Laraib Rehman

I am someone who is very passionate about my work as an architecture student.

I worked at Sharjah Architecture Triennial. My job was to conduct a survey in the Um Al Tarafah neighborhood. SAT built this red platform, an architectural intervention, in this location a few years ago with the goal of creating a community space where neighbors might gather to rest or conduct events.

However, neighbors informed the issue that, following the pandemic, the platform has now been taken over by bachelors. As a result, in this poll, we questioned residents about how the platform can be used to encourage families and children to come together.

I am a third-year Architectural Design student at Dubai's Heriot Watt University. During my studies there, I worked on numerous individual and group projects, which taught me how to be a great team member and how to function well in fast-paced and deadline-driven workplaces, as well as how to communicate my design. Furthermore, at university, I served as the Class Representative for my cohort, and this useful experience was critical in the development of my great communication and negotiation abilities, as well as my leadership experience.
