Overview

I’m Nadine, a researcher and lecturer specializing in Circular Economy (CE) and sustainable design in architecture. My work focuses on transforming affordable housing by integrating circular design principles, material flow analysis, and life cycle assessment. Currently pursuing my PhD at Cardiff University, I explore how CE design strategies can reshape the building industry in developing countries, particularly Jordan.
