CIS Professor Named to INTBAU Board of Trustees

Dr. Akel Kahera, Professor, Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) College of Islamic Studies (CIS) was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the International Network For Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism (INTBAU).

Dr. Kahera’s body of work in Islamic art, architecture, and urbanism earned him the position along with his 20 years as a professional practitioner including international experience as designer and project manager on a multitude of projects around the world.

“I am proud to join INTBAU’s Board of Trustees and lend my expertise in Islamic architecture and urbanism in support of their vital mission of promoting traditional and sustainable methods of building and construction. I am grateful to CIS for their ongoing support of my work and their innate dedication to dialogue as a means of facilitating expertise and building capacity in Qatar and beyond,” said Dr. Kahera.

With INTBAU having recently established its Qatar chapter in 2022, Dr. Kahera will play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable traditional architecture in the country and creating impact in the educational sector, both academic and vocational, on the importance, methodologies and practices of traditional architecture, urbanism and crafts.

Under the Royal Founding Patronage of The former Prince of Wales, INTBAU has just over 40 global chapters that are committed to the study and practice of traditional building, architecture and urbanism and the vital role these play in creating places to live that are sustainable and that foster a strong sense of attachment and identity.

The College of Islamic Studies (CIS) provides a unique platform that contributes to critical intellectual debates on Islam in a global context, through its blended academic programs and an immersive learning experience; as well as its distinguished research division, which includes several research centers and clusters.
