Imad Hanna

Imad Hanna is an interior architect, researcher, and Associate Professor at the American University in Dubai. His research and practice explore how generative AI can advance architectural thinking, expand creative possibilities, and shape human-centered environments. His experience spans multiple design sectors, bringing together architectural principles and emerging technologies. Through computational methods, digital fabrication, and intelligent systems, his practice explores new ways to enhance creativity, performance, and cultural expression in the built environment. His research includes Dynamic Neural Architecture (DNA), a theoretical framework exploring how built environments might adapt to human cognition and experience. As a keynote speaker at international conferences, Imad shares insights into the future of design, smart cities, and human–machine collaboration. He also hosts “Let’s Talk Tech,” a videocast exploring AI’s impact on creativity, culture, and technology. Imad is
