Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB) recently presented the 2016 awards for Design Excellence and Creative Achievement & Potential to two graduating and two junior students from Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar (VCUQatar) during a ceremony at the university.
AEB Group CEO and chief architect Ibrahim Jaidah presented the Arab Engineering Bureau Award for Design Excellence in Graphic Design to graduating student, Dana Chua, and for Design Excellence in Interior Design to graduating student, Mario M Bermejo.
The awards were instituted by Jaidah, a long-time supporter of VCUQatar, to encourage and assist graduating students as they start their careers as designers in Qatar and the region. He is recognised as a pioneer of a new architectural movement that combines the far-reaching influences of Islamic art with modern styles to create memorable landmark structures that are shaping Qatar, according to a statement.
“We are committed to national development and are invested in supporting young and enthusiastic generation of designers from VCUQatar. Over the years, VCUQatar graduates have proved to be at the forefront of the design industry in Qatar, and it is our absolute pleasure to be able to award such individuals for their hard work and help them kick-start their careers,” said Jaidah.
The Arab Engineering Bureau Award for Creative Achievement & Potential was presented to graphic design junior, Alisha Saiyed and interior design junior, Majdulin Nasrallah. These awards aim to help the junior students recognise their true potential, create leadership and encourage them to continue developing their skills through their senior year, the statement noted.
The awards are a major highlight of the academic year for VCUQatar’s students.
VCUQatar dean Akel I Kahera said the university was grateful for the continued support from AEB over the past decade, adding that the awards recognised the students’ commitment to their future careers in what “is a very competitive and demanding environment”.
Besides the awards, AEB and Jaidah continue to partner with VCUQatar through their participation in Tasmeem Doha, VCUQatar’s biennial international design conference, as well as by offering internship opportunities to VCUQatar students.
