Emad Alyedreessy, ARB

Emad Alyedreessy is a registered UK architect (ARB) and PhD candidate in Architecture at Northumbria University’s Department of Architecture and Built Environment. He holds a BA (Hons) in Architecture from the University of Plymouth, a Master of Architecture (MArch) from the Manchester School of Architecture and an Advanced Diploma in Professional Practice (ARB/RIBA) from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

In practice, he has contributed towards the design delivery of several high-profile, award-winning projects in the UK and internationally including UCL East Marshgate, Kuwait University College of Architecture, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, LSE Marshall Building, the New Museum of London and the AMAALA triple bay masterplan.

His research interests centre on evidence-based design and the interrelationships between spatial configurations and behavioural patterns within the built environment. His PhD thesis adopts a mixed-method approach to examine the influence of spatial configurations, space typologies and social trust on the development of solidarities and human behavioural patterns within large-scale purpose-built shared living (LSPBSL) buildings.

He has taught undergraduate students at Manchester School of Architecture and Lancaster School of Architecture, where he was an Associate Lecturer in the Architecture and Built Environment Department.
