Riham Nady is a Professor at the Department of Architectural Engineering in Pharos University in Alexandra (PUA), Egypt. Her main research interests are environmental studies.

The project demonstrates a well-conducted site analysis and a thorough study of the surrounding context. However, the plan resolution is low, which affects its clarity and readability. Overall, it is a good project that successfully integrates architectural design with urban design.

A strong and well-researched regenerative proposal that successfully connects ecological restoration with community livelihoods and public space. Its greatest strength is the systemic relationship between water, mangroves, waste, fisheries and architecture. Further technical validation and a sharper architectural synthesis would strengthen the project considerably

Restoring fragmented ecologies: reimagining Pallikaranai marshland

The proposed intervention zone focuses on reconnecting the fragmented wetland network of Pallikaranai Marsh through the restoration of lost feeding channels, revival of historical drainage pathways, and strengthening of blue-green corridors. By re- establishing these ecological linkages, the proposal seeks to enhance water movement, biodiversity exchange.

EMBRACING THE TEMPORAL SCAR: “REVITALIZING POST-INDUSTRIAL LANDFORMS THROUGH ECOPOIETIC DESIGN”

This thesis reimagines an abandoned Navi Mumbai quarry as a healing ecosystem. Balancing urban growth and biodiversity, the project uses Rhino and Voronoi systems to integrate Miyawaki forests and wetlands into the terrain. The result is an evolving civic landscape where architecture is secondary, prioritizing natural ecological succession and resilience.

From Fragility to Resilience: An Integrated Approach to Coastal Settlement on Kutubdia Island

This thesis focuses on Kutubdia Island, where climate change is already causing severe land loss, displacement, and livelihood insecurity. Recognizing that relocation is not feasible for many residents, the study explores how architecture can support resilient, adaptive, and sustainable communities while preserving local livelihoods and social ties.
