Postdoctoral researcher
Hazem Ziada, PhD, is an architectural-urban historian, an educator and a registered architect in Egypt. He holds a PhD in Architecture from Georgia Institute of Technology (2011). His main research probes the spatial morphology and history of political practices. The study of Cairo (Egypt ) has been a primary thread in this research work. He has explored the city in terms of the evolution of its urban form, spatial typologies, social movements, its fiction literature and how its fabric is shaped by its architecture. He has taught and led programs in US and UK schools of architecture and art history since 2000.
