Hello!! I’m Ermina Cemal, currently studying architecture at Amity University in Dubai for my bachelor's degree. Architecture has given me a new perspective on my creativity, and I hope to learn even more along the way. I am motivated to open my mind to new ideas and opportunities. I'm looking forward to an internship to broaden my knowledge and help me advance in my profession. I will be constantly looking for solutions to the new direction I've chosen and applying my new discoveries to projects that reflect my understanding of architecture work.

Housing

Site Analysis

Karama, a bustling, multiracial neighborhood, gives a glimpse into a completely different aspect of the city. The majority of the structures on the site are between five and six stories tall. The studio's major goal was to create community housing that made the most use of the available space while overcoming the difficulties of traditional social housing's loaded environments.

The facade system is mostly made up of double-glazed frosted glass, which will be more prevalent on the south side of the building than on the north side due to the presence of more sunshine on that side. The frosted glass will prevent direct sunlight from entering the apartment and heating it up, instead allowing calm sunlight to enter and creating patterns as the sunlight hits the flat's window.

The Venturi effect describes the pressure differential between a building's interior and outside, as well as the natural flow caused by it. This method can be used to produce natural ventilation between structures with the use of the bridges around the building.

The Social Element

With socialization in mind, this project has included facilities for sports such as volleyball, basketball, and football courts. There are other spaces where residents may exercise. Bridges connecting all buildings are constructed so that occupants may roam about and take in the scenery. There are also playgrounds for youngsters and a bicycle track around the courtyard's periphery.
