His art work has been exhibited in venues including the Pompidou Center in France, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and The Boston Center for the. Al-Haddad’s practice investigates the relationship between material and immaterial worlds, or rather the relationship between spaces of matter and spaces of thought. The workshop on 'Parametric Design Process' for the students expressed his design philosophy in the understanding of materiality as fundamental to the design and construction of any object or space. It was an enlightening and engaging presentation that greatly benefited the students.
