To rethink a space is to treat it as a core for a multidisplinary vision. Buildings are unbound segments of a larger landscape or an urban fabric, and perhaps a multiverse.

BROOKLYN GREENWAY INITIATIVE Research Assistant

Introduction Architect with a progressively responsible experience in design. My experience encompasses more than 2 years of professional architecture and design experience Throughout my career, I have demonstrated solid leadership qualities and acquired significant skills.

Moreover, I have extensive networking at the international level. Furthermore, my educational background and experience gives me a deep commitment to issues of architecture and design management including, but not limited to, strategic planning and management, quality assurance, and monitoring of plans and budgets.

During my graduate work, I completed a series of classes on teaching and training methods and a practicum that I greatly benefited from. This includes Boyer’s four areas of scholarship: teaching and learning, discovery, creation, and integration. Finally, I believe that progressive success comes from a lifetime commitment to learning.

Cosmosque: Djerba Historical types being rethought by engaging Social Welfare program Adv. Studio V Masters Thesis Instructor: Ziad Jamaleddine Djerba, Tunisia Fall 2020

This studio will investigate the reconceptualization of religious architecture, namely the mosque, as a means through which to engage social welfare programs a critical undertaking at a time when, under the weight of the pandemic and other economic and environmental challenges, societies across the world are experiencing unprecedented levels of the lack of access to public services.

Largest island of Africa in the city of Galala, surrounding mosques were deserted and abandoned. Can the mosque reenact the programmatic intervention?.

Identifying the mosques and paving the way into expanding envelopes.

Historical types being rethought by engaging Social Welfare program, Multiply and comparatively of site that becomes an integral part of a cosmosque.

Project will contribute to the unfolding epistemological shift in the discipline of architectural history by claiming a building type long excluded from Western architectural discourse: the mosque. The established historicization of mosque architecture has resulted in a narrow and reductive understanding of this building type. In contrast, Cosmosque is a call to conceptually re-imagine the mosque: re-casting it as an evolving typology and touching on questions of the sacred and the profane, environmental and social stewardship, adaptive reuse, and the relationship of architecture to the city and to the landscape.

The Scale of time, the buzz of backward and forward that becomes a possible future. The alchemy of the crowd is so fascinating and how bodies in space in the stadium find manifestation. The form of the stadium sits between complex archaeological layerings. The distribution of the logic through excavation where the oval becomes the forest. Elements creating a dialogue. What are the possibilities of thinking about architecture as an archaeological site?

That needs to be disrupted in some way. A set of conditions are harmonized around the site. Utopia and heterotopia being implemented (The chemistry of the crowd forming a certain condition of heterotopian outside the stadium).

Different interventions are assembled and come together with the issue of memory and time.

The project celebrates the geographic uniqueness of the place and is strategically positioned on the edge of the vertical drop of the terrain, fulfilling the dual function of turning to the landscape while facilitating access to it from the flat terrain platform. A Journey allows the unexpected discovery of diverse spaces with doors and corridors leading to unknown havens. The texture materials light sound creates stillness in a contemplative environment natural and artificial light filters through to each space differently via rectangles in the roof and via slots. At night the light glows from the interior surfaces highlighting the hinchliffe basalt stone which is compact, fine-grained, and glassy.further altering the visual quality of the interconnected spaces.

Panoramic passes connect for the interior to the exterior where opening there are glimpses of else and the surroundings seem almost surreal in the context of feeling of euphoria and total immersion.

The least We Can Do: Energy Plan Solar energy harvesting for highefficiency technologies Adv. Architectural Design Studio VI Masters Thesis Critics: Emmett Zeifman Princeton, New Jersey Summer 2021

The studio begins from a loose, and intuitive, analogy. As the late-19th and early-20th century architecture of the industrial economy was to the culture and urbanism of late capitalism, so will the late 20th century architecture of the service economy be to whatever comes next. If formerly industrial “lofts” were at the heart of the “revival” of urban centers in recent decades, first as sites of cultural experimentation, and then as vectors of commodification and gentrification, office parks and other suburban and exurban architectural types will be at the center of the inevitable transformation of the vast areas surrounding those urban centers. In their programmatic afterlife, what possibilities might emerge from the spatial and material framework that this architecture provides? What images and desires might this architecture produce? And what role might architects play in the continuing evolution of suburban and exurban areas, in which a majority of the population of the United States lives, works and consumes?

The site is connected by a walking trail to the Princeton Junction rail station, which links Princeton and other nearby towns and suburbs to New York City and Philadelphia via commuter rail, as well as to the entire Northeast megalopolitan area that stretches from Boston to Washington, D.C via Amtrak.

The low-density area immediately surrounding the station has been the subject of numerous plans for redevelopment as a mixed-use town center.

Traveling between Manhattan and Princeton provides a transect through the spatial enclaves and social inequities of the contemporary metropolis, from university campuses and corporate headquarters, to distribution centers and oil refineries, to gated communities and waterfront condominiums, to vacant factories and trailer parks. It is within this context of spaces that are at once interconnected by movements of people, goods, energy and natural systems, and yet starkly delineated by regulatory, social and infrastructural boundaries, that we will consider what Alexander Park could be.
