MAHER DABOUL

Certified Architect

Specialist in Sustainable Reconstruction

Founder of the Rebuilding Syria Platform

I believe that architecture is not merely a science, but also a tool for rebuilding hope and helping communities thrive. I also believe that urban development in our Arab region must begin with a deep understanding and careful study of our historical local architecture.

Bio

An architect with more than 10 years of academic and professional experience, I began my journey in architecture in 2009 at the University of Damascus. In 2013, I left Syria after deciding to dedicate my studies to reconstruction and moved to Germany to learn from its distinguished experience in this field.I continued my studies at Leibniz University Hannover, where I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. During both stages, my academic work, graduation project, and thesis focused on the reconstruction of destroyed areas in my home country, Syria. By the grace of God, I achieved the top grade of 100% in both degrees and received recognition from more than one institution for this work. During my Master's studies, I also worked for three years as an assistant at Leibniz University Hannover.I have now been working in the engineering field in Germany for nearly nine years. As someone who strongly believes in the importance of sharing knowledge, I founded Rehla Academy to serve as a source of Architecture knowledge and inspiration in the Arab world.I aspire to play an active role in the reconstruction of devastated areas in my home country, Syria. That is why I founded the Rebuilding Syria Platform: to create a Platform that can contribute positively to the rebuilding process and support a more sustainable future.

Principles

01

Learn More

The knowledge never end. With every step I take in learning them, I become more aware of how much more there is still to learn. Whoever believes they have already mastered knowledge has, in truth, begun their ignorance.

02

Sharing is Caring

Everything decreases when shared, except knowledge. Sharing knowledge increases the awareness and understanding of the one who gives it, and drives them to seek even more.

03

Spreading Positivity

Facing life’s challenges with positivity and optimism makes them easier to overcome.Take life as it comes to you with a smile, whether it holds laurel in its hand or nothing at all.

Completion of the rehabilitation project for a senior care complex
After devastating floods struck the area, the complex was rehabilitated through the demolition of بعض buildings, the renovation of others, and the construction of two new buildings within the site. As part of my work at Vier Linden Architekten, I dedicated more than 8,000 hours to this project, from the initial design phase through to final delivery.
