Program used: sketchup Photoshop

This proposal addresses the context of the site in order to produce a building, which is architecturally modern and functionally sustainable.

The building’s also produces an efficient module, which provides a flexible working environment within the building.The true solar orientation of the site means that each facade can be optimized according to its orientation.

Dubiotech’s new Holiday Inn is to be a leading 4 star hotel in the Al Barsha area of Dubai. The project’s main concept is based on an organization of vertically stacking all three major functions of the building.

South Facade

In the case of the South facade, the panel has been designed to be more solid and with a top shelf. This ensures a protection from the more intense South sun.

Muscat Central Development OMAN The vernacular architecture express the function of the building as well identifying the Four functions as separate blocks. External materials are off-white tones and thus remain consistent with the local Omani traditions. Building layouts have been developed for all functions to maximize the amount of natural light by reducing the distance from internal space to exterior wall.The courtyard facilitated by a variety of food and beverages. Two linear blocks, connected by bridges. The design adds a ‘zigzag’ effect to the Eastern block to increase its access to service.

THE MAIN IDEA

Program used: sketchup Photoshop

Since the primary spine winds its way through the mall, from the main entry to the beach, shoppers will intuitively understand the way finding and will be encouraged to explore all the retail opportunities within the mall.

The Effect is dramatic and will create a landmark identity while also increasing the net leasable area over the former, pure grid layout of the retail.

The secondary grid of retail corridors and nodes has also been given just a slight angulating variation in the width to provide a sense of unity to the overall theme and shopping experience

THE BIG IDEA

Designing new City HALL for the city of ALEX that would emphasis, through a feeling of transparency and openness, a positive perception of the accessibility For the EGYPTIAN justice system. The design is essentially a simple Form that clearly reveals its function and organization. A complete separation of public and Private circulation patterns identifying the building’s constituent parts resulted in a transparency that encourages a sense of accessibility and orientation.

The Council Chamber is the core of the building, where the public and the Admin meet. Idea of openness and transparency as the driving factor in the design. The building was not to be Solid. Rather it would be a transparent envelope, looking outwards to ALEX Bay and beyond, making visible and encouraging public participation in the democratic process.

ABERDEEN ELEVATED CUBE CONCEPT T he proposal is shaped within three phases of architecture, spatial, and urban inter vention. providing an elevated layer of modern communication that will redefine and introduce the harbor back into the frames of the experience.

ART CENTER

EXPLODED MODEL

CIVIC CENTER FORM GENERATION A strategy was developed to split the building into three masses penetrating each other, Each mass serving a different function to separate the public and private area.

Elevated CUBE is a high-rise proposal that creates a new urban grid above the city by connecting existing Harbor. This elevated horizontal platform would become a new type of public domain that will redefine the interaction between people and their Harbor – allowing new program and architecture on the top levels of the existing structures. The entire platform would have THREE MAIN LAYERS will be dedicated to ART ACTIVITIES. The EXPO area create possibility of interactive exhibition designs.

Potential exhibition design may include ship simulators, an interactive map of Aberdeen sea and time lapse photography of how container ships are built. It can transform Into many individual galleries allowing for different shapes, sizes, and lighting needs
