RESUME

2

I am a designer with a passion for experimental design, digital fabrication and computational design. I originaly studied Architecture, and gained my bachelor degree in 2010 from Alexandia University, Egypt. After graduation I worked in MOUSEION -the first design studio in the MENA region specialized in museography and exhibition design- for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in different areas in the field, including related business development and project managment, having worked on several projects in Cairo, Doha, Dubai and Rome. I left Musion as a Senior Architect determined to start my career as an indepentant designer. In 2017 I co-founded EDGE Design Studio -An experimental furniture design Studio- after having been shortlisted in the Young Designers Award organized by the EFEC (Egyptian Furniture Export Council). EDGE went on to produce over 15 unique designs which were sold in the Egyptian and Saudi markets.

In April 2018, I started working on THE FUNDAMENTALS Project, a self-initiated attempt to re-invent Islamic patterns and explore thier application to home products. I produced 84 patterns; seven of which will be available in the Egyptian textile market in early 2019.

In late November 2018, I left my company and moved to the United states, looking for

new opportunities to learn and implement my knowledge as a designer. I believe that my skill set and my entrepreneurial experience in the furniture design market will be beneficial in various fields of design (Conceptual architecture design, interior and furniture design and Exhibition design and museography).

FURNITURE DESIGN

Although this section mainly covers the work I did in the past two years, the designs are a direct result of digital fabrication researches I have been working on since 2011.

EDGE’s main focus was Furniture design using computational design and digital fabrication methods. All the designs in this sector were to explore new digital fabrication techniques and new form finding methods.

TRINITY DESIGN FAMILY TRINITY is dining set collection, designed using 3d & 2d recursive patterns applied to scandinavian style designs. The pattern was applied by the fractal division of a simple triangular grid; repeated throughout four generations to create a complex pattern that explores the versatile potentials of the triangle. Depth was later added by extruding the grid to create pyramids to achieve a gradual form transformation.

The entire collection was fabricated using the usual carpentry methods and 2d CNC cutting. The 8

materials used are; Solid oak, walnut or mahogany wood; acrylic painted plywood and reinforced glass.

Right page, conceptual renderings for some pieces of TRINITY design family.

MILES DINING BUFFET 180x50x90 & 230x50x90

The china cabinet (Buffets) is a very classical and a very controversial piece in the Egyptian home.

While the majority of the older generation prefer it to keep and display their china silverware, a lot of the youth (the newlyweds) consider it a useless piece of furniture.

Re-inventing the buffet using computational geometry for the facade, altering the opening mechanism and mixing it with the minimalistic Scandinavian designs seemed one way to revive that piece and reintroduce it to the market.

Left page, 3d diagram displaying connections and fabrication components.

To the right, pattern generation through recursive subdivision and applying it to the cabinet body.

This piece is the first product in this family and the inspiration for the entire collection. MILES was our best selling piece, and was shortlisted for the YOUNG DESIGNERS AWARD organized by the (EFEC) and displayed during FURNEX Expo in Cairo, Feb 2017.

To the Left, First produced prototype for MILES, size 230X50X90.

MAL

COFFEE TABLE 100x50x30

MAL is a more of an artistic attempt to use CNC milling to produce “sculptural� furniture piece, with a milling depth that reachs 10 cm and an area over 5000 cm2 . MAL is made of solid peachpine wood covered with reinforced glass and stainless steel legs.

SUZEE COFFEE TABLE 110x70x40

Instead of mimicking the Islamic designs in a direct manner, this design approaches the complexity of the Islamic geometry in a new way using the sectioning method. Built with 7 layers of white painted plywood to distinguish the Islamic star while adding a removable reinforced glass sheet below the top layer for functionality.

EDEN SIDE TABLE 40X40X40

Similar to CATHERINE, EDEN’s geometry was resolved using the sectioning and assembly method.

The vertical sectioning of the geometry created interesting shapes looking at the sidetable from different angles.

RAVEN LIGHTING UNIT SIZE VARIES

The design formula used for form-finding RAVEN’s geomtry can produce unlimited number of design alternatives, which makes displaying them as a pack even more interesting than RAVEN as a standalone piece.

MALENA DESIGN FAMILY

This project started in JAN 2013 while I was working (for a short period) in ALCHEMY design studio. It started as a conceptual proposal for ceramic wall tiles. It didn’t pass for the execution phase and it was put on hold until I revisited it in 2017 in my research for CNC milling applications on marble. The following is a sneak peak over the development of that project.

To the right, Conceptual proposal for a villa wooden door. KSA 2017.

38

The project was custom designed for Al-GAWHARA CERAMICS, the design brief was; an innovative proposal to add to their collection for wall tiles. The proposal started from a basic hexagon grid with random offset values. The inner cells then extruded towards their center point. By maintaining the outer cells of the single panel with a constant value, we obtained a final product where the actual tiling was no longer visible.

Another proposal for the same project, in this proposal the concept of having a family of tiles was introduced. A wall can contain a maximum number of 6 different types of tiles. An algorithm was developed to manipulate the arrangement of the tiles according to the client’s desire.

2D PATTERNS/ TEXTILE DESIGN

The FUNDAMENTALS started as a research to explore the usage of parametric modeling in the Islamic geometry. It was meant as a new furniture collection, but along the way this project led to some interesting 2D shapes that encouraged me to create a lookbook and re-direct the project towards textile design.

In Sep 2018, NASEEJ by MARDINI purchased seven patterns of the look-book to add them to their next textiles/wallpapers collection that will be available in the Egyptian market by early 2019.

FUNDEMNTALS 2D PATTERNS

THE FUNDEMENTALS is a visual project featuring eighty four Islamic inspired geometric patterns, generated digitally using parametric tools.

These patterns could have a variety of applications whether as; tiles, fabrics or decorative furniture elevations.

The FUNDEMNTALS collection is all about the exploration of Islamic geometry using parametric modeling methods in search of hidden lines within its beautiful complexity.

This endeavor is a search of modernity within tradition, an attempt to high48

light the versatile interpretations of lines. It is a statement that complex composition is nothing but a combination of a few steps of simple mathematical functions.

To the right, a wire frame version of SEBASTIAN°7.

Right page, displaying nine patterns of the look book.

49

The FUNDEMENTALS consists of nine pattern families; each is defined by its basic geometric grid. Each family contains patterns with different number of layers; varying from being a single layered pattern to seven layers, thus offering different levels of complexity.

Only nine colors were used in all patterns featured in this project.

To the left, Small samples of all the eighty-four patterns, categorized by Family.

EXHIBITION DESIGN/ MUSEOGRAHY

This section covers my experience in exhibition design and museography. All the projects in this section were executed while working at MOUSEION studio from 2010 to 2016 as part or full time Junior/Senior Architect.

SOUQ SHANASIYAH VALORIZATION PERMANENT EXHIBITION

SHARJAH, UAE (MAR 2015)

Traces of dense habitation were found near the former edge of the creek, in the heart of Sharjah, right behind the current location of Al-Hisn Museum. The foundations of a former Souq and stores along the water front were excavated.

It was the client’s objective to construct refreshment outlets as well as a dedicated exhibition zone in one of the buildings to showcase the remains of the original “Old Souk” and objects found during excavation works.

54

Work scope required covering the design of the central excavation set and the exhibition zone, including all necessary elements for the site valorization: _Exhibition narrative (literature and descriptive text) _Selection of objects for display _Flooring and viewing decks _In-situ display of artifacts, if any _Displays design (showcases, stands, etc…) _Mounts and accessories _Lighting design and visual effects, if any _Graphic panels and labels design.

MLEIHA VISITOR CENTRE

SHARJAH, UAE (JAN 2016) Meliha is an archeological area located in Sharjah, UAE. It contains archeological remains dating back to the Paleolithic age, documenting the early movements of man from Africa to Asia. The uniqueness of this site stems from the fact that it served as a transit point for those undertaking this journey. The area contains multiple archeological sites from different eras; the aim of this project is to create a visitor center which would provide visitors with brief information about each site, while also hosting important findings.

AL-HISN MUSEUM

SHARJAH, UAE (OCT 2014)

Al-Hisn is a fort located in the centre of Sharjah. The whole area is currently being developed and branded as the “Heart of Sharjah”.

The renovation of Al-Hisn museum aims at providing a unique experience for the visitors using the building as a venue to explore the history of the Emirates and the history of the ruling family AL-Qawasim, who once ruled Sharjah from Al-Hisn. Built around 1820-30, a formative period of Sharjah’s history, Al-Hisn has been a witness and a contributor to the history that has shaped Sharjah to become the Emirates it is today.

Left page, Old photo of ALHISN entrance gate.

Above, First floor plan of ALHISN. 64

65

The museum aims to reinstate Al-Hisn into the landscape of Sharjah’s, to allow visitors to explore the emirates past and present, and to help the visitors gain insights into Al-Qawasim ruling family and their history.

These objectives were achieved through three main story lines and themes; 1.The story of the building.

2.The story of the ruling family.

3.The history of Sharjah and its people.

TUTANKHAMUN EXHIBITION

REPLICA COLLECTION EXHIBITION THE EGYPTIAN ACADMY ROME, ITALY (MAY 2014) The main aim of this project was to display 24 replicas of the findings from the Tutankhamun tomb.

This tomb was considered a great discovery by the archaeologist Howard

78

Carter in the early twentieth century in Egypt.

Specifically in the area of the Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile river of the city of Luxor.

Below, An illustration showing a conceptual interpretation of the entrance.

RightPage, Plan showing exhibits and graphic panels arrangement.

79

The exhibition aims inform visitors about some aspects of the ancient Egyptian’s life specifically about the king Tutankhamun and the great discoveries from his tomb.

RESEARCH/ DEVELOPMENT/ TUTORING

The following section includes my early self-studies and explorations in parametric design and digital fabrication along with some small scale collaborations.

It also includes some of the work produced during the computational design workshops that I used to conduct between 2012 & 2013.

AL ETIHAD TOWERS ENTRANCE ENHANCEMENT

ABU DHABI, UAE (2013) The aim of this project was to generate innovative ideas to cover up an unsightly looking service building located in front of Al Etihad towers in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This proposal features multiple alternatives for skins designed using computational and parametric tools, which could be constructed as a facade for the building.

FUNICULAR FORMS

RECURSIVE PATTERNS

2013

2013

PERSONAL RESEARCH FUNICULAR FORMS is a form finding research based on physical simulation. The catenary curve is the curve formed by an idealized hanging chain or cable when supported only from its endpoints, with gravity being the only force. This type of curve appears in the design of certain types of arches and as a cross section of the catenoid—the shape

86

assumed by a soap film bounded by two parallel circular rings. The surface of revolution of the catenary curve (catenoid) is a minimal surface.

PERSONAL RESEARCH

This is a personal research project exploring fractals. Using computational technology, fractals can lead to very complex forms using very simple rules, controlling these rules from the very 1st stages gives the advantage of creating infinite numbers of variations for the same design system.

87

SECTIONING RESEARCH 2012 This is an ongoing research covering digital fabrication techniques, mainly sectioning. These systems were fabricated using 2D laser cutting.

This prototyping research investigates a wide variety of materials, but mainly wood and plexiglas.

Left, Above, Profile based morphologies is an experiment that generated various form alternatives from the same profile-based 3d shape by controlling the scale parameter (the graph above each alternative).

Left, below, Point based morphologies is a from finding process where alternatives are resolved using the point charge method (Metaballs) to produce Isomorphic shapes.

SPIRAL

WAVE

2012

2012

With a 180° horizontal rotation that allows the direct light to distribute regularly on 2 sides of the room, the laser cut sections were–– assembled from a 0.25 cm MDF Wood material.

This experiment is all about: _Parametric form finding: Many alternatives can be generated out of a single curve formula. _Stackability , Functionality: The sections can easily be assembled /disassembled and reordered. _Zero-waste: There will be almost no waste of material. _Economical: Reducing Cutting time by half.

PRODUCT DESIGN 2012

Assembled by two types of materials, The 1st material used for the horizontal sections (the planar section) is non-elastic Plywood.

While the 2nd material used for the vertical sections (the spiral shaped sections) is an elastic plywood material to allow the spiral strips to bend around the lantern. The bending is calculated so as not to pass the breaking point of the used material.

PARAMERTICISM WORKSHOP/STUDENTS WORK ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT(FEB 2013)

The following projects are the result of PARAMERTICISM, a basic parametric modeling workshop, where I was the instructor. The projects are a direct implementation of the usage of parametric thinking to create an algorithmic system. Each project had 3 main design schema: Envelope form finding, Skin Design & Structure.

93

OPTIMIZED ENVELOPES

WORKSHOP/STUDENTS WORK ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT(FEB 2013) The workshop takes the parametric modeling process a step further towards informative modeling; extracting data through a parametric process and design analysis which leads to performance based schema.

Using evolutionary solving platform, the most efficient result is picked from the generated alternatives.

This function allows form to reach the lowest solar exposure possible through movement of the upper grid cells in the Z direction.
