Samer El Sayary is a practicing architect and Assistant professor in Beirut Arab university since 2014 and previously in Alexandria University since 2011. He pushes the boundaries of experimental design to discover new realms in architectural design without forgetting the aroma of his Mediterranean roots, his design manifesto could be summarized as to dig deep in the knowledge and science accumulated through thousands of years in our region to capture hidden values and intangible strengths of our legacy, then develop those values and strengths using cutting edge technologies to create a state or art architecture that carries the spirit of the past, not in its shape or form, but in its core essence and finally learn future generation how to use technology to develop their Heritage. In general he has been awarded 23 times in both national and international architectural competitions till the year 2016, He was the first Architect who received the prestigious Hassan Fathy Award twice in 2011 & 2013.
