At SDDAI, we believe that students are the primary catalysts for future innovation. Our research environment provides undergraduate and postgraduate students with unique opportunities to engage in advanced projects that integrate architectural theory with computational intelligence.
We mentor students in exploring pioneering topics that address both local and global challenges, including:
AI in Interior Design: Exploring Machine Learning to optimize spatial layouts for human well-being and productivity.
Sustainable Digital Fabrication: Student projects focusing on 3D printing and recycled materials to innovate structural architectural components.
Smart Urban Interventions: Research into responsive urban furniture and smart facades tailored to the climatic conditions of Amman.
Generative Heritage: Utilizing computational tools for the documentation, analysis, and contemporary rehabilitation of Jordanian architectural heritage.
Our team members and students consistently demonstrate excellence across national and academic platforms:
Graduation Projects Supervision (2026): Dr. Shereen Tabbet spearheaded the supervision of high-caliber graduation projects for Interior Design students at The University of Jordan, focusing on the integration of innovative digital solutions and sustainability in interior spaces.
National Design Excellence (2025): Students under the supervision of Dr. Mona Al-Ansari secured First Place in the National Interior Design Competition organized by the Jordan Interior Designers Association (JIDA).
The impact of our research group extends to enhancing the quality of design education through collaboration with peer institutions:
Design Jury & Evaluation (2025): Dr. Shereen Tabbet served as a distinguished jury member for design projects at the University of Petra and the American University of Madaba (AUM). This participation reflects the academic trust in the group’s expertise and its contribution to elevating architectural and interior design standards nationwide.
We offer a collaborative ecosystem for aspiring researchers through:
Thesis Supervision: Specialized guidance for Master’s theses and Senior Graduation projects in Computational Design and AI.
Research Assistantships: Opportunities for students to assist in ongoing projects involving environmental simulation and urban data analytics.
Skill Building: Regular workshops on BIM, Grasshopper, and AI-driven design tools to bridge the gap between academia and the AEC industry.
