Azm University’s recent graduates Marwa Handoush and Israa Akkari were each the recipient of an award by the Order of Engineers and Architects in Tripoli in recognition of their final year projects. The awards formed part of a celebration on November 19 of the accomplishments of Architecture students in North Lebanon.
Three local universities that offer Architecture programs participated in the event: Azm University, the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts (ALBA), and City University. Graduates from each university presented their final year architecture projects to a large audience made up of academics, architects and professionals from the region.
