Architect Nader Ardalan leads an architecture firm with a long and distinguished international career in planning, architecture and historic preservation. He is a recognised expert in the field of environmentally sustainable and culturally relevant design with a particular focus on Islamic countries.
His lecture focused on commissioned research on the future of urbanism in coastal regions, on a sustainable basis, both environmentally and socio-economically. The coastal region has been selected since coastal cities have an impact on each other through the water body, regardless of their own country, and Gulf region is on a key geopolitical location, amidst global trade routes and with substantial natural resources.
