Architect-Head of Architecture department | School of Architecture and Design
Elie currently serves as Head of the Architecture Department at the School of Architecture and Design, where he teaches Architectural Visual Communication to graduate students.
Elie’s journey began in 2002 with a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik. This foundation was further strengthened by a commitment to digital design tools. In 2011, he earned the Autodesk Authorized Instructor certifications for AutoCAD, 3D Max, and Revit software. This dedication to technology continued with the pursuit of a second Master’s degree, a Master of Arts in Contemporary Art in 2019. The thesis title, “Digital Tools as Initiators of New Artistic Movements”, highlights his fascination with the intersection of art and technology in shaping the built environment.
Elie’s expertise extends far beyond the theoretical. Since graduation, he has actively navigated both the design and execution aspects of architecture. In 2010, he established Free Dimension Lb, a design firm whose portfolio boasts projects across Lebanon, Belgium, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria.
