Dr.  Alkanderi is an architect, educator,  Sadu weaver, and a story teller. I am passionate about the stories of people and places. As much as she enjoys teaching topics in architecture i.e. history of architecture post industrial revolution, urban design, local and traditional building crafts, and regional architecture; she is also very passionate about hands on design projects and storytelling through urban and architecture endeavors like capturing cultural social and sometime technical contexts for the designed environment. She believes that the built environment holds a lot of memories from its inhabitants; their history, economy, social and political stance.
