The School of Architecture & Design at LAU continues on the path of establishing itself as a first-rate institution for education in the arts, design, and architecture in Lebanon and the region. After its consolidation as a school in 2009, it has emerged as a role model in terms of its educational standards and in fomenting a design culture that is creative, open, multi-disciplinary and proactive. The mission of the School is to educate competent designers and fine artists in the various design fields, who will have the breadth of knowledge and the skills necessary to creatively engage different artistic and design problems, in addition to a broad culture founded on liberal education, that will allow graduates to operate as responsible citizens and ethical professionals in a global world. This year, LAU is pleased to present at the Beirut Design Fair, 4 table lamps designed by Interior Architecture students mentored by their teacher and designer Samer Haddad.
