LWK + PARTNERS was honoured to support the next generation of architectural talent at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) Dubai, where our Associate Architect Ann Thomas was invited to serve as an external jury member for the Bachelor of Architecture Thesis Reviews held on 19 June 2025.
This engagement is part of our long-standing commitment to education, mentorship, and industry-academia collaboration. As a design-led firm deeply invested in shaping the future of the built environment, we view these interactions as vital moments to exchange ideas, encourage creativity, and inspire critical thinking among graduating students.
Ann brought her professional experience and keen eye for contextual and human-centric design to the final year reviews, offering constructive feedback and insights to support students’ transition into the professional world. The interaction was described as inspiring and enriching by both faculty and students.
We’d like to thank Dr. Bhakti More, Chairperson of the School of Design & Architecture at MAHE, for the invitation and warm hospitality.
We remain committed to investing in talent development and look forward to continued engagement with academic institutions across the UAE and beyond.
