[Event Recap] Recently, our Head of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, Ahmed Tawakol, served as a Jury Member for the final Bachelor of Architecture Thesis Review at Manipal Academy of Higher Education - MAHE, Dubai, joining the academic assessment of graduating students from the School of Design & Architecture.
MAHE Dubai's Bachelor of Architecture programme is validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), recognized by the Council of Architecture, and accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists, reflecting its strong academic standing. As part of the final thesis review, Ahmed evaluated student projects, shared professional perspectives, and provided constructive feedback to support the next generation of architects as they refined their research, design thinking, and architectural proposals.
Academic engagement helps keep architecture connected to practice. By taking part in thesis reviews and design juries, Ahmed contributes to the exchange between education and the profession, supporting sharper thinking, stronger critique, and more relevant design conversations.
