who want to affront the big thematic of the relationship between Information Technology and Architecture by technical, instructive and cultural nature. The (ILC) offer courses and tutorials to aware and enhance students to deal with parametric design and BIM software; that can be developed and focused on sustainable design or CAD/CAM technologies. In addition, our studies investigate the architectural potentials of robotic fabrication in wood construction. Thanks to the automated cutting machines and techniques that we include in our studies, it is now possible to create wooden structures with complex shapes and with moderate costs.
