As a matter of fact, I firmly contend that architecture expresses art. Architecture cannot be defined by rules; rather, it should be a deeply philosophical undertaking. First and foremost, architects are bound to be masters of a wide range of knowledge, meticulous, and thought-provoking minds. Furthermore, architecture is more than just a structure; it also reflects civilization, spirit, and image. This is my path - going beyond mere logic and intellect.
CONTENTS
I’m an architect; graduated in Spring 2020. My commitment to captivating and intriguing projects never wavers. My deepest ambition in life is that everyone can dwell in a state of heavenly bliss and eminence, and I am convinced that architecture can be instrumental in this direction.

This sacred site is situated about 4 kilometers northeast of Masjid al-Haram, regarded as one of the most venerated Islamic shrines on the globe. According to ancient tradition, the mountain’s name refers to the prophecy lights that glowed on its top. In the cave of Hira in (the Mountain of Light) where the Qur’an was revealed, the call to Islam began. This is the first place on earth on which the Secretary of Heaven and Secretary of Earth met to convey the eternal message of God. Mount of Light has thus been classified as one of the most uphill sites in the area due to its difficulty for visitors to climb. Even though the risk of falls is a concern for climbers, it has not prevented them from climbing the mountain. To make it a destination for Muslims, it must be developed and improved.

The project contains several zones geared towards two target groups: daily users and visitors. In the second group, the visitor will be scouting three points of observation, from which they can view the city from various perspectives. They will have two choices of routes: the initial path will conduct them internally, then externally, and return as they continue their journey to the cave, and once they climb to the cave’s top, they can opt for the second route so, it will be a unique exploration.
THE PATH ((SHOW US THE STRAIGHT PATH, THE PATH OF THOSE WHOM THOU zHAST FAVOURED; NOT (THE PATH) OF THOSE WHO EARN THINE ANGER NOR OF THOSE WHO ASTRAY)) AL-FÂTIHAH The Qur’an was revealed by Allah to guide the people out of darkness and show them the way to the light. God’s promise is explicitly described in the Qur’an, indicating that man’s entry into Paradise is connected to his pursuit and effort in this life. The implication of these verses is that work is a reason for man’s entry into Paradise and that entry is a consequence of man’s work. T HE END OF T HE JOURNE Y 3

Jeddah city offers a rare glimpse into living history. A wide range of cultural and architectural traditions can be found in Jeddah, ranging from the iconic downtown area to diverse scenery. The heritage hub draws inspiration from the most popular cultural movement in the Southeast, called Quit Art, which was abstracted from. The building was designed to consume energy in a way that closely blends with other fields, such as mechanical, environmental, and interior design, building system conception, all of which are optimized to work together in the most efficient, planned manner possible.

First step into the building is to find an atrium that offers a feel of the light from the skylight, as well as a sightline connection with those on the upper floors. The sloping middle mass catches the wind from the point of highest inclination and carries it back out across. On the first floor, the most active areas are located in the north of the building, utilizing the light and using glass in the most exposed areas, looking out onto a blended landscape.

A section wall on the south has been constructed in a dynamic manner so that you will be kept warm and dry in the winter and cool and dry in the summer via the wall that supports the building. It will be composed of aluminum sheets, and inside it will be a solar panel that will assist in the operation, which could be either manual or mechanized, and the green roof will use recycled water which will be connected to an irrigation system. aluminum sheets

Within the 2030 vision for the Kingdom, vibrant and dynamic societies are key demands of developed communities. Competitive performances in sports activities are of public interest, especially to the people living in the extended borders of Jeddah City. In this respect, design of Multi Sports Hall with a capacity of 2500 spectators in King Abdallah Economic City will enable local residents as well as sports leagues from all over the Kingdom to practice and compete in integrated sports. I identify the facilities and retail areas needed to create an environment where tournaments and championships can be held, as well as training and gymnastics. A number of technical aspects related to utilities and services, structural systems as well as environmental aspects were considered.

Mashrabiyais The old houses in Jeddah are built on a structure similar to modern buildings, despite the difference in capability. Essentially, it is created by erecting two opposite walls and filling the void between them with stones and mud. The Mashrabiyais are used for several reasons, most notably privacy and reducing loads on the building.

A community center is a building that provides different services to the members of its local community. It serves these members of different needs and ages by expanding their opportunities to indulge in various social, educational and entertainment activities. It also facilitates the process of bringing the community together and have them socialize and connect with one another. The design was inspired from the historical buildings of the kingdom’s western coastal region. In which, courtyards had a strong presence in various building types, mainly for the purpose of ventilation and providing natural daylight to the surrounding interior rooms. These rooms were often square or rectangular in shape and were opened towards the courtyard. The roofs were mainly flat and not round, since rainfalls occur less often and it also lessens the surface area subjected to the solar radiation.
