Architecture students enrolled in the Sustainable Architecture course at Ajman University demonstrated strong engagement in a research-based competition titled "Best Sustainable Research," which focused on identifying and evaluating the most effective passive design strategies for application in building design.
The initiative encouraged students to investigate climate-responsive solutions, analyze environmental performance, and translate research findings into practical architectural strategies. Through the competition, students enhanced their research skills, critical thinking, and understanding of sustainability principles, while reinforcing the application of passive design concepts in real architectural contexts.
The competition concluded with the announcement of winning groups, recognized for their outstanding research contributions:
First Group Winners: Sirajam Muneera, Glerica Clado, Ayesha Ziyad
Second Group Winners: Lana, Julia, Hajer
Third Group Winners: Halla Mohammed, Ola Sabbagh
Fourth Group: Leen, Mody, Alanod
The "Best Sustainable Research" competition reflects Ajman University's commitment to experiential learning and research-driven education in sustainable architecture. By engaging students in rigorous investigation of passive design strategies, the course prepares future architects to address environmental challenges through evidence-based design approaches that respond to the region's climate and sustainability priorities.
