The vision for this project was to create a musical hub to bring together all the local and up-and-coming artists of UAE. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a rising star looking to gain some publicity, Resonance has something to offer you. The entire project layout is tied together by visual and physical links to the live arena. As this live arena is open air, we have introduced a retractable ETFE canopy that can slide over rails and shad the area during the summer months as well as other passive strategies including a shallow water body to bring down the temperature of the area. Target group Performance centre that acts a platform for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to form a supportive musical community in the heart of Dubai Hub for upcoming local musical talents and groups and also an academy that trains musical enthusiasts in various instruments and vocals

The aim throughout this project is to achieve a design that is in sync with all the design lenses and one that emerges as an Iconic structure to the public. Rehearsal block

The left depicts a comfortable living condition and the right, an unacceptable one. The colors and their intentity represent activities and functions blurring into each other As the transition takes place, it is evident how the living, movement, spaces for activities, level of privacy and boundary is brought to a minimum.
The illustration depicts the cramped living conditions in relation to the wider context of Hong Kong. One of the root causes for the crisis is only 6% of total land being zoned for ‘housing’. The grey areas around are unbuilt land such as historical locations, natural parks, retail, commercial, uneven terrian, etc. The drawing shows how all of Hong Kong’s housing is concentrated within a small space, taking away most of its potential for public spaces.
The left shows Hong Kong’s comfortable living condition whereas the right transitions into its unacceptable living conditions - subdivided flats, coffins and cubicles. The left has enough space for one unit, wider streets and more potential for public open spaces. The right shows a densely populated area with a mixed use of space. Not enough space for one person, and no space whatsoever for public open spaces. As the city transitions, it is seen to be approaching a situation of darkness, which shows the large percentage of the population that is confined to these areas and how it affects their state of mind.
HONG KONG HOUSING CRISIS STUDY ON SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS
THE PROJECT GROW IN THE GRID
Housing is a basic human right. It should be available to everyone. At present, most people have basic shelters, but what makes it a home, their home is the sense of ownership and belonging that the house gives them. The project located in Al Rigga, Dubai - aims to set a lifestyle example by redefining standard housing through a self-build system that fits different user requirements. Units are grown along a grid that enables constant change. Every resident gets their own living cube and a bicycle. They grow their own produce in communal farms that are sold in a resident-run farmer’s market. The system as a whole works together to give the user a sense of belonging within that community and the green cubes add to communal spaces and enhance the wellbeing of the user. In addition, the project also focuses on the wider context by bringing in the public through cycle paths, public spaces and the farmer’s market in order to cater to the wider public of Rigga.

Walls for the Farmer’s market block are built using white extruded polyurethane panels fixed to the steel frame. The living cubes are also be built with extruded polyurethane panels which will come as a kit of parts that fit together with basic building tools. This can easily be built in a day by the user.
Testing the manifesto
Once the user decides to move out, the living cube is can be dismantled and stored for the next coming user, making it a sustainable option.

SITE GATE VILLAGE, DIFC
OCAL CONTEXT - DUBAI AND DIFC
ITE ANALYSIS
SITE ANAL
During 80s and 90s, Dubai’s goal was to become the Economic hub or centre of the world. At the time, Dubai exempted trade for foreign countries, due to which a large number of countries used it as a node in their routes.Dubai became a node that interlocks the rest of the world. In recent years Dubai is also known to be a major holiday destination as well as sports hub. The Architecture hub could play a very similar role in Gate village and in DIFC altogether.

THE INTERLOCK ARCHITECTS HUB The primary aim of the Architecture Foundation is to try and act as an example to make a shift in the way we think of architecture, to Dubai and extend this to the rest of the world. It demonstrates how buildings can be designed to bring about a strong indoor-outdoor connection with the use of built and non-built(green) spaces.

Although DIFC has been built as a united district on its own, we do not really see much unity when we walk around. Almost all functional and communal spaces such as restaurants, breakout spaces, etc. are either pushed under- ground or to the roofs. So when we walk along the outdoors, there is little or not life and character. If The Architectural Foundation is able to have that one function or quality that the DIFC crowd needs, it would be able to have that pull over the crowd. But at the same time, having an exclusive feature that no other building in DIFC has. If every building is a “stand alone”, the Foundation should THAT “stand alone” that invites everyone towards it.

MA OF WIND Ryuichi Ashizawa
House plot Road access Adjacent plot

Ma is a Japanese word which can be roughly translated as “gap”, “space”, or “the space between two structural parts.” It suggests ‘interval’. It is best described as a consciousness of place, not in the sense of an enclosed three-dimensional entity, but rather the simultaneous awareness of form and non-form deriving from an intensification of vision.
3 4 5 6
Ma is not something that is created by compositional elements; it takes place in the imagination of the human who experiences these elements. Therefore, ma can be defined as experiential place understood with emphasis on interval. 7

JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE
Japanese architecture has been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding doors (fusuma) were used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a space to be customized for different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor, traditionally; chairs and high tables were not widely used until the 20th century. Since the 19th century, however, Japan has incorporated much of Western, modern, and post-modern architecture into construction and design, and is today a leader in cutting-edge architectural design and technology.
