Raid Hanna

Dr. Raid Hanna is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture at The Glasgow School of Art (GSA). His research investigates the intersection of digital tools, cognition, and creativity in architectural design, with emphasis on parametric systems, environmental sustainability, and design pedagogy. He has authored numerous studies on computational interventions in architecture since the early 2000s.

His research interests include:

• Computational Design: Impact of parametric tools on creative processes.
• Design Cognition: How digital media influences cognitive design actions.
• Environmental Appraisal: Sustainability assessments of historic structures like GSA.
• Digital Pedagogy: Training novice architects in machine-aided design.

Hanna's publications (2002-2018) demonstrate a consistent focus on:

• Evolution of design tools from physical to digital workflows.
• Empirical analyses of creativity in computational environments.
• Systematic reviews of technology's role in architectural outcomes.
