MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB BEEHIVE URBANISM Tools:

AutoCAD - Rhino - Grasshopper - Adobe Suite - Lumion - AI Visualisation Tools

Connection Through Sports: The project explores how sport can strengthen urban connection through a connected sport city for Manchester United Football Club.

Inspired by the Manchester worker bee, the design transforms the beehive into a spatial system of unity, movement, and interaction.

The stadium sits at the centre as a flower that feeds the hive, while surrounding clusters inspired by queen bee cells are linked through a continuous canopy network that enhances movement and public interaction across the site.

STEEL KNOWLEDGE HUB Tools:

AutoCAD - Rhino - Adobe Suite

Knowledge Beyond Books: The project explores how architecture can redefine the traditional library as a contemporary destination for knowledge and discovery.

Using steel as the primary structural system, the design creates a series of floating geometric volumes that establish a bold architectural identity while creating light-filled spaces defined by openness and structural clarity.

The exposed structure becomes more than a construction method; it shapes the spatial experience, transforming the library into a dynamic environment where knowledge, architecture, and structure coexist.

Saudi Arabia's First Net-Zero Project: The project introduces Saudi Arabia's first net-zero development, spanning approximately 500,000 square metres and demonstrating how renewable energy can shape the future of sustainable urban development.

Inspired by the infinity symbol, the masterplan expresses continuity and the endless cycle of clean energy, while a randomized façade reflects the diversity of natural patterns.

Learning, entertainment, research, and hospitality come together to promote innovation, public awareness, and the future of solar energy.

Where Cultures Meet: The project explores how a sustainable urban community can support both local residents and pilgrims within one of the world's most valuable urban areas.

Organised around a central community core, the masterplan balances high-density living with urban liveability, creating a resilient community that responds to both permanent residents and the seasonal demands of pilgrimage.
