     Site Visit

The IDE students have visited Shiakh Ebrahim Centre for Culture and Research accompanied by Dr. Aseel Abdulsalam Al-ayash (HOD) and Dr. Anis Semlali. This site visit was within Refurbishment, Finishes and Furnishing and Passive and Active Environmental Design courses. It was useful trip as the students have an idea about the materials of traditional building and the integrated between past and modern design.

The goal of this trip was to give an opportunity for students to see the refurbishment of old building with new finishes in real life and observe the using passive methods in traditional building and how the structure of old residential spaces was and renovated in modern style.
