Prof: Dr. Robiglio Ma�eo

Loc: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia The site is located in Addis Ababa where i was asked to build a self sufficient residen�al units for the popula�on of Addis. The disposi�on of the housing follow a cubical grid where each family will dispose of four cubes in case of exten�on or the crea�on of outdoor garden. Certain voids were created in the stucture in order to allow easy access to all the units and the penetra�on of the air flow inside the main cores of the structure. Each roof has a gu�er where the water will be collected from one roof to the other in oerder to reach an unerground tank that will serve for irriga�on and personal purposes. The extension of the houses can be formed ver�cally and horizontally in order for this building to change with �me according to the different needs of the popula�on.

Prof: Dr. Claudio Rossi

Loc: Cartagena, Colombia The project had to deal with the low income popula�on of cartagena. The design was created by analysing the pathways that these people are used to taking everyday in order to create a similar connec�on in between the units. The housing units can be altered according the the family need and can be easily extended due to a simple mechanism. In the design i took into considera�on the airﬂow and the sun direc�on in order to preserve natural air ven�la�on inside the units. On the other hand, at prac�cal level, the project took the inspira�on from natural islands which have proved to be resilient with �me (especially confron�ng water). The houses designed on the archipellagoes provide sources of food, independency from carbon fuel and collec�ve prac�ces to minimize unneccessary exploita�on of natural resources.

Urban Planning Design Studio Spring 2019

Prof: Dr. Artuso Mario

Loc: Lyon, France The project ini�ated with the understanding that the city must be seen as an evolving bio-organism which develops through restructuring of exis�ng infrastructures and other driving components. We concluded (through case studies) that the absence of strategic restructuring leads to the death of a vibrant city. Therefore, we sorted important driving factors (agencies) of ci�es and tried to link them with the grass root level en��es. The site held green open spaces linked to the river in order to reconnect the two segregated parts enriched with diﬀerent ac�vi�es such as botenic garden, sports facili�es and a cultural centre. The process involved also study of stakeholders in Lyon. Data (in terms of surveys) was collected from the area through interviews.

Loc: Borj Hammpoud, Beirut A�er generally analyzing the main urban elements of Borj Hammoud, several edges were found in the city translated into this abstract collage. First of all, the lower part of Borj Hammoud showed the pathway pa�ern, and the manner in which all the buildings are following a certain monotonous se�ng. The houses and roads are all linked together through stairways and narrow pathways. However, the upper part of the city is separated by the na�onal coastal highway, also known as the industrial zone, reﬂec�ng the disconnec�on between the two main parts of the city. The second major physical edge is the river of Beirut that is canalized by vast walls blocking the physical and the visual connec�on between Borj Hammoud and Beirut.

Abstrac�on of Spaces

COLLAGES ANALYSIS These urban pathways highlighted in red are linked to the site, and have the poten�al to be reconnec�ng elements to the river, and a con�nua�on of the urban fabric in several districts alongside the river of Beirut. In 1945 the river of Beirut was part of Borj Hammoud’s everyday life which showed the strong connec�on between this district and the ci�es surrounding it. Axonometric view

STRATEGY

These modules are a collec�on of events all connected through a sequence of spaces and moments represented in a collage ﬁguring diﬀerent representa�on of interior spaces that will be translated later on into the architectural project. These modules will be set in a certain rhythm following the program and the func�on of each space

Loc: Ramlet Al Bayda, Mousaytbe The site is located in Ramlet El Bayda in close proximity to a Pales�nian refugee camp. The purpose behind this project was to break the introverted space that the community has createdas a result of social tension with the na�ves. This is done byexposing the community to the public by highligh�ng their cra�smanship and culinary skills at ground level where there is an open market. The upper ﬂoors are social residen�al housing units in order to accommodate the overpopulated community that lacks adequate living spaces.

Strategy Different images were taken during the promenade architectural in Mar Elias refugee camp. These modules were set in a strategical sequence of events by crea�ng a linked collage transformed into several experimental spaces translated later on into sec�ons reflec�ng different interior spaces of the project.

Prof: Dr. Maroun Daccache

Loc: El Abiad Camp, Mar Mikhael This project is located in a dense area that lacks open spaces and public func�ons. The purpose of the program was to revive this residen�al area through a Hammam ( thermal bath). This func�on would provide the residents with an ac�ve public space other than their usual communica�ng hub- the streets and sidewalks. Diﬀerent moments were captured during the promenade architectural in Mar Mikhael. Each picture was transformed into an abstract conﬁgura�on by highligh�ng the main geometrical shapes in each space

The goal was to construct a project that does not obstruct the physical and visual connec�on, rather than following the urban grid along with its main pathways and circula�on. Hence, reinforcing the link by crea�ng four main structures that are linked through branching bridges connec�ng all of the diﬀerent func�ons together, reﬂec�ng the feel of the exis�ng bridge.

Prof: Dr. Joseph Kiprianos

Loc: Rihani, Jbeil

HOTEL

SPA

The general shape of the design is inspired by the landscape surrounding the site of the exis�ng building. In fact, the middle part connects all the levels to the lobby by crea�ng differen�nterac�ons between the func�ons of the hotel. The second floor follows the rota�ons of the line in the landscape, allowing all separate floors to be connected in a way. The design of the hotel allows visitors to explore and interact with the core of the building. All the different suites that accommodate outdoor balconies open up to the panoramic view of the sea.

SPA The main characteris�c of this spa is that it is extroverted, yet with an introverted structure, permi�ng a more private environment. People in the hotel have their own private entrance linking the en�re project by ramps travelling through the façade in order for people to explore the project in a more realis�c manner which, in other words, is a “promenade architectural”. As for the public space, the entrance is located on the ground level. Visitors of the spa will be accommodated with saunas, massage rooms, a gym, and even outdoor and indoor Olympic pools.
