2-ABOUT THE SITE

The property is located in Rabat, Morocco's capital and the country's seventh largest city, with a dense urban population.

It is situated near the mouth of the Bouregreg River on the Atlantic Ocean.

The placement of the property is on a busy street with a lot of foot traffic; it's a well-known and heavily inhabited area.

Rabat has a Mediterranean climate, with moderate wet winters and bright, scorching summers.

I chose this location because it lacks a public library and is bordered by a number of schools and institutions, as well as a number of residential neighborhoods, hotels, and restaurants, all of which contribute to the site's accessibility to the general public.

There are several public transit options that will take you to the venue such as the tramway, Taxi, bus, etc…

3-Concept Design

CONCEPT DESIGN -Sloped the volume so the rain falls easily

-Create natural daylighning -Allow Natural Ventilation -The first volume was too long so i merged the two volums toghether -Gives a warm entrance -Creating exterior hallways -Allowing the entrance to the building and providing meeting points.

Added a "Tree Trunk" to support the building

Because there is a forest nearby, I elected to portray the facade like a tree.

The use of a consistent exterior material (matt glass) contributes to the ensemble's overall cohesion.

The inner layer of the facade is solid to prevent the sun from heating up the building due to thermal characteristics and building physics. Create a venue that blends art, culture, and the urban environment together - a space where people and culture are encouraged to connect.

The building's entryway has the same "warmth" feeling as my design.

Architects: Vox Studio Location : XALAPA, MEXICO

establishing external covered passageways, enabling for the building's entry and offering meeting areas The internal service core blocks west sunlight, producing a natural barrier between the working spaces and solar radiation. They also allow for optimum ventilation, allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the structure.

The layout of the place is very similar.

9-Refections This semester was the one that made me realize what it meant to be an architectural student; we learnt a lot about architecture and how difficult but also intriguing it is. I learnt more about architecture in the previous four months than I did in my first and second years combined; this semester was more detailed and focused on other tactics that we hadn't even studied before. I'm grateful to my lecturers, Mia and Fin, for everything we learnt this semester. The only criticism I have is that two classes per week is a bit excessive because we don't have enough time to do good research and work on our assignments, especially the Friday course because we don't have enough time between Wednesday and Friday; it was a bit difficult to submit a good progress on Friday.

THANK YOU
