Haddad's research explores the intersection of architecture, environmental design, and landscape urbanism through interdisciplinary artistic practice. His creative work investigates color, space, pattern, and iconography to address themes of site, identity, and equality, while examining connections between food systems, art, and urban fabric—drawing from his background as a French-trained bread baker. He maintains an active photographic practice documenting urban environments.
