When I was working on this project, I really wanted to capture the essence of being in a museum. I asked myself a lot of questions about what makes a museum feel like a museum. The things that stood out to me were the play of light, the sense of movement, and the overall space and perspective. So, I decided to create open and undefined spaces in the house to give it that expansive and museum-like feel.

But it wasn’t just about the space. I also thought about the colors, materials, and furniture choices. I wanted everything to reflect the rough beauty of nature, with warm tones, rounded shapes, and an overall sense of simplicity.

I guess it’s all about trying to capture that special vibe you get in a museum, where you can lose yourself in the art and the surroundings. That’s what I aimed for in this project – creating a home that goes beyond the physical structure and really resonates with the spirit of a museum.

Project : Environmental Protection Center

The main idea of this project is to create a space that embodies a sense of openness and fluidity, while simultaneously blurring the boundaries between the outside and inside. The primary aim is to provide an environment that fosters social interaction and productivity, while also promoting a connection with the natural world. The design will feature a range of textures and shapes that mimic natural environments, such as rocks and sand, and will avoid straight lines and sharp angles.

This approach will create a sense of harmony and balance within the space, enhancing the feeling of being indoors with a natural environment. By incorporating organic textures and shapes, the space will create a calming and inspiring atmosphere, which can promote creativity, innovation, and collaboration. Overall, the concept aims to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, offering an experience that is both unique and memorable.

Baucis

‘‘ After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveller directed toward Baucis cannot see the city and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds support the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themselves: having already everything they need up there, they prefer not to come down. Nothing of the city touches the earth except those long flamingo legs on which it rests and, when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that falls on the foliage.

There are three hypotheses about the inhabitants of Baucis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spyglasses and telescopes aimed downward they never tire of examining it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplating with fascination their own absence.”

Project : Students Housing

East Section Scale: 1/200
Facade Scale: 1/200

Project : Domino’s House

Based on the prototype of the Dom-Ino house in Le Corbusier, illustrated from 1914. The student had to distinguish the spatial structure and constructive structure, and organizer space with these many constraints. With a tolerance rancid to rearrange the stairs. “Between 2 slabs”it.

The domestic space contains in itself subessential sets for the life of a couple or from a family.

In our case it is intended for a person, these subsets are: meet, share a meal and rest. From these three fundamental parts of spacewe could better deal with the organization of the house of man through the form, the size and position of each room or space, and also how they relate to each other.

With a territory already predefined by 3 tiles held by the existing constructive structure in posts which somehow define the spatial structure of the House A system which can be defined A, A and B of which B is the smaller unit.

In this project the most important piece of the house its rises to double height (come together) providing a strong relationship with the room to share a meal and rest upstairs. The smallest unit of the maisound is put aside (outside) in such a way that we regains the unity of the whole by extending the slabsuperior. The most important frame is the part center of the model, unlike two others in peripheries, one rises in half height (share a meal) and the other outside (terrace), with a horizontal distribution on the peripheries of the model.

Project : Tunisian Villa

In a particular situation, located in a land sloping 15% from the top of a cliff of 17 m, which leaves an unmissable view of the sea and the center city of Tunis (East). The land is located in Gammarth in Tunis (capital of Tunisia), in a district of the bourgeois where one finds only individual villa. I proposed a single tube perpendicular to the sea and partially implanted in the ground, facing the horizontal seasonally, to capture the attention of the sea and the city center.

- The first floor is only dedicated to relaxation and nighttime. - The second floor is dedicated to daytime, activities.

Proposals

For this poster, I wanted to create a simple and easy way to represent our community at Bellevue College. According to Oxford languages, the word DIVERSITY means the state of being diverse; variety. This entire word includes many others sub-words that make it stronger, such as gender. It can any kind of living thing or object, including human beings. However, That meaning is something that many people from my country ignore.

Since I came here to the US, I started to understand the deep meaning of this word through the protest event across of the United States of America. So, this poster is my understanding of the word diversity that reflects our community such as teachers, students, and workers at Bellevue College no matter where you came from or tone of your skin or religion. We are Bellevue College

For this poster, as a black international student, it is important to show people our lives matter like everybody too. However, the recent tragic event that happened in Minnesota, was something I couldn’t imagine that going to happen. Maybe that happened many times in the past without being seen or recorded by someone. Now everybody has seen it! Through this event, people started to understand the hypocrisy that exists in the United States of America.

This country is built for everyone, no matter where you came from or the color of your skin. So, I wanted to create something simple, clear, powerful, symbolic, and meaningful. And I decided to replace the letter I in the phrase Black Lives Matter with a powerful symbol, which is a fist up in a red color that expresses the sense of courage and dignity of minority people since the beginning of this movement.

During my first years of learning English in the U.S., in my reading class, I was assigned to design a proposal for a new design for the cover of the popular book which is Holes. read and watched, many times, these beautiful stories. However, it wasn’t something that was required for everybody but if someone wanted to do it, he had a green light to do so.

So I came up with two ideas, both strongly related to the holes’ story. wanted to make the first cover for the kids with flashy colors and some key points in the story such as shoes, shelves, and lizards. For instance, the shelves were the tool that help Stanley, his friends, and everybody else to dig a hole. It was quotidian tools. Finally, the second cover is designed for adults with deep, simple, and shade colors. wanted to keep everything simple and pleasant to look at.

Artworks

For this design, I have spent many times thinking and also trying different approaches to design my donuts’ flyer. It took me much energy to work on it. Therefore, playing with colors is not my cut of tea. I always do my best to have good composition. However, I have been inspired by the theme of ‘’ party.’’ It’s not easy to do one, especially at this time. Also, I like donuts, even though I can eat only one. So, the party’s theme and one donut per day have made me design this poster/flyer.

For this project, I have to choose a city by my choice and design it in bringing a depth sense on it. I chose Seattle because it where I’m living rigth now. Also, I love the ambiance and athmopshere here. Everywhere is green and calm. I picked green color because is more related to the nature or forest ecosytem at all.

Yet, for makeing the depth aspect, I used the green gradient on the background down to up. Also, for making the depth much more visible, have chosen to process by playing with the opacity of green which means :

- Most closer buildings( front) = Fully green opacity.

- Less closer buildings ( middle) = Half green opacity.

- Away buildings ( Background) = Less than half opacity. And I played with the paper color to increase the depth of my design as well.

This poster was inspired by 80’s vibes, especially Miami vice color which are blue, pink, yellow... I picked Seattle city because I love being here. I appreciate the way both posts have been designed. It is simple and at the same time complicated to design it.

For the first image, it has captured my attention in the way the focal point expresses the movement. It’s great but the real reason for my choice it’s the background with stars behind the sun. Those stars look awesome and bring a galactic or unique mood to the design. Finally the second image, I have borrowed from one of my favorite games on every console, which is ‘’ Sayonara: Wild Hearts.” This game has a unique and won- derful switching dimension when you play. Also, the colors, characters, and music are immersive. I love it!!

This poster is inspired by the concept of Anthropomorphic photo/collage arts, and it was made by using only photoshop. However, the black and white portrait is more convenient for me to work on. Also, I do like renaissance art, which is characterized mainly by the emotion on it. So, that is the reason why I choose this poster that is expressive in the way the man posted and also the dog work together.

I was thinking about creating something most people attend to purchase for making their house warmer and welcoming to their friends or family. And then I thought about designing a pot for flowers that can be placed in the living room or dining room. However, I looked up some online ideas and most of them were simple but unique in their ways. So got inspired by them, and also I was thinking about bringing my own signature/characteristics through my pots.

And I came up with these unique openings and small colorful dots all around the designs supported by a circular base shape. Although the final design looks different from the drawing, it still has the same basic idea of expressing my own unique touch. Therefore, these final changes are due to the fragility of small dots to stick around pots, and I replaced them with different small colorful openings.

Drinking vessel

The main idea of this project was to create a functional mug that will be used quite often. And I came up with this idea of playing with the way of handling “the traditional cup” to make something new. So, I decided to create almost half of the traditional handle and make the around surface a bit coming inside/cut instead overall shape. It’s kind of created an irregular shape by following the way people manage to grab the cup.

And the color and texture, I wanted something that might be touchy and feelable when you grab it. Therefore, designed a small ellipse all over the cup shape. Also, the color looks different from my drawing is because of the lack of blaze color that had at this time. So, decided to make change the color for something more present to look at.
