IALD Middle East - Illuminating Architecture

Event Promotional Image
Join us for the next edition of Illuminating Architecture, featuring Dr. Fadi Jabri, Executive Officer and CEO of Nikken Sekkei Ltd Dubai, in conversation with Giovanni Zambri of Smith Tait.

With more than 25 years of experience across the MENA region and a career spanning urban planning, mixed-use developments, hospitality, residential, and landmark projects such as One Za'abeel, Dr. Jabri brings a unique perspective shaped by both global practice and deep regional understanding. His work combines contemporary interpretations of Japanese design principles with innovative technologies, creating architecture that balances respect for history with a vision for the future.

Together, they will explore how architecture and light work hand in hand to shape spaces, create identity, and enrich the human experience. From design intent to built reality, the discussion will offer valuable insights for architects, lighting designers, and the wider design community.
