Bridging Education and Practice: LWK + PARTNERS at Canadian University Dubai
At LWK + PARTNERS, our commitment to shaping the future of architecture goes beyond the drawing board. We believe in empowering the next generation of architects through active engagement with academia and mentorship.
Recently, our Global Design Principal, Kourosh Salehi, served as a jury member at Canadian University Dubai (CUD), reviewing a diverse range of architectural projects from students across the globe, including Politecnico di Milano. The session spotlighted innovative proposals that addressed real-world urban challenges and offered fresh perspectives on Dubai’s evolving built environment.
As a Board Advisor and Visiting Tutor at CUD, Kourosh brought a wealth of experience and critical insight to the jury, guiding students in refining their concepts and encouraging them to think boldly about the role of architecture in shaping resilient, inclusive, and future-ready cities.
The collaboration between academia and industry is essential to nurturing talent that is both visionary and grounded in practical knowledge. At LWK + PARTNERS, we are proud to support platforms that foster dialogue, experimentation, and meaningful learning.
A heartfelt thank you to CUD for creating a space where creativity, inquiry, and mentorship thrive.
