- PROFILE

- EDUCATION

I am a Junior Architect with a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture, Art & Design from the American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. My education and work experience have provided me with core knowledge of architectural design, urban planning, interior design, and furniture making skills. I have also had the opportunity to work in teams with other professionals on various projects. These have enabled me to develop a detailed, elegant, innovative approach to architecture and design which is evident in my work that is symbiotically integrated within its environment.

I aspire to be an intentional and sustainable architect that focuses on materiality, contextuality, and vernacularism. My love for design stems from a strong belief that architecture serves as a cultural marker, housing individuals' unique stories, and their societies. I strive to decode the ways in which architecture may evoke emotions, spark curiosity and improve our lives on a daily the formulation of distinct spatial qualities that allow for unorthodox reactions based on the inhabitants' insight, background, or culture.

01 E-311NTERTAINMENT INTERCHANGE Worked with Professor J. Carlow and S. Khafaghy

Project Location: Ajman, United Arab Emirates

Area: 470,000.00 Square Meters

Tools Utilized: Rhinoceros, Vray 3, Photoshop, Light Room

Type: Academic Work

Project Typology: Mixed-Use (Residential, Commercial, and Entertainment) Urban Development

Generic Tower

By isolating a generic tower, we identify and highlight its core and vertical circulation.

Residential Units

One core is dedicated to affordable housing/ offices, with the other two for entertainment.

Core Isolation

Division of the isolated core into three (3) different free independent/self-sufficient cores.

Entertainment Volumes

Entertainment volumes derived from the 9x9m grid are then incorporated into the residences.

Axial Changes

Cores are then adjusted in height and width whilst shifted in the Z-axis with chamfered edges.

Articulation

Further entertainment programs are integrated into the tower tying it all together.

Project Client: Emirates City Municipality

Project Duration: 12 Weeks

Design Description Amongst the United Arab Emirates, each Emirate is set to have its own strengths in natural resources, square footage, location, and history. However, with Ajman having the smallest footprint and lack of oil reserves there is a constant necessity to finding more sources of economic income. This low economy and lack of competitiveness with more developed emirates make Ajman one of the most affordable rental spots “Dormitory of the Emirates”. Most of its residents work in Sharjah or Dubai and live in Ajman for its affordability. Our project is primarily directed to use the major component that Ajman lacks to boost its own economy and to create a unique competitive identity that would align it with the more developed emirates. This component is what we believe to be a well-rounded and interconnected Entertainment Industry.

Section Perspective

Bridge of Dreams

A slice through three towers showing the seamless amalgamation of distinct functions.

35% of the site is dedicated to entertainment for the pleasure of residents and visitors.

The Epitome of Entertainment Ajman’s “leisure industry” consists of a single shopping mall, a handful of hotels, and a park that inherently does not suit the financial level of most of its residents.

This project attempts to create a Bilbao effect in Ajman by creating an Entertainment City Mega Structure that closely interrogates the synthesis of every possible leisure activity with residential programs with the hope of dissolving social and financial classes. This proposal provides an incentive for Ajman residents to not only stay in Ajman but serves as an attraction for residents of other emirates and tourists from all around the world.

75 - The total number of single mixed-used towers proposed on site, consisting of entertainment services, housing, a tight-knitted business district, sports arenas, etc.

Home is Here

Affordable housing, consisting of 3-bedroom, 2 bedrooms,1 bedroom, and studio apartments.

Business District

Social spaces, connecting bridges workplaces and housing units.

15,000 - Number of residential units designed with over 40 different unit sizes accommodating for all social and financial classes all over Ajman and the world.

Project Status: 100% Completed

Project Year: Spring 2020

City Living Made Easy Similar to the High-line in New York, La Rambla in Barcelona, Belt-Line in Atlanta, Seoullo 7017 in S. Korea we integrated 3 bridges onto the site to encourage, pedestrian circulation as opposed to vehicular in an attempt to decrease carbon footprint on the project site, which will inevitably enhance the sustainability aspect of the design. Each bridge has a very distinct function, the first being an extension of the landscape, with numerous plazas, another being purely for running, equipped with a track, and lastly, the most private designed to take resident workers to and from work.

We asked ourselves what really makes a city? What are cities identified by? Skylines? What makes a great skyline? Is it the height of the skyscrapers? The shade of neon used to light them? Or is it the way the buildings work together to form one complete picture? We think what really matters is you look up at the towers and you say –‘Wow!’ A unique skyline could mark the beginning of a remarkable Era of Entertainment in Ajman.

Perspectival Master Plan

Interlocking programs dissolve the gaps between social classes in Ajman.

Project Studio: "Graduating Thesis Project" Architectural Design Studio VIII (ARC502)

Design Overview As one drives northward from Sharjah on the E311 the skyline of an unfinished city rises out of the desert. Emirates City in Ajman is a dense cluster of towers in various stages of completion lodged in developmental limbo. The district’s banal, repetitive residential towers perched on top of multi-story parking garages are the architectural by-products of global real estate speculation and local building codes. Our design proposal has sought to provide new visions for urban-scale development by interrogating architectural typology in this region of the world and beyond; by not focusing on the design of a single high-rise tower, but on the design of a tower type; specifically a type of building that when multiplied can create a city that is more than the sum of its parts. This project operates at the scale of the building and the scale of the city simultaneously to test how we, as architects, can impact the territory beyond our designated building plot.

02 EMERGING FROM THE TRASH Worked with Professor G. Newlands, M. Krajekian, and S. Dias

Project Location: Lagos, Nigeria

Area: 437,850.00 Square Meters

Tools Utilized: Maya, Grasshopper, Rhinoceros, Twinmotion, Photoshop

Type: Academic Work

Project Typology: Multi-Purpose Stadium (Idiosyncratic Amusement Park) Urban Development

Project Hypothesis Until recently in Lagos, the Nigerian megalopolis handled its waste by relocation. It seemed simple to drive waste outside of town to the 100-acre Olusosun dump site beginning in 1992. Since then, Lagos is estimated to be the fastest-growing metropolis in the world, expanding from a population of 7 million to over 21 million. The landfill site that was once far from any urban activity is now surrounded by it. Earlier this year, Olusosun was shut down by the local government and slated for redevelopment as an urban green space and public park. Perhaps a vision for the new park could include an anchor program that incorporates new attitudes relating to waste. In the urban core, space is something rarely taken for granted. Yet, the most profound and expensive modern-day constructions humanity builds, continue to underperform. The stadium is a revered place, but one with benefits that rarely extend beyond servicing a small portion of the population.

Abule Egba - Orile: Abule Egba is a neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria. The neighborhood was the site of a petroleum pipeline explosion, the 2006 Abule Egba pipeline explosion, which occurred on December 26, 2006.

In 2016, the Lagos Government began construction of a brand new flyover in the neighborhood to ease the traffic caused by millions of persons plying its road daily. The bridge was completed and commissioned in May 2017.

600

Lagos Lagoon: Lagos Lagoon is a lagoon sharing its name with the city of Lagos, Nigeria, the most populous city in Africa, which lies on its south-western side. The name of the city 'Lagos' already means 'lakes' in the Portuguese language so 'Lagos Lagoon' is an example of a tautological place name. The lagoon is 50 km long and 3 to 13 km wide, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a long sand spit 2 to 5 km wide, which has swampy margins on the side. Its surface area is 6,354.7 km².

500

International Aiport: The airport located in Ikeja was built during World War II. Originally known as Lagos International Airport, but it was renamed in the mid-1970s, during construction of the new international terminal, after a former Nigerian head of state, Military Murtala Muhammed.

The international terminal was modeled after Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The new terminal opened officially on the 15th of March 1979. It is the main base for Nigeria's largest airline, Arik Air.

Oregun - Allen Ave: Allen is a popular street in Lagos, In the day it is a busy high net worth business district with a lot of Nigerian banks, financial and telecommunication company branches. Other businesses include high street fashion retail outlets and other heavyweight businesses. At night, it assumes a new complexion, and the neon lights of the strip clubs that only reflect at dusk are lit. Arguably the most high-paying place for street prostitution in Lagos.

SITE

The Mile 12 market, located in Ketu, is one of the biggest marketplaces in the state. It is the choice destination for wholesale and retail shopping, for food stock. The market, over the years, has been able to hold its own despite strict competition from other businesses in the state. The market has been able to remain relevant for over 20 years, by creating a niche for itself. Mile 12 is the most common name on the lips of traders when food items are discussed.

Ikeja - Maryland: Ikeja is the capital of Lagos State in southwestern Nigeria. Its population, as of the 2006 census, is 313,196. Prior to the emergence of military rule in the early 1980s, Ikeja was a well-planned, clean and quiet residential/commercial town with shopping malls, pharmacies, and government reservation areas. Ikeja is also home to Femi Kuti's Africa Shrine and Lagbaja's Motherland, both venues for live music. Its Ikeja City Mall is the largest mall on the mainland.

Project Status: 100% Complete

Project Year: Fall 2018

Design Description With the integration of the site’s unique history, materials, and tradition, how the project emerges from the trash can be encapsulated into 8 vivid phases where solar electricity, recycled materials, soil transformation, water/wind harvesting, and phytoremediation coalesce together to create alluring spaces with a myriad of purposes. Upon unfolding the landfill through intricate manipulation of the trash’s topography, whilst giving careful consideration towards circulation networks and light quality the site evolves into an idiosyncratic amusement park, therefore activating it on a quotidian basis. These spaces create a cohesive entity that believes in learning from the past, transforming in the present, and striving for greatness in the future. This proposal, more importantly, allows the stadium to serve as a financial, educational, and recreational anchor for the rehabilitated site and country as a whole.

Design Overview Upon thorough research and analysis of the site and Lagos at large, Emerging from the Trash proposes a construction timeline plan executed in 8 phases across 5 years. Firstly, the recycling center is introduced to the site to remediate/recycle the construction materials; whilst sustaining itself with pre-installed solar panels for generating electricity Next, the remediated trash is used to create landforms that then establish the loop system which incorporates a running track, a pedestrian walkway, a bicycle lane, and a two-way vehicular pathway, with the stadium integrated into the primary landform. Inhabitable spaces and light wells are then created for the stadium before adding the final element of the stadium, which is the roof, with solar panel fabric as its material. Last in the phase is the introduction of the amusement park through the articulation of the remaining landforms and the insertion of the roller coaster across the whole site.

Roller Coaster Experience

The main expression of amusement creates multiple experiences along its path whilst intricately connecting all the distinct programs on site.

Project Award: 3rd Place attendance in the 5th Inspireli Award

Project Stage: Design Development

On The Bridge

Mounds formed through the natural topography of the landfill trash creates indoor amusement spaces, underground bazaar, and bridges that disperse social spaces through the site to give life to what was once a wasteland creating a cohesive entity.

The Loop

The primary form of circulation that meanders through the site is made of recycled rubber and concrete fabricated from plastic.

The drum wall that surrounds the site is made from diesel drums that are widely used (and not re-purposed) in the country.

03 MUWEILAH PUBLIC LIBRARY Worked with Professor M. Oliver

Project Location: Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Area: 1,350.00 Square Meters

Tools Utilized: Sketchup, Lumion, AutoCAD, Keyshot, Photoshop

Type: Academic Work

Project Typology: Public Educational Library

Project Invitation In an acknowledgment of the growing need for public space in Sharjah, I was invited to participate in a competition held by the Architectural Office of HH Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qassimi for a public space and library building in the Al Muweilah mixed-use residential area. The Sheikh has been committed for many years to the development of the Emirate, both as a center of culture and learning and as a thriving and unified community. With the rapid growth of Sharjah, it's not easy to govern its inevitable urban sprawl; so in the spirit of inclusivity, the project was expected to be universally accessible, a project that provides public spaces and cultural services that cater to all classes and ages of the residents of Sharjah. The Sheikh's Administration was also adamant that the proposal does not exceed the volumetric parameters established by the existing and adjacent buildings, as it is essentially an infill to the existing urban pattern.

Water/Air Proofing Elements and Concrete Detail

In urban planning, infill is the re-dedication of land in an urban environment, it also applies within an urban policy to construction on any undeveloped land that is not on the urban margin. Infill housing is the insertion of additional units into an already approved subdivision or community.

Suburban infill describes the development of land in existing suburban areas that was left vacant during the development of the suburb. It is one of the tenets of the new urbanism and smart growth trends of urging densification to reduce the need for automobiles, encourage walking, and ultimately save energy.

With this knowledge, a library infill is the intricate placement of a physical building, room, or virtual space that has a deep collection (of which includes books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, etc.) within a defined community. A library is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, a corporation, or a private individual.

Project Publication: Exhibited on the Colleges Annual Newsletter

Project Stage: Construction Documents

Design Description Through in-depth site analysis, it was discovered that the site is characterized by the multiplicity of users, hence why this design proposal intends to serve the commercial, residential and educational zones of Muweilah. Whilst reflecting on the influence of nature in architecture and investigating the human experience/perception of drastic light within a certain spatial construct, the primary function was to provide an anchor to the community that offers spaces for reading, research, work, and contemplation.

The formal proposal of the library evolved from an initial pinwheel plan which rotated creating several dynamic social platforms; these spaces then mutated into 3 major and drastically different types of exterior conditions 1.)

The elevated plaza 2.) The sunken courtyard 3.) The study garden balcony; These unique spatial qualities inevitably break the banal repetitiveness of the existing site condition.

Auditorium Transverse Section

With a certain design language established, the unorthodox gesture of the auditorium and ramp initiates hierarchy.

Page. 31

Project Materials: Concrete, Glass Panels, Steel, Wood

Elevated Entrance

The four-leveled library is primarily entered from an elevated multi-purpose plaza. With minimal columns, interior spaces are continuous and spacious, allowing for the upper floors to consist of more open and transitional spaces. Programmatically, as the floor levels go up, the privacy and intimacy of the building also increase.

Bibliotheque Interior

The facade is treated with a dynamic grid system that breaks down the stereotomic nature of the surrounding buildings. The intricate placement of glass on the facade allows for an increased experiential quality of the building's interior through the use of sunlight at different times and degrees. Concrete panels which mimic the cities architecture keep privacy and reduce noise.

Project Plot Number: University City: 345/19

Completion Date: 29th November 2017

Design Overview This design proposal for an infill library was outlined to provide and develop a facility that will cater to the issues of a multi-cultural society: access to information, potential gathering, and achievement of a higher degree of community identity. Ofcourse along the years, the project can begin to evolve and do much more than what is proposed; it can efficiently and seamlessly host courses and workshops, promote exhibitions, host seminars, and provide spaces and opportunities tailored for children, parents, and families, not only from the emirate of Sharjah but for other intellectuals and scholars alike from all around the world. This design meets basic accessibility standards, moving beyond the problems and limitations created by an undeveloped local infrastructure. Three parking spaces are provided, and all spaces (interior and exterior) are accessible to a person in a wheelchair.

Infill Library

The low-gridded, high-density urban fabric of the Muweilah District in Sharjah is a rigid archipelago of building blocks that have been mapped as a succession of structural episodes starting from the late 1900s.

Distribution Unit

The helipad is designated for the transportation and distribution of all the goods, amenities, and resources.

Inbuilt Furniture

All restaurants, cafe's and supermarkets either have outside terraces or inbuilt furniture.

Administrative Pod

Designed with spatial clarity this pod serves as the anchor for the site without interrupting its continuity.

Interior Corridor and Bridge

The bridges, not only serve as circulation through the various pods, but also as vantage points for views.

Research and Technology Section

With education the primary solution to the inherent problem, this unit serves as the parks information hub.

Sustainable Design for The Anthropocene

Relationship to Site Context

Pop-out bridges/doors/windows terminate circulation axes creating an indirect connection to the exterior.

Aquaponics

The ponds are scattered across the site to be able to integrate multiple cycles.

The United Nations projects that the global population will increase from 7.3 billion in 2015 to 9.7 billion in 2050. This growth will be concentrated in the world’s poorest countries, where standards of living are set to rise rapidly, increasing demand for resource-intensive dairy products. Together, these trends are heightening fears that the world’s cabinets may run bare in the coming decades. This scenario leads to the nearly ubiquitous assertion that we must double world food production by 2050, which is widely repeated by several agribusinesses and scholars alike. This claim is often coupled with calls to reduce impacts on the environment even as food production ramps up. The common prescription is for a sustainable intensification of agriculture that both increases yield and reduces the harmful side effects of tilling billions of acres of land. This project aims to tackle the creation of an urban farm, designed to produce food for the city of Barcelona and the areas surrounding it. This farm will use hydroponics, aquaponics, and other food-producing systems to design a vertical farm in the center of Poble Nou that includes restaurants, classes, housing, and a supermarket.

Project Status: 100% Completed

Project Year: Fall 2019

Project Thesis Taking into consideration the site’s unique location, history, existing conditions, and traditions, as well as the inevitable increase in global population and rise in food demand, the project proposes a techno-farm park that incorporates marketing and purchasing services, generation and recovery systems, research and educational amenities and lastly, food production facilities (hydroponics/aquaponic) which operate as the primary integral component of all these programs, exponentially increasing their output and production levels through the introduction of innovative tools and ingenious technologies within the different fields.

Formally there are key moments in the architecture that are persistent in the design such as regular and inverted pitched roofs, sunken plazas, pop-out doors and windows, linearity in the treatment of landscape, etc. all of which are influenced by and behave as a visual and physical link to the site. These features together with the diverse programs of the park aim to create a self-sufficient yet inter-dependent entity that provides for the people of Barcelona.

Site Section

The project's form revolves around the idea of a pitched roof. Illustrated above is the visual and physical connectivity through the extended canopy to the pitched roof of adjacent buildings (Old vs New, Traditional vs Contemporary).

Page. 39

Project Studio: "Barcelona Study Abroad Project" Architectural Design Studio VII (ARC501)

Public Plaza

Public plazas, some shaded and others open, are utilized for the planting of various types of trees, water catchment systems, social events, and pedestrian circulation.

Canopy and Pod Connection

Site specificity is further achieved through the wooden canopy, a physical and visual connection to adjacent buildings, that allows for the merging of existing and new plazas.

Landscape Treatment

Designed in bands or strips, the landscape includes benches, circulation, water elements, and vegetation, that allow for different material treatments specific to the adjacent pods.

Aquaponics Pond

Each pond has a two-way nutrient provision, waste water recycling, crop production, water purification, and landscape features, creating more flexibility than conventional systems.

Completion Date: 13th of December 2019

Project Stage: Design Development

Sunken Market Plaza on the North West Facade

A vast majority of the pods on-site are lifted off the ground, to allow for permeability, transparency and to encourage visual connections between the various functions of the project. Another means of inciting socializing is through the sunken plazas which also allow for the extension of the food market below and outside.

Supermarkets/Restaurants on the North East Facade

With the use of the restaurants and markets as the structure for the hydroponics, we are able to cantilever some distance, hence creating shading and seating areas. The structure of this cantilever along with the HVAC units are then placed within the inverted pitched roof.

MASTER PLANS "Translating the unconventional ideas that I utilized in school to more rational projects on a grander scale in a professional setting was a unique experience. But as a friend once said... Although architecture should compliment the current time, it should also thrive for timelessness; as architecture outlives its creator and will forever be part of this evolutionary world."

Project Stage: Schematic Design

Project Year: 2018

Project Hypothesis Amid the rapid economic growth in the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan has seen an impressive expansion in the past nine years, with a nine-fold increase in its GDP. In order to keep up with this development and secure its place as an international player, the Government of Azerbaijan is investing heavily in infrastructure and economic regeneration with several redevelopment programs.

At the center of this development is Baku city and its bay, which are being transformed into a modern waterfront development. As a result the current port of Baku, situated in the middle of the bay, and other industrial marine infrastructure, is to be moved away from the city center. While the port of Baku, transport hub, and other industrial facilities relocate, Baku Bay will be transformed from an industrial bay into a modern waterfront, including prime real estate developments improving the cities traffic levels, creating an improved environment and city experience.

Promenade

Along the strip of the promenade are vivid illustrations of the numerous potential improvements to Baku's economy as opportunities for new developments and jobs become available and improvements to infrastructure such as water, sewage, and electricity networks are made.

The new Mutrah Souq Development has been designed to 245 respect the authenticity of the place and as an extension to the old souq. The souq enclave has been designed such that the building mass self shades public areas. This provides an ambient and comfortable temperature for the pedestrians at street level. The lower areas are created to cater to the loud buzzing retail activity where a shopper would meander through unique activated alleyways and lush green plaza spaces. The upper segments of the superstructure are lined with luxurious urban hotels and service apartments to accommodate travelers visiting Mutrah.

Culturally, many people come to Mutrah Corniche to visit the souq, which retains the chaotic interest of a traditional Arab market albeit housed under modern timber roofing. Shops selling Omani and Indian artefacts together with art antiques © 2018 RMJM-FZ LLC jostle among more traditional textile, hardware, and stone jewelry stores. It is only fitting that the architecture proposed revitalizes the souq district, whilst providing top-of-the-shelf residential, hospitality, and business amenities.

Through the introduction of the plaza, local businesses flourish, enhancing the pedestrian experience.

Project Stage: Schematic Design

Hospitality/Residential Enclave - Theme B Branded villas and apartments with modern facilities are a part of an attractive landscape and neighborhood living.

Each villa is designed to have unobstructed views of the sea and mountain ranges. Boutique hotels perched atop peaks would provide unrivaled views of the horizon. The formal architectural design is inspired by traditional Omani roots blended with modern contemporary aesthetics.

The age of the new high-tech lifestyle is designed around the new commercial district of theme b. This part of the ingenious development is designed to attract and provide growth-related opportunities to global business houses, large companies, and corporates. The main boulevard will consist of high-end retail opportunities and uber-luxury modern-styled living. The street would be further activated with coordinated street lighting, led billboards, signage, and projections onto buildings.

This design process culminates in integrating traditions from the roots of Oman to the modern innovative lifestyle.

Living Made Easy

The use of mashrabiya, the proximity of houses, and the narrow streets reduce carbon footprint, decrease wind speed, provide cool breeze and privacy, insulate houses, all whilst benefiting the local economy.

SACRED-SPACE "Sacred spaces exemplify some of the most exciting and challenging architecture today. Studying in a city is defined by its culture but more so by its religion and faith. It was inevitable, that I would be tasked with designing a place of communication with divinity, a sacred space. My process/solutions were driven by inspiration from my first-hand experiences."

08 BATHING RITUAL Worked with Professor C. Luchetti

Project Location: Berlin, Germany

Area: 740.50 Square Meters

Tools Utilized: Rhinoceros, Enscape, Photoshop, Lightroom

Type: Academic Work

Project Typology: Spiritual Construct - Wellness Center/Spa

Design Description Bathing Ritual is a literal and conceptual expansion from the previous project named "The Wall" in three dimensions/axes to generate a construct that accommodates and more importantly, celebrates inhabitation. Whilst restricted within a bounding box (4 meters high: above grade and 1 meter deep: below-grade x 10 meters long x 3.5 meters wide) this project uses variables from "The Wall" to provide for an experientially sublime space of meditative contemplation constructed around the ritual of bathing. All aspects of the design and program are contained within the bounding box and the overall proposal maintains the clarity of space's 'wall-ness'. The design considers mass, volume, gravity, orientation, threshold, light, shadow, sequence, time, ground, texture, view, and human comfort in all its potential manifestations. Located on a generic site in Berlin, Germany, solar orientation and prevailing wind direction were important factors in the final form.

About the Site Nudism is traditionally popular in Germany, a country considered buttoned up and conservative compared with, let's say, Italy. In Germany, nudism is known as Freikoerperkultur (FKK), Free Body Culture. When you travel there, you'll see that baring all is normal in saunas, swimming pools, and on the beach. Summer in the parks of Berlin and Munich brings the chance of encountering a middle-aged, bronzed German wearing only a hat and the BILD-Zeitung, Germany's favorite tabloid. Forget sausages and beer, the sign of true German-ness is publicly disrobing with absolutely zero self-consciousness. It's often just quicker and easier to do a clean strip at the pool or sauna than frantically trying to hide the bits that everyone else is already displaying without batting an eyelid. Moreover, this design proposal seamlessly integrates the traditional culture of Berlin with more contemporary and modernist notions of spatial privacy.

Natatio - Open Air Bathing Pool

Caldarium - Hot

The hot room is built from layer upon layer of locally quarried Valser Quarzite bricks which become the driving inspiration for the design and are used with great respect.

The design was driven by the fascination for the mystic qualities of a world of brick within a city, for darkness and light, for light reflections on the water or in the steam saturated air, pleasure in the unique acoustics of the bubbling water in a world of brick, a feeling of warm bricks and naked skin, the ritual of bathing.

Design Overview This space was designed for visitors to luxuriate and rediscover the ancient benefits of bathing. The combinations of light and shade, open and enclosed spaces, and linear elements make for a highly sensuous and restorative experience. The underlying informal layout of the internal space is a carefully modeled path of circulation that leads bathers to certain predetermined points but lets them explore other areas for themselves. The perspective is always controlled. It either ensures or denies a view. The meander, as I call it, is a designed negative space between the blocks, a space that connects everything as it flows throughout the entire building, creating a peacefully pulsating rhythm. Moving around this space means making discoveries. You are walking as if you are in the woods. Everyone there is looking for a path of their own.

The Ritual of Bathing

A “wellness temple” summarized in its simplicity the meaning of life through the metaphor of the water cycle. A first glance doesn’t reveal that the structure is dedicated to the cult of the bathhouse, although it has transformed into a 21st-century temple of relaxation which includes all the signature features—from jacuzzi to steam bath.

Base Carving

The base allows for varying programs and efficient circulation accesses in/out of public and private zones.

Interconnection

The X and Y planes that run across the length of both sides of the site for the enclosure are linked.

Negative Space

Programs are booleaned out of the gridded box, creating a distinction between porous and dense spaces.

Project Client: Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Project Duration: 8 Weeks

Design Description Al Khan mosque is a proposal for a spiritual construct that not only serves the religious purposes of the residents in and around the Al Khan Corniche street in Sharjah, U.A.E. but unorthodoxly integrates the serenity of a masjid with the chaos that lingers within public spaces through the lens of conceptual design. This project is a potential step to enhancing the urban life in the area, whilst providing and reflecting on the characteristics of prayer and reflection spaces as outlined in the Islamic tradition as both a personal and collective spiritual expression all while promoting the culture of the religion. The spiritual construct provides solutions that integrate essential elements of a historical sacred space such as the sahn (courtyard), riwaq (arcade or portico), the prayer hall, and the mihrab wall (an-arched niche indicating the prayer direction) with contemporary architectural attitudes.

Section Overload Encapsulated on this spread is an in-depth view into the design through section cuts presenting nuanced solutions towards material, structure, enclosure, and landscape to deliver a coherent and integrated spatial construct. The design process required the integration of critical thinking as well as analytical skills with highly controlled space-making techniques that continue to be explored within the project. Although this project is rather modest in size, it is expansive in scope, offering various compelling spatial conditions and detailed tectonic solutions that inevitably enhance urban, domestic, and sacred activities. These sections also reveal the various distinct components; for example, the main prayer hall which caters to public function, the domestic quarters of the Imam, the female ablution space, etc. The final expression encourages and exhibits a complex understanding of integrated, cultural, spatial, and structural systems.

Project Studio: "Sacred Space" Architectural Design Studio IV (ARC302)

Veranda

Green roofs of the library, soup kitchen, lecture rooms, etc. all contribute to the insulation of the building, and the improved air quality, helping to lower urban air temperatures and combat the heat island effect.

Spiritual Construct

A space dominated by light underlining its sacredness and at the same time fostering meditation and prayer.

The Importance of A Mosque A mosque is generally a very symbolic place for a Muslim, being a humble way for Muslims to recreate pure divine presence on earth. The primary purpose of the mosque is to serve as a place where Muslims can come together for prayer. Nevertheless, mosques are known around the world nowadays for their Islamic architecture but most importantly for their general vitality to the Muslim Ummah (community).

Tier 4

Envisaged as the final piece of the mosque, one that reflects the journey from the temporal to the spiritual.

Male Prayer Space

The tectonic verticality of the structure creates a spiritual atmosphere for the main prayer area.

A mosque brings the community together as it acts as many things, a social/community center, and more importantly an educational center, etc. as it has many events which welcome both old and new members of the mosque. It is required for all men to attend mosque on Friday for Jumu'ah. On Friday the sermons have a strong practical slant, that hopes to integrate and apply Islamic beliefs and historical teachings into our contemporary daily life. Sermons are significant in bringing the community together as the congregation is standing side by side in a line, facing Mecca, together, all united in their faith and worship of Allah. The Minaret is shaped like a pencil which is thought of as representational of education.

Project Materials: Steel, Concrete, Glass

Project Year: Spring 2018

Design Overview Al Khan mosque complex is composed of the main mosque volume, a library, plaza's, education and lecture halls, study rooms, accompanied with a “soup kitchen”, shopping malls, coffee shops, which all strengthen the idea of unity, getting together and socializing as a community, with the availability of social and cultural activities around the site. Similarly, the structure of the atrium represents the gathering function of the mosque with its structural units converging to compose the prayer space. The complex, not only acts as a continuous interactive space but also respects its user’s privacy. Ablution space and the main prayer area are separated from the rest of the complex by different levels of the entrance.

The structural system utilized in the mosque creates a strong thermal buffer zone between the main mass and the outside.

This system also helps to keep the calm environment in the prayer area, facilitates internal heating in winter, and also protects the interior zone from rain, snow, and wind. In summer the thermal buffer zone creates a cooler zone for both primary and secondary volumes.

North West Entrance

Different levels of entrances enable the gradual transition from public to semi-public and finally to private spaces of the mosque.

ART & DESIGN "My under-graduate school experience was highly influenced by fabrication, kern laser cutting, robotics, 3D-Printing, CNC-Routing, hand-made and digital models; paintings, pencil, pen, and charcoal sketches as well as many other preliminary design exercises.

Here are design skills I acquired in my foundation that I relentlessly tried to convey in my architecture."

Project Name: 'Invisible Cities' - Descriptive Drawing (DES111)

Volumetric Exploration I (Two-Point Perspective)

Using a singular cube of 30x30m, I explore various vertically orientated volumetric transformations, within a predetermined bounding box.

Volumetric Exploration III (Facade)

This drawing explores congruence, symmetry, reflection, translation, and rotation of a 30x30m cube relative to a reference, such as a line or a point.

Volumetric Exploration II (Two-Point Perspective)

The development of transformable volumes needs to respond horizontally to the site challenges which could not be fulfilled through conventional static structures.

Volumetric Exploration IV (Facade)

Through 'Dimensional Transformation', a form can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain its identity as a member of a family of forms.

Tools Utilized: Charcoal, Pencil, White Kraft Paper

Project Duration: 2 Weeks

Project Description This Applied Project utilizes unique drawing instructions and drawing methods to understand how we as artists can identify and more importantly transform the mundane surroundings that we live in into endless possibilities of invisible cities. I began with a review of art transformative literature and how it presents an analysis of developmental processes in conjunction with drawing instruction and its relation to drawing methods. I focused on the artistic architectural methods within a traditional and non-traditional school setting (the emergency exit door of the American University of Sharjah). Through observation, intricate analysis, and reflection, information was collected and analyzed for naturalistic generalizations, so that this applied project could address the value of metamorphosis. Illustrated are explorations of the endless possibilities of imagination, and my realization of the phrases "the world is your oyster" and "what life could be beyond that door".

Invisible Cities - Metamorphosis Art

A final one-point perspective collaged iteration proposes a change in spatial quality within the emergency exit at the foundation basement of A.U.S. The concept adds something new, with a further purpose for the word 'emergency' creating a different characteristic to the atmosphere, whilst maintaining the original use of the space.

Project Name: 'Behavioral Construct' - Structures for Architects (ARC342)

Side Elevation

Conventional structures tend to be stabilized by the action of gravity on their mass which holds them in compression. However, this structure was designed to be stabilized by tension rather than compression.

Back Elevation

This system is formed from short, solid, straight linear members, in which the redirection of forces is affected by the multi-directional splitting of a single force simply to tension or compressive elements.

Tools Utilized: Grasshopper, Karamba, Mahogany Wood, Steel Cables

Project Duration: 4 Weeks

Project Description This course was fundamental and necessary in helping me develop a good understanding of structural elements by introducing me to the numerous classifications and behaviors of structural elements and systems most relevant to architectural design. Through the thorough discussions of topics on the fundamentals of structural analysis, types, and classifications of structural dynamics, properties, and performance capacity of the primary building materials and structural elements; we (Nada Khalaf, Mariam Jacob, and myself) were able to build a structurally behavioral construct that utilized rigid square-sectioned wood elements in compression and steel cables in tension. This structure was designed to support itself for a span of 120cm, be tested to the point of destruction - carry a minimum weight of 75kg, all whilst costing a reasonable amount of money for production.

OTHER WORKS "My journey through architecture school these five years has definitely not been easy, but I believe all the sacrifices I made have paid off well in regards to my assimilated knowledge, perception of the world, and also in my belief and approach to architecture. I believe that the good and the greats amongst us are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice."
