Palestinian architect Dr. Suad Amiry won the “Arab Geniuses 2025” Award, held in Dubai, in the Architecture and Design category.

She also participated in one of the largest architectural documentation projects in Palestine, resulting in a register of more than 50,000 historical buildings and the revitalization of 50 historical centers. Furthermore, she has involved local residents and artisans in village restoration projects, utilizing traditional building materials.
