01 MALCHINA The first design project that was assigned to us on the first semester of bachelors of art in architecture in the Maldives national university (MNU) was rooftop design. In this project we were to make a rooftop design for an existing 2 story building. The design must not be a place where the inhabitants can dwell for long periods of time. Instead it must be a place of experience. The location set for this design project is the rooftop of any of the old 2 story buildings in the west end of Chaandhanee magu, Male’. After an in-depth research into the Chinese culture and tradition I found a promising method which the Chinese people use in their everyday life; the Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding environment. Next I explored the Maldivian culture to find a way to in cooperate Feng Shui to it. While exploring, I found out that a Maldivian traditional house was very fascinating. A Maldivian traditional house was a humble yet a harmoniously enriched form of housing we rarely see today. The arrangement of spaces as well as the light materials used in the houses such as timber and coral stone made the Maldivian traditional housing a good combination for Feng Shui to be applied to.

02 SANGU GE The project was to design a dwelling for a given client. The clients given in this project are famous Maldivians who gained their fame between 1970 and 1990. The final design that came out when all the above steps are in cooperated is a uniquely shaped building located within the plam trees in the beach side of Fuvahmulak, Maldives. The location is place where the sounds of trees and ocean is abundant. The house consists of one large bedroom big enough for Nashidh’s whole family (his wife and son), a living room for his guests to visit, a kitchen, a dining room, a toilet, and most importantly his music room where he can compose music using the natural sounds from the surrounding and normal instruments. In conclusion it is the perfect house for Zero-degree Nashidh where he can compose his music within his house without going anywhere else.

02.3 CONCEPT Nashid is a very unique Maldivian musician. He composes his music using both natural sounds and normal musical instruments like guitars. The concept of this design is based on his unique usage of different natural sounds to create music. The most apparently used natural sounds in Nashid’s songs are on the diagram below.
From this component we can hear the sound of dry leaves as the sound of breeze on trees
From this component we can hear the sound of a toy bird as the sound of birds chirping
CHIRPING OF BIRDS
BLOWING CONGE SHELL From this component we can hear the sound of water as the sound of waves crashing
HUSTLING OF LEAVES
CRASHING OF WAVES
From this component we can hear the sound of uncooked rice as the sound of using baipolhi
USING A BAIPOLHI
After a thorough research of ahmed nashid i designed an abstract model where you can listen to the natural sounds he use in his music. From the various components of the abstract model seen on the pictures below we can listen to these natural sounds.

Finally when all the components are connected using a hollow tube it takes the form of a sangu (conge shell) and can be used like one to make a similar sound
X
This is a conceptual model done to design an absorbing device to absorb the sound coming from above and transfer the sound down through a tube
The shape of the house was changed because a circular shape can circulate the sound muh better than an edgy one. Furthermore the need of an extra floor was determined at this point.

03 HIRI A. DH. Fenfushi is an island located in the South end of Ari Atoll, Maldives. The people in this island is famous for the rare talent of coral stone work and carving. They also exceed in coral stone masonry, which unfortunately is prohibited now due to the rapid decline of reefs. When you look around after stepping into the island, walls built using corals stones are everywhere. The community center which was designed for A. Dh. Fenfushi is a place which will create an identity for the island. It will become a place where the community of Fenfushi can get together and enjoy. The design was developed after doing numerous models which lead to the final form of the community center. The resulting final design is a very rigid and irregular shaped design where you can feel the context in the design.

03.2 CONCEPT The concept i have chosen for this project is the random arrangments and patterns of a coral stone masonry wall. I chose this concept based on the site analysis and the background study i did in a.dh fenfushi. The irregular stones will be used as spaces in the building and the mortar mortar layers will be used as circulation pathways within the building. I developed this concept by tracing the patterns from an image of a real masonry coral stone wall and placing them in different layers as seen from the sketches below. Then the volumes of the spaces are created by extruding the spaces formed when the sketches are layerd.
The sketches made by tracing from coral stone wall
The first two models are concept models which shows the irregularity of the spaces and walkways between them.
The sketches made after selecting the traced images and placing them in layers
The cubist painting i made to create the floor plans of the design
The next two models were done after giving thought to the actual spaces in the design and its approximate sizes. In the fourth model the arrangement of the space are finalized.
In the final development model the form is finalized after adding the walkways.

04 VORTEX The project is to design a primary school in Hulhumale’ which should have the capacity to cater 4000 students. The whole project is divided into 3 small projects: 1) Choose a transformation word and create a touch stone representing that word. 2) Design a site office on the site for the architect, 3) Design the primary school by in cooperating the site office and transforming it to part of the school. v The concept of this design was based on the transformation word twist. It is a centric design where the spaces in the school swirls around an attractive and unique elevator shaft. The class rooms are designed in such a way that it requires minimum observation. The diagrams above shows how the design was developed. The areas marked in red indicate classrooms and other spaces in the school. The final design consists of a unique set of classrooms and many outdoor spaces where the students can explore much more than your average school. The school was designed in such a way that the students can experience outdoor activities within the school. One such example is the mini artificial forest where students can explore the wild life like they have never done before

04.2 SITE OFFICE The touch stone model i designed for this project is based on the word twisting. In this model a strip of the sides of the walls are given a small twist to allow light and ventilation into the space. This Site office design is based on the transformation word “TWISTING� first a simple twist is given to a cuboid then two spaces are created due to the twist, by furthure twistin git creates a compresses space between the two spaces previously created.

05 A HELPING HAND Design 05 final project is a disaster relief housing for an island which have been affected by Tsunami 2004. The structure proposed should be rapidly manufectured, deployed, trasnported and should be reusable. This unit must cater 4-6 people. For the design M. Kolhufushi was chosen. The micro sites are designed beforehand as parks. The existing building in the area will be removed and place in empty plots in the island. The large area in the center of the park is a safe house which the people will assemble is case of a tsunami. There is one 3 meter wide road which is be accessible from two sides in the park. Then there are 2 meter and 1 meter wide pathways which will lead to the relief housing units. These pathways are for pedestrians only. Rain water is collected and drained through pipes in gravitational system to a water tank under the safe house. This water will be used by the people on the relief housing units. The helping hand concept is created baed on the fact that trees has helped in saving lives during the trunami of 2004. The hanging and spreaded branches of the trees acted as helping hands for the people who were drifted awsy in the currents of tsunami. This concept is about saving the people who are suffering the loss of shelter due to the tsunami.

06 GUNDOLHI RESIDENCES This project is divided into two parts; Masterplan and Mix use tower development. The site selected was Hulhumale. A masterplan was designed for this particular site. For my design what i found most stricking within the site is the stream of water. “It was as if the ocean was calling to me from afar. I was slowly being dragged towards it like a piece of metal being drawn towards a magnet. Almost unconsciously. It was almost like I belonged in the ocean like a fish. Swimming along with the flow of the ocean. As I broke free from the concrete jungle I was living in, I thought to myself, “So this is what it feels to be free”. The view in front of me was breathtaking. The stream of water flowing in front of swept me away into another world. It was as if all my problems, all my pain and anger have been swept away from me the instant I gazed upon its magic.” The pleasant sound and view of flowing water is something everyone appreciates. With this flow comes life and gives happiness to the people around it. It also creates unique patterns as water flows on the soil. These patterns that are created is called riparian. In this design flowing water is used to create a utopian urban city which is full of life and happiness.

The stream of water flowing in front of swept me away into another world. It was as if all my problems, all my pain and anger have been swept away from me the instant I gazed upon its magic. Flowing water influences the surrounding environment in many ways. Ripples created on sand by the touch of flowing water is replicated in this design. The patterns formed due to this is called “Gundolhi” The form of the design is generated in such a way that it shows the corrosion effect on the soil. In addition to this the fluidity of flowing water is maintained throughout the design.
