Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWassim Jabi is a professor and leader in computational methods in architecture, combining three decades of academic and research experience across North America and the UK. He specializes in parametric and generative design, building performance simulation, representation of architectural space, and robotic fabrication, and has translated that research into funded projects including large NSF and Leverhulme grants. As Course Director and Chair at Cardiff’s Welsh School of Architecture he has driven digital strategy, acquired industrial robotic fabrication capability, and published a widely used book, Parametric Design for Architecture. He has a track record of building research infrastructure and systems—from creating ACADIA’s first online membership and payment systems to developing non-manifold topology frameworks for spatial analysis. He frequently serves as external examiner and journal editor, bridging rigorous scholarship with practical studio and fabrication work. His background spans a B.Arch from AUB to a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, reflecting a sustained commitment to advancing computational design in architecture.
