Architect – Dar al-Handasah Shair & Partners

January 12, 2022 by Claude Jobin

Here we are at the last installment of architects who contributed to Arch Daily’s list of The 25 Tallest Buildings in the World. This time Dar Al-Handasah Consultants. Dar was founded in 1956 by Kamal Shair (1930-2008) and 3 fellow professors of Engineering from the American University of Beirut. Their fields of expertise include engineering, architecture, planning, environmental consulting, project and construction management, facilities management, and economics. Their principal offices are in Beirut, Cairo, London, Pune, and Amman. They provide consultancy services to clients globally. Their Arabic name دار الهندسة Dar Al-Handasah means “the house of engineering”.

Previously, from this list, we visited with:

We’ve skipped over Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) as we’ve previously covered them when we looked at Starchitect William Pedersen of Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF). That being said their contribution to this list is Suzhou IFS. We’ve also visited with Cesar Pelli & Associates whose contribution to this list is The Petrona Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 1998

Dar’s contribution to the list is Makkah Royal Clock Tower, the tallest building with a clock face in the world
