Autobiography

I

am the oldest daughter for my parents & the First granddaughter in my family. I don’t have that much to tell about my childhood. As any child in this life I had a lot of crazy dreams that can’t come true in this world, it can happens only in a dreamland. I spent the rest of my youth reading Arabic novels and foreign novels that was translated; I love the literature & Arabic poetry so much. Victor Hugo was one of my favorite authors ever & “Gone with the wind” was one of my favorite novels ever. At that time I saw some of the famous artists’ works such as Renaissance artists. Their ability of drawing very small details attracts me. Personally, there are the most creative people in this world. When I got older I decided to study in the art school.

The part that I mostly loved & became good in it is forming ceramics.

My passion for artists increased & I started to know more about their works & way of thinking. Van Gogh with his way of thinking attracts me more than any other artist. I fell in love with all of his drawings.

Impressionist’s thinking in general attracts me. One of my big dreams since I was a kid is to be a very famous artist just like Van Gogh. Even if it happens or not I don’t care, at least I have a dream. I wake up every morning hoping that it will happen. I really feel sad for the people who ended their lives without having dreams. Van Gogh once said “If you heard a sound inside you that it aside you are not an artist… just drown with all possible ways that you have until that voice shut up”

Professional Goals

A

fter I graduated from a fine art school, I decided to complete my education in an art school as well, but this time I wanted to focus on a different major because I really wanted to use my art knowledge in ways that would make people use it rather than just look at it. I found Interior Architecture somewhat similar to the fine art in the way that you are able to come up with new ideas, play with colors and shapes, and build great concepts to start the work with. At the beginning it was difficult for me until I met one of my favorite teachers at the Academy. He said a word for me that just stuck in my mind, and ever since that day I have been using this technique in all of my work.

I remember that day because I was afraid and I looked at him and told him; “I’m sorry but I don’t have a strong background, and because of this I am very confused.” He then asked me about my background and at the moment that I said “Fine Art” he smiled and replied; “it is exactly the same.” He began to explain to me how much art classes were involved in design. It is this support that has given me the power to

complete my career in design.

An artist’s way of thinking is very different from the way most people think; they have a special vision of making things special and unique. My future goal in a design career will be to develop my fine art knowledge and utilize it more in the areas of design to make it a distinctive feature in all my works going forward. Also, I will look at the space that I am planning to design as a piece of art first; I want to give my customers a sensation that makes them feel as if they are inside a panel. Moreover, I prefer to work within a commercial field rather than a residential one. This is due to the fact that I will have more opportunities to create my own ideas and put a signature stamp on the design in a way that will make it known to a larger audience.

Becoming a famous artist and designer is one of my life long dreams.

The first step in seeing this dream become a reality is my thesis project, and this is why I decided to make it a mix between my passion for art and love of design.

The Islamic Cultrual Center

The project description Owner The Saudi prince & businessman Alwaled bin Talal is the owner of the building. He is in the list of the richest people in the world, he has a lot of donations, and he is the owner of Alwaleed Bin Talal Humanitarian Global. The foundation aims specifically to the establishment of centers and supporting studies and forums that encourage dialogue and reconciliation between different religions all over the world. Participation in the preservation of the Islamic heritage of literary and artistic worldwide. Assist in the alleviation of poverty and famine worldwide. Also, payment programs to enable and support women in the fields of education and employment.

Site area The building is four stories, and the total square feet for is 50,000 square feet, and each floor is 12,500 square feet.

Function A Islamic Cultrual Center.

Location The building that had been chosen for the thesis project is four blocks away from the Union Square in San Francisco Landmark building # 195. The current name of the building is Alcazar Theater and the address is 650 Geary Street between Jones and Leavenworth.

Users The multicultural population in San Francisco will be my first target of users, San Francisco tourists and visitors, Muslims who live in San Francisco and the Bay Area, Artists and anyone who is interested in art in general; especially the Islamic art, and Anyone who is interested in Islamic religion and culture.

description For the thesis project, the designer has chosen Al Cazar Theatre building in San Francisco and plans to convert it into an Islamic Cultural Center. It is currently a theatre, but the exterior façade is very Islamic in its architectural design and lends itself well to such a type of program. The building will serve as an educational complex that is multifunctional for people with an interest in learning about Islam. It will be a place where Muslim and non-Muslim people with different religion backgrounds can come and learn about the beauty and culture of Islam. The Islamic Cultural Center will help Muslims, who live in San Francisco and the Bay Area, create a sense of community and help them foster their Islamic identity. It will also help the new generation of Muslims increase their Islamic culture knowledge. The center will promote interfaith dialogue, and will be a place where discussions between people of different religions can take place.

“He was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, he founded and promulgated one of the world’s great religions and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive”.

These words can be found on the first pages of a book, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, by Michael H. Hart. Hart was explaining in a few words the reason behind his choice of Prophet Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons. This may surprise some and may be questioned by others, but as a Muslim woman it was touching to read this beautiful recognition in a book written by a non-Muslim author.

The civilization left by the ancient Muslims that stretched from Spain to China from the 7th century to the 12th century was a great one. During this golden age of discovery many inventions of that time have had a great influence on our modern world today.

Scientists and scholars in various fields contributed many of the most important scientific discoveries of the time. Discoveries based on ancient knowledge have a connection with our modern world more than anyone can imagine. To list a few examples, the ideas of Ibn al-Haytham, the great scientist, led to the discovery of the camera by explaining how our eyes work. Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi, the father of surgery, invented many of the surgical tools still in use today in modern

hospitals. Mariam Alasitrlabiah, one of the brilliant women of the time, invented the sophisticated Astrolabe to perform calculations and keep time and today’s satellite navigation is based on her device. These inventions are just a fraction of the ones discovered during the golden age of Muslim civilization. Thousands of other inventions across all disciplines spread to Europe in the Middle Ages and many of them are directly connected to our modern world.

Unfortunately, many non-Muslim people are not knowledge about the beautiful Islamic culture and civilization. Furthermore, because of the tragic events that have recently occurred in U.S. and abroad, some Americans and people across the world have become afraid of Muslims and Islam as a religion. People have began to think that the bad act of a few people represents all Muslims and that these terrible acts are a result of their beliefs and that is simply not true. It is a difficult topic to discuss, but a serious problem that should not be ignored. It is difficult to know that someone dislikes you or has a bad impression of you without knowing you just because you are Muslim. The problems lies in the misunderstanding because many non-Muslim people do not know that much about Islam, and the little information they do have, they receive from the media, which is often distorted and false.

The perfect solution to help to solve this problem is to spread correct knowledge about Islam culture and the Prophet Muhammad by educating people to change their misperceptions. The goal of my Islamic Cultural Center is to do this by providing a beautiful and serene space of Islamic education, knowledge, discussion, spirituality, and connection, which is currently absent in San Francisco.

6. geometric motifs.

7. Writing – the use of text.

8. exaggeration and inaccuracies.

The characteristics produce a feeling in the artist that is best described as

THE PANIC OF THE VOID

Panic of the Void The Islamic Artist feels a need to completely cover the canvas with design.

Why? It is a process of seeking the truth.

There is a natural biological tendency for humans to fear death.

There is more truth beyond what we see and think we know.

This philosophy pushes you to grow and learn.

It is important to avoid emptiness in our daily lives It is important to use our time wisely doing important things.

Do meaningful things and imagine what is possible.

Using this philosophy in the architecture and design The geometric and floral motifs in Islamic art always show endless connection to each other.

There are no empty spaces in the designs. full coverage of the canvas. there is always key focal points.

“Panic of the Void” and Interior Architecture of this project The designer planning to use this theory of “panic of the void”, as a way of creating interior spaces that create a feeling of completeness to the person inside the spaces.

The patterns are connected and leads you to new spaces There is always something beyond what we can see.

Visual connections between spaces – both in plan and in section.

Geometric motifs as a way to organize circulation.

The designer aim for the completion idea that the Islamic design carry. To the traditional Islamic pattern, the completion is the busy, is the fullness. But I would like to change that. I want to define the completion as being eye full. That when we look at it, we are full and rich with the pattern that we don’t want to see more but the space is actually minimal and simple.

The designer will revise“Panic of the Void” philosophy by mixing the ancient Islamic art with a contemporary style. The inspiration can be found in old inventions, as well as scientific discoveries that have occurred in the past and continue to remain important in the 21st century.

A mosque Muslims must pray five times a day at specific times; they pray in the morning, afternoon, evening and at night. As a result of that, in the Islamic counties there are places of prayer everywhere such as schools, malls, and companies.

The Museum Lobby

Is located in the Basement level, the design began from the patterns on the floor, it started as a simple lines connected to each other, but after that it became busser. Theses motif inspired by the traditional Islamic art patterns. The lines spared to create a connection between itself and everything in the space. The geometric shapes on the walls are repetition to the trappings on the floor. Together they create a nice symmetry. The geometric cubes have been designed by using modern technique to give the place this contemporary looking. Moreover, the shape of the seating area have been designed by using some lines from the floor patterns, this create sense of unity in this area. The visitor will realize that there is one focal point in each space. The Arabic calligraphy patterns on the seats is the focal point in the basement lobby, which is art installation on the wood. They can hire one of the local artist to do it, and this will be one of the art works that it show in the museum. Also, the reason behind making this kind of gray mode in this area is to take the Islamic art from the traditional looking which using a lot of shiny colors.

It gives the floor plan this unique look, and it makes it look like a piece of art itself. In the exhibition area the art works and paintings on the walls are the only focal points in this scene. Moreover, these lines on the ceiling creates a kind of completeness to the space, it gives a sense of entirty to our eyes because nothing’s left empty.

33

The Museum

It is located in the entry level, in using the same thoughts, concepts, and techniques, but in a different way and for a different function. The shape of the cube in this level comes out of the walls creating boxes that has voids in the middle of it. The display windows functions as a stand to hold the artwork. This style was used before but only as a gemotric shape, now it is used to serve a practical function of holding arwork. The voids of the walls and the floor patterns creates beutiful symmetry and connection.

35

The Museum

The focal point of this scene is the contrast between the gray patterns of the backgrounds and the attraction of the bright art pieces.

37

The Bar In The Cafe

The focal point in this scene is art installation, which is modern Arabic calligraphy. Visitors can view the exhibition area by the window that connect the cafe with the exhibition room. The window creates a complete picture following the paintings from the exhibition area through bar in the Cafe. The furniture; such as the stools, bar, tables, and chairs in this scene was customized.

39

The Arabic Cafe

This room completes a cycle. It started as patterns on the floor that became voids on the walls , and after that it became geometric lines on the celling.

41

The Arabic Cafe

The shape of the entrance of the door is cut as one of the geometric shapes on the walls. To connect the entrance with the wall pattern. The material that had been chosen acrylic and the chair cushion is made out of white leather. the turquoise edges on the walls and the tables are architecture laminate material.

43

The Lobby

This lobby is located on level one of the Islamic center. It shows the relationship between how the wall was constructed and the shape of the entrance. The martial that had been chosen for the floor is marble.

Throughout the center there was one color that had been chosen and it is the turquoise. It had been chosen because it is the color of protection and it is used a lot in the Islamic art architecture and design.

45

The Ablution Area

It is located in level three of the center and this is the first thing you will see once you enter. Muslims pray five times a day and they usually wash them self before they pray and this is called Ablution. The atrium, which is the central focus of each level, is already a strong point in the Islamic center but to make it even more stronger the ablution area was designed around it. The material that had been chosen for atrium is a white granite. The seats for the ablution area is made from turquoise mosaic.

47

The Mosque

The mosque has been designed in the highest level to the sky to give the worshipers direct connection with God. In this floor it is getting obvious that there is no meaning for the physical things or the small details that we usually create to make ourself happier. so, the design detials that you see in the cafe or museum, just disappear here. In this floor we can realize the huge difference between the physical world and the spiritual world. This design goes with this philosophy and thought.

So, the design depends on the light, shade, and shadow. the mosqe is present in the spiritual world, that we cannot touch. The pattern on the walls and floor just created naturally by the light and shadows.

49

The Mihrab

The worship area is where the Imam stands to call for prayers to pray with him. when visitors come they will stand in rows next to each other to pray with the Imam. the Imam will stand by himself and others will follow behind him.
