THE GOAL:
Giving an experience of different tastes of coffee while people are moving through the museum. Also, show the hospitality of the arabs style.

INTERSECTION GRAVITY
BROOKLYN, NYC
IDEA
The concept of “Intersection Gravity” is derived from a site analysis in which it is revealed that people, bikes, trains, cars, and other forms of transportation are intersecting at various elevation levels. Consequently, the expression of that concept lead to the massing to develop into this result.
BACKGROUND
Adult, young/all ages transportation is very important in new york city. the train intersection makes it so exciting to draw investors and residents to share the building from a separate entrances.
THE GOAL:
Makes a transporting circulation connected, included a resident have an option to take a local transporting.
DESIGN VI 12 11
From the concept of the “Intersection Gravity” I exprese it to the volum of the building, with that we creat movement of the residential and public are intresect from a different elevation.

VERTICAL CONNECTIONS
NEW YORK, NYC
IDEA
Efficiency, to us, means designing spaces that not only save time but also conserve resources and reduce environmental impact. We are driven by the DOT’s mission of creating a safe and efficient movement and strive to incorporate these ideas in our design. We want to re-characterize the site and give it a new identity.
BACKGROUND
We envision a built environment where the flow of people and goods is deliberate, safe, and purposeful. Every step taken on our site serves a meaningful purpose. We strive for a built landscape that invites exploitation, but not at the expense of controlled, purpose-driven movement. As people are diverse, we must be able to suit different speeds of movement and be thoughtful in how this plays out in our design. Every step in our design is meticulously crafted to ensure that movement is effortless and optimized.
THE GOAL:
We will incorporate contemporary office strategies like open plans to be able to invoke our intention. In conclusion, we are dedicated to creating spaces that empower, respect, and uplift the community. It is a celebration of control, efficiency, and innovation as the guiding aspects of our mission. Through these principles, we build in a way that enhances people’s movement and enriches the lives of those who use it.

BUILDING CIRCULATION
Simplify a building’s activities and movement through the building. Therefore, the landscape is the meeting point of the building’s visitors.
The building entrances are divided into:
• Staff entrance from the south
• Public entrance from the north
• Museum entrance from the east

REPEATING THE PAST DUBAI, UAE
THE IDEA WAS PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW OF THE EMIRATI FAMILY, INCULDING POITICANS ND COMMONERS. FOR THE HOMEOWNERS, NATURE WAS A SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE. THE PLAN WAS TO REPLICATE THE PAST TO MAKE THE HOUSE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.
BACKGROUND
THE SAYING, “WHO DOES NOT KNOW THIRE PAST CANNOT LIVE IN THE FUTURE...,” BY SHEIKH ZAYED. WE ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCEE FROM THE PAST AND REAP THE REWARDS OF THE LESSONS OUTCOMES. TO SURVIVE IN THE FUTURE, WE MUST THUS GO BACK KIN TIME AND LEARN ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM.
THE GOAL:
PRIVACY: THE REFLECTION CONCEPT TO PRIVACY IN A HOUSE IS TO REFERS TO THE ABILITY OF INDIVDUALS LIVING IN A RESIDENCE TO CONTROLA AND RESTRICT ACCESS TO THEIR PERSONAL SPACE. IT ENCOMPASSES PHYSICAL AND INFORMATION PRIVACY, ENSURING THAT THE HOME’S INHABITANTS ARE SHIELDED FROM THE EXTERIOR AND UNWANTED INTRUSION. HOWEVER THE QUARD YARD IS SHARED TO RESIDENTS OF THE HOUSE.
ELEMENTS OF PRIVACY: ENSURING PRIVACY IN A HOUSE INVOLOVES FACTORS SUCH AS ADEQUATE WINDOW COVERINGS, SUN LIGHTS, SOUNDPROOFING.

IDEA
THE IDEA WAS TO USE A TOPOGRAPHIC TO CREATE FIVE DIFFERENTS LEVELS. EACH LEVEL HAVE A DIFFERENTS ACTIVITIES BASE TO THE ZONING, URBAN/NATURE, AND NOISES.
BACKGROUND
The park‘s topography contains a variety of topographical levels, which creates breathtaking views of the surrounding region. However, there is no structure in the park to organize the many functions and components. The notion of levels can be used to treat this disease, with the geography of the park divided into five levels, each with a specific purpose. Each level‘s usage is specifically selected for it based on the park‘s circumstances. The intended exercises will have varying degrees of complexity for each usage level. Each will assist the neighborhood and everyone using the park in various ways to advance themselves. In addition to these levels, the design raises the whole park. To transition from an urban to a natural ambiance, separate regions will first be joined, and a park will be established on the outskirts of Troisverges.
THE GOAL:
TO MAKE THE PARK MORE USEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY, BASE TO DIFFERENT AGES. THEREFORE, THE GOAL TO KEEP THE PARK TO BE DEVELOPED FROM THE RESIDENTS.
