On Our Team:

Heba

Site Engineer

I am an architect living in the Gaza Strip with a Bachelor’s from the Islamic University of Gaza. I am passionate about combining my love of architecture with improving the mental and physical well-being of disadvantaged families. I have ten years of local and international experience in the management of architectural projects, including architectural drawings, building inspections, 2D and 3D visualization, and 3D rendering and modelling.

I worked as an architectural engineer on a local scale for the Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities, Municipality of Jabalia, the Islamic University of Gaza, and Heritage Architecture Center and engaged in documentation and renovation projects with NGO organizations like MA’AN Development Center in Gaza. In addition, I worked remotely for international organizations like Byspokes in Wales.

I am excited to work on participatory design through conducting interviews with Gazan families and analyzing their conditions. I am aiming to create a database of needs and figures which will be as a reference or a milestone for the advancement of housing regeneration in Gaza and also for expanding the range of refurbishing projects and construction projects in Rebuilding Alliance.

I am proud to work with Rebuilding Alliance as an Architectural Site Engineer because my position recognizes the integral role that architects have in the development of communities.
