The architecture reflects society and its heritage. It belongs to the culture. It represents society’s past and proposes the future. Architecture as a cultural heritage should be preserved for future generations to respect the past and to protect their identity. My works are inspired by complex geometries, generative design, and exploring the ability to connect various design workflows with computational strategies that are my interest. holds a Master’s degree in M.Sc. CAD from DesignMorphine and a B.Arch, and being enthusiastic about geometrical design and using parametric modeling in order to facilitate design project complexities. accomplished me with hands-on experience designing buildings, interiors, and landscapes.
Hani Rashid’s Studio going throw create a new future architecture world, by utilizing physical and digital models, to be influential architectural arguments, design concepts, and strategies for me.

Overall Theory
Imagining a scenario in which the world is drastically different from the current state. Driven by the need for constant economic growth, humanity has used most of earth’s natural resources and with that lay th e groundwork for the manmade climate change. (Show rising curves) In our scenario climate change has destroyed most formerly known structures and anarchy and environmental destruction led to a massive decline in population and quality of life. (Show steep declining curves) Humans are now forced to survive in a toxic and cold environment. The warming of the earth caused the stopping of the gulf streams, which led to another ice age and with that came devastating food shortages and social tensions. Our work displays the different developments of the EDEN group which – with the help of new technology and social structures – tries to survive and improve the living conditions of its members. The group introduced new believes which are less focussed on the fulfilment of the individual needs but considered the shared interests and necessities to improve life for all members and reach a state of complete sustainability.
IT2.0-EVO (Iteration 2.0 – Evolution)
The first design Eden developed is a prosthesis to augment the human body. Through the intersection of technological elements and the human body’s systems this prosthesis enables the wearer to access more of the body’s potential to survive in the contaminated outside world. Multiple elements, covering the head, upper body and most of the legs are fitted closely to the human statue, while still allowing for free movement.The Designs prominent, fluid design language is guided by the use of organic metal, which was programmed to shape the visible geometry. Glowing lights in various locations of the body mark the position of connectors which can be used to refuel and service the prosthesis. They also act as guides in dark environments. The Prosthesis should deeply intertwine with the human body in order to enhance its internal systems and thereby make the body stronger and more resilient.

After the introduction of the Prosthesis Eden’s scientists developed a first prototype of a living environment, which could be built in order to escape the narrow underground of the city. It should contain spaces to fulfil all basic human needs, as described by Maslow’s theory. Spaces for Shelter, Food, Security, personal development, and social contacts are contained in the distinctive volumes of the Corpuscle. The façade of the first Corpuscle unit follows a similar, fluid design language and isjust like the prosthesis - made from an organic metal framework. The internal structural system is based on the concept of a spaceframe and the top parts are transparent in order to lead natural light inside and to heat the building with the sun’s thermal energy. The use of new technologies enabled some of Edens members to escape the underground and live - even though it was just a first experiment - in the harsh outside world, which was still very hostile and unpleasant to live in.

The use of new technologies enabled some of Edens members to escape the underground and live - even though it was just a first experiment - in the harsh outside world, which was still very hostile and unpleasant to live in.
As the principle of the corpuscle turned out to be a valid living- and building system, its concept got scaled up in order to be used as a living environment for a larger group of people. The units got flattered and more independently usable, which allowed for an aggregation. The units house different uses, which are essential for a structure which can house up to 10 thousand people. Combining this aggregation approach with a system which considers the surrounding urban fabric the Amalgamation structure spreads out from the centre of an intersection into the surrounding streets. Two towers in the centre mark the highlight of the shape. Around the structure public spaces are scattered. These public spaces contain greenery and they provided secure and comforting places for the inhabitants to relax. The terraformed landscape naturally connects the artificial structure with its environment.

CS28.6-UF (Conveyance System Fast)
As the group grew, their radius of movement grew as well and the need for high-speed transportation systems came about. Connecting the Amalgamation with its surrounding environment, the organically shaped network sprawls around the remains of the city. A far reaching, solid network represents the base layer of the Kinesis Conveyance system. Coming closer to the Amalgamation, multiple Layers are introduced into the Network. In the close radius around the Amalgamation the Layers rise up from the ground in order to allow for a more optimal entrance into the close-quarter network which tightly wraps around the structure. The networks integrates seamless in the environment, without disturbing nature. The close quarter network is connecting different parking spaces with each other,which are strategically placed around the structure in order to allow for an access to the building in various locations. The parking units are attached to existing units and are therefore deeply intertwined with the internal circulation of the building. They follow a modular building approach, allowing for an extension of the units in areas which are more frequently travelled to. The vehicles, which travel the network follow a fluid, but very open design language and can contain, depending on the model, between one and six persons. They are driven by magnetic ion-thrusters and are thus able to hover above the ground and fly along the guiding networks. Their reduced design allows for a very light weight construction and therefore a very energy-efficient use

The final design represents a large-scale network, which shows a possible connection between different settlements in a regional constellation. This networking system allows for a wide sprawl of Edens influences and living environments. Varying locations enabled them to use location-specific properties in their research and production of daily goods. This eventually also improved their quality of life. The cosmogony network is based on flow lines, which guide the network and ensure an effective travel path using momentum to use less energy. It contains varying levels of density with a dense network in the environment, clear and efficient main axes, and a scattered network around the different Amalgamation structures. The network in the immediate surroundings of the living and industrial structures also contains public- and recreational facilities.

Layout is inspired by patterns inspired by the natural world, As a result, visually innovative solutions are being created, and what is important from an engineering point of view, also technologically efficient, The logic behind shaping “bionic” architec- ture is aimed at, among others, the rational use of materials and energy Inspired by the organic pattern, horizontal continuity can be easily applied through the land to provide more pod cells and insure connectivity the future cells offer the possibility to expand vertically as well and creating many levels offering the flexibility of expansion any airport needs

The future cell airport is based on Voronoi diagrams which divides the space into subspaces in an organic way, it uses points to create cells that surround these points, this can maximize an airport’s square footage to accommodate and deploy new visible and invisible security measures while maintaining social safety, The use of space will be crucial, In this new reality, what I imagined as a possibility has become a need, Without a question, technology will play a key role; yet, it will have ramifications in other areas, including privacy, Factors influencd the airport is mainly flexibility that comes from the pattern and the layout that can expan horizontally or vertically through the points achieved by Voronoi diagrams, it will also depend largely on passenger experience and technology achieved in these pod cells, Pod column where the plane lands and flys from, each pod will have one Contrast between closed and open poduims to achieve balance and security for travellers

UAE being one of the biggest and visited countries in the middle east is my choise for the location of the future cell, Dubai connects alot of countries and works as a connective hub in the middle east, Context and surrondings plays a big rol in affecting the design pattern and llayout, people will respond to it as a llandmark projecting the site defen- tions and connect the old with the new, Green enviroment and sustainable site is important, all the spaces between the future cell airport i open to the use of green landscape and sustainable design, it is also capa- ble of adapting to changing conditions on the site, Most importantly, reducing traveller anxiety, we must become aware of the rising use of natural light and ventilation in architecture, Both materials and other ways will intuitively assist a user in orienting themselves and making their way around the terminal, They will also reduce energy use while also “humanizing” these areas, In an environment where both visible and invisible restrictions ensure security, a stress-free experience will be critical, 53
