Haby Yaqob

Haby Yaqob is an architectural engineer graduated from Cairo Academy, and studied Facade Engineering in Bath University in UK, CWCT certified, Autodesk BIM certified, a member of the Egyptian and Saudi Engineers Syndicates and an ardent aluminium lover and sustainability advocate since 2007. His current role involves in working with the finest minds in the field of architectural aluminium in the Greater Middle East Markets, Europe, and Africa. One of his key tasks involves extending partnerships with building designers, architects, consultants, developers, and contractors. The discussions usually can range from designing an attractive sliding folding door for a luxury chalet to building up a bespoke aluminium facade for the vertical cities of the future. Because he is associated with WICONA, a part of Hydro Building Systems and one of the world’s leading aluminium system manufacturers, his interactions further extend to students in the architecture schools and the wider construction academia. This keeps him extremely in tune with upcoming design trends and of course the learning never stops.
