The aim of this project was to map the understanding of the verb to interact along a 100m line. Located in Deira, Dubai along a building cut out creating an alley and across the road into a hotel lobby. This line explored outdoor courtyards, restaurants and hotels.

Interaction is a very humanized sense and to map this verb a criteria of Space-Person and Person-Person interactions were studied through the site. In terms of person-space the existing site was mapped as is with the highlights overlapped as images to show how people started to interact with the spaces. For example the use of installations as a photo spots, the building cutout became a shaded alley that directed massive footfalls due to the hot climate and due to the busy restaurants as people waited in line the planter boxes become spaces with people sat and waited. For the people-people interaction the static and dynamic natures were mapped from the people on site the everyday (workers in black and white) and the customers (in colors - always changing). How people interacted with each other work also explode, solos were quite, duo’s had burst of conversation that broke down into silence and larger groups generated large noises and ample interaction. This was combined with the physical vs virtual nature of this relationship. The merging and overlays of smell were also mapped as there were a multitude of cuisines that blended together to entice people

ARCHITECTURE IS A VERB

DESIGNING THE UN/MEASURABLE In the process of designing the measurable and unmeasurable though the exploration of office spaces, Firstly the functions were set, these series of models explored how 2 function of opposing interaction needs could be designed together, from least interactive (Data analyst) to most interactive(Event management).

A matrix was set up which helped in the analysis by studying the physical and visual interactions. Through the exploration there came an understanding that there could be visual interaction sans the physical, however in the instance of a physical, a visual connection was always present.

The office structures and requirements were also set within the 2 small offices and teams with a total of 21 people. Various office typologies were explored from pods to collaborative office and in-turn was adapted into the experimentation series to understand how they could effect interactions.

In the process of designing for visual connectivity the levels were really pushed to the boundaries to understand at what point did visual interactions halt. the idea of the play in levels also enforced the hierarchy within the office structure, hinder and opposing the idea of interaction.

In the model there is no sense of physical interaction between the 2 function however the design within this spaces enhancing the idea of visual connectivity at ever level.

DESIGNING FOR COMMON FUNCTION For the design of common spaces, the 2 functions were physically separated through enclosures with a touch of visual interaction. The function at various levels were explored and the common spaces designed were the lounge, and meeting spaces to integrate the clients needs for the event firm. The notion of adaptability was explored through rotating panels, make spaces more private and public.

MODEL 1: VISUAL CONNECTIVITY

MODEL 2: COMMON FUNCTIONS

MODEL 3: INTEGRATED FUNCTION

- Mixed levels - Single points of entry - Maintain office hierarchy - Individual enclosures -Varied forms of vertical circulation

- Mixed levels - Single points of entry - Maintain office hierarchy - Archways - Louvers - Functionally enclosed - Slanted walls - Adaptable zones

- Mixed levels - Single points of entry - Maintain office hierarchy - Archways - Louvers - Open office - Blending furniture

MODEL A : 1 + 2

MODEL B : 1 + 3

MODEL C : 2 + 3

This model mixes the visual connectivity elements with the common function elements. Through the use of the individual pods for more private spaces and a common floor with the availability of rotating planes to offer the privacy option., the stepped effect allows for further visual connectivity across levels.

This model mixed visual connectivity and the integrated function model. The notion of the individual pods remain in a more linear fashion with the idea of the merging planes working across the archways and becoming functional spaces as well as circulation spaces

This model mixes the common with the integrated functions. The use of merging elements of the louvers blend into the slanting planes and floor plates. Archways define the circulations and the creative office typology is designed in. The single point of entry s still maintained.

SELECTION CRITERIA - Busy and dense city - Heavy human and vehicular movement - Low - Mid rise buildings - Raised metro - Residential, retail and hotel district - Site split due to road - Lacks open spaces

The matrix below was used to select the final site. Karama was selected as the final site as it really tested the verb. It would challenged compared to creek where whatever was implemented would bring interaction to the site and Baniyas which is surround by high-rise buildings which would hinder the idea of interacting with the surrounding. This site was heavily built up allowing the exploration of integrating the form with the existing surrounding. There is a rich urban context, making it accessible central and connected. The view of the site also fit in with the UN agency selected.

The raised metro with the well know shell will provide a challenge, as the form with need to work to interact with it.

- The average wind speed in Dubai is 4-6 m/s.

- Prevailing winds come in from the N-W direction.

- Other slower winds come in predominantly from the south.

- Low rise nature of the site provides the opportunity for the form to be designed to integrate views.

- Average wind temperatures range from 30-40 C - Hottest winds - summer winds are the prevailing winds - Souther winds are cooler, hitting higher temperatures for shorter amounts of time - If wind is to be used in the design, some cooling measures (water features- evaporative cooling) need to be implements to make full use of wind.

- Site has a NE-SW alignment - During the day, shadows fall along the primary road pavements - During the evening the shadows are cast along the secondary road pavements.

- The close proximity of the buildings create alleyways and cooler/shaded pedestrian walkways.

- All roof tops show high levels of radiation absorption - Alleyway/sikkas and areas under the metro show lower levels of radiation as they are shaded.

- Curved forms like the metro show lower levels of radiations.

To begin the process of site mapping, interactive functions were mapped against non- interactive functions .

These studies were done across all 3 levels that existing on the site - ground, platform & concourse.

Barriers were observed with the subsequent movement (interactive) patterns at various times of the day.

A place of transactions (interactive) caused people to pause in the spaces.

At every turning points, the long range view was captured - how perspectives can change

SITE, INVESTIGATION & BRIEF

STATE OF TOMORROW

|| MANIFESTO

THE SOCIALITY OF ARCHITECTURE: Designing For Change Imagine you were in a quite white padded room, alone with your thoughts. No one to talk to, discuss with, converse, or have fun with…. a never-ending ‘self-narrative.’

Interaction in every form is needed for humans to survive. We would perish with loneliness and not knowing what to do next.

Architecture in its essence is a SOCIAL ACTIVITY and social interactions are the cornerstone of all human activity.

Designs are able to have impacts on large quantities of people and effect their qualities of life.

A space MUST invite and encourage social dynamics and architecture has the ability change the ways we design places for community and gathering of the masses.

Over time people have constantly changed, from a physical to virtual interaction. But there is a sense of loss through the virtual world, with a lack of human touch.

However, architecture has the capacity to be timeless pieces which evoke dialogue with the users.

The nature of spaces is characterized by the functions within them, they have the power to attract and encourage interactions.

With light, nature, adaptation, design we CAN change the quality of spaces to BREAK THE BOUNDARIES, and allow for

seamless conversations with forms and people.

To design for interaction, we will need to create spaces that enhance visual and physical connections through planes, openings or enclosures that can be manipulated to create more open spaces where people can interact.

In these spaces people will come together, exchange, conflict, compete or cooperate all within a singular space.

|| SPACE AS FORM

INTERTWINE

For the first charette interact was explored as intertwine, where 2 pieces twisted around each other. From the mapping zones were identified where the analysis wrapped around each other.

MAPPING INTERTWINE

URBAN INTERVENTION

DESIGNING FOR PRIVACY THRESHOLDS With the theme intertwine and the urban intervention,form was explored through designing for privacy thresholds.

Privacy across levels is looked at, private functions are located at the distant and different level compared to the public, with singular access points.

To develop the idea of intertwine on site , an urban intervention was implemented. the road was moved up to the metro level. this would allow the form designed the wrap around a central axis.

Intertwine in nature was studies through precedents to clearly understand the motion of twisting and how it can be used in design.

In this charette interact was explored as interlace, where multiple elements come together and crisscross over and under each other. Zones of interlaces where identified where 2 lines from the same origin crossed common perpendicular lines.

URBAN INTERVENTION

DESIGNING FOR VIEWS With the theme interlace and the urban intervention,form was explored through designing for views. The form is designed though the used or square based truncated pyramids. These open out towards the Dubai skyline, framing the views for the function inside.

To develop the idea of interlace on site , an urban intervention of the road was moved up to the pedestrian bridge level was done. this would open up the ground plane and allow the form to interact with all the existing levels on site, weaving through and around them.

How architecture is used to frame views is studied through the precedents. Through the use of cutouts in enclosures, floor to ceiling openings all these can be used to encompass a view like a picture.

DESIGNING FOR A NEW NODE/MOVEMENT With the theme overlap and the site conditions as is, the site mapping was used to demarcate circulation, with that a continuous path was designed across levels with functions distributed along it to create the form.

For this there, the site was left as is.

This would allow for something new to site on top of the existing with limited change much like when the metro was introduces and became a node that drew large masses of people.

Lebbeus Woods work was used a precedents. Within urban setting he injected these out of the world structures and tested how they responded to his surrounding.

DESIGNING FOR PHYSICAL THRESHOLDS With the theme intersect and the urban intervention,form was explored through designing for physical thresholds.

Angled planes emerges from the ground were designed with the addition of courtyards. These slanted planes allowed people move though and over the form interacting with the structure itself.

For this there, the road was moved underground, allowing a linear low rise building on the ground plane, allowing the design to explore the indoor-outdoor experience.

Zaha Hadids painting were studied as precedents, as her work had the ability to communicated urban setting through abstraction and modules of forms, much like the intersection extraction from the site mapping.

URBAN INTERVENTION

DESIGNING A CLIMATIC RESPONSE With the theme intersperse and the urban intervention,form was explored through designing for climatic responsive. Following the alignment of the road, the form stated at a higher level and dropped, this shaded the forms behind. The mass was fragmented to allow the narrow outdoor circulations that were shaded and oriented to channel the winds.

For this there, the flyover ahead of the site was extended and ramped down to the ground plane. This would allow the form to work with the road and its changing levels as well as the metro.

Archigram and the pompidou in Paris were the set precedents to understand inside out buildings and how they function. All the circulation and MEP is brought to the outside of the building, allowing movement in and out as well as across levels

the dispersal of function in this museum was looked at, in resolving out own spaces. and there co relation was further explored.

BLACK KITE OFFICES BUREAU DE CHANGE ARCHITECTS The interior design of this project was the main inspiration as it makes use of pod like elements in this an open space to define extents.

ENHANCING VISUAL CONNECTION

VIEW DEVELOPMENT

VIEW AXIS ON SITE

VIEW LEVEL AND FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP

ENVELOPE OUTLINE

- External views aligned to site to create axis - Extents of views decided on typology of view -360 view experience - align with tourism - Sky light views added to possibly frame the moon at instances

- Views heights varied in accordance with distance - Functional zones linked with appropriate view - more public views faces the south west of site, framing downtown Dubai for tourist.

- Offices function view allocated with generic dynamic everyday views

- points from center of the view used to create external skeleton - outlines varied connection points to test the massing on the right - massing done simultaneously with climatic studies to make edits to the form.

FORM 2

FORM 3 This form development made use of the center of the view, These planes were much larger as they connected across the form.

Running the climatic analysis, showed that larger planed are less efficient as there is a larger surface area for radiation and less shadow. This facade provides and opportunity for solar energy supply.

RADIATION

SHADOW RADIATION

Running the climatic analysis, showed whihc folds allows for climatic efficiency.

This form showed a reduced radiation and lighting , allowing for more shadow on the form and less hea intake.

DAY LIGHTING

FORM 1

SHADOW

FORM DEVELOPMENT

This form development made use of the bottom center points of the view, The folds are much sharper and in closer proximity to each-other.

Running the climatic analysis, showed that sharper folds allow for less heat gains and more shade. This form would also allow for unique interiors due to the varied interiors.

INTERSECTING VIEWS ENVELOPE DEVELOPMENT WITH VIEWS

VIEW ON EDGE

VIEW INTERSECT ON FORM

VIEWS VARIED ALONG AXISW

- The form was varied integrating the 3 options, with the views on end.

- The views were punctured though the form to create a view centric envelope.

- The views were moved along the axis, to allow more space in the interiors. The form was also manipulated to allow for outdoor spaces.

ACCESS DESIGN

EXISTING SITE - The road divides the site -The metro pods were a level of connectivity -Fragmentation caused small isolated islands on the site.

ACCESS RE-DESIGNED ROADS PULLED OUT - The metro pods were removed - The roads were pulled apart to create a larger central island - Redirecting PUBLIC movement into the center of the site

PRIVATE ACCESS DESIGNED - The UN Office host UN delegated that are high level officials.

- Private access was designed in with a group of points in instances of events.

LIGHTING An essential part of reducing energy consumption within a structure is using LEDs. This structure has a TRILUX LED lighting system built throughout it. Energy.gov claims that LEDs consume 90% less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs and last over 25 times longer, which means that investing in LED lighting can significantly reduce annual electricity consumption. In order to achieve optimum efficiency, TRILUX LEDs were employed, which offers a maintenance benefit since the lights would come from the same supplier as opposed to having various suppliers for each room. LED layout throughout the whole building. The auditorium receives the most amount of daylight with a glass dome, concluding that the auditorium requires the least amount of lighting throughout the day.

PROXIMITY SENSORS

We decided to mesh Art Jameels landscaping with our own creating these very fluid patches whilst respecting the very linear nature of the build through the planted steps , located towards the south of the site under the bridge , we have allocated for local farming

Elevation - Auditorium roof

NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPING

The proximity sensors that are built into each room enable energy-efficient lighting since they prevent the usage of lighting when a room is vacant by turning the lights off automatically.

SMART MATERS A smart meter is placed in the service room located inside the building which annotates the energy consumption of the building monthly or annually. This would help in understanding the room for improvement or any flaws that may occur during the installation phase. It is located strategically as whenever maintenance is required; the smart meter can be repaired without causing any interruptions to the workflow within the building.

ON SITE GREY WATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM On-site grey water irrigation system 100% greywater from the sinks is filtered and used for irrigation of the surrounding external farm an cleaning open courtyard.

ENERGY GENERATION

Sustainable benefits: Reduce the need for fresh water, cuts down on the amount of wastewater in our sewer systems

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) Semi-transparent modules made of Amorphous crystalline silicon Efficiency ranges from 6% - 14% Reduce the area requirement, and they reduce the material and infrastructure costs of the building itself.

Provides weather protection, noise protection, and daylight illumination Energy savings due to superior thermal insulation properties

Air Source Pumps

Heat

Heat source is outside air cheaper than GSHP and more practical to install

Mono-crystalline panels Made from high quality purest silicon, require less space, highest power output, Efficiencies of 15-20%, Reasonably long lifetimes (~25 years), Expensive, Better performance than other materials for low light conditions
