Lonaard – History & Vision
Lonaard Group is a professional research center based in London. It was established in 2000 by Dr Al Sayed, who has over
20 year contributions in the field of architecture in theory and in practice. Lonaard Group was established within the
vision to establish a global network of research centers and academies concerned with the encouragement, support and
advancement of research and practice in traditional arts, handicrafts, architecture and planning within socio-cultural
contexts.
Heritage, conservation, Islamic and Jerusalem studies, urban space and morphology are part of the Group’s ongoing
research and are central to our professional practice. In addition, the Group supports conferences, exhibitions,
and publishes a periodical magazine to bring together efforts of scholars, academics and professionals.
Through our group of professional consultants, in Europe, the Middle East, and the USA, and in collaboration with
our sister Group – Dar Mimar, we provide rigorous advice, pre-design studies and design proposals in architecture,
urban and regional planning.
