hi. Ismail there,
Masters of Science student studying multidicsiplinary design of high performance complex buildings. Architect at heart with a solid engineering background. Capable of designing fully integrated architectural projects with high energy and resource performances without compromising their architectural integrity (holistic approach). Music producer and performer when not designing buildings. Art enthusiast. Always hungry for creative-thinking in general and design/problemsolving in particular.

architectural technology
-users are the future architectsThe city sponge is an ambitious hospitality project offering various forms of flexible living spaces. The very permeable building seamlessly connects multiple levels found on site while providing outdoor spaces for public use. The light structure of the building makes it easy to assemble/disassemble it on site in less than four months. architectural design - visualization - construction process team work (group of six - check full project for credits)

-a mountain in abstract is a triangleInspired by the yin-yang philosophy, we strove to make a strong relationship between opposite elements that can be interconnected. Land/water, solids/ voids, opaque/transparent, and the studs and grooves of the potential LEGO bricks that the house could be constructed of exemplifies this concept. architectural design - visualization - lego brick design team work (group of three - check full project for credits)

urban sustainability
-energy can start (and end) warsThe main Objective of this proposal is to design a sustainable eco-district in the area of Porto Di Mare according to the IMM principles. Firstly, thorough analysis of the site on global, intermediate and local levels was being investigated. The complex urban system was dismantled to its original basic components to be able to assess the nature of the site at hand and understand it correctly. Those elements were then combined together to give a further more elaborate understanding of the area. A final X-ray image of the site on an urban scale showed clearly the areas with potential and other areas with weaknesses that could be encountered properly. A Masterplan for the project was thus created according to the guidelines and the investigations that had already been done. The main strategy behind the development of the masterplan was the idea of connected growth. Being geographically located in a strategic area at the periphery of the growing city and were the green fields start, connection was key when it came to our site. New urban transformations are also taking place just across the cutting highway and railway lines. Thus the connections were three: with old radially evolving city, with new urban transformations and with the crucial green fields at the edge of the city. The building volumes in the masterplan are shaped according to traditional Milanese morphological concepts but with more advanced orientations that are environmentally-driven. urban sustainable design - visualization team work (group of four - check full project for credits)

-an intermediary housing solutionSocial housing complex was then designed at the heart of our masterplan. The orientation of the facades were then altered according to the sun path to maximize the use of solar energy in all seasons. Further shading and solar heat gain studies were made to help shape the buildings more efficiently until an optimum shape was met. Faรงade treatments were then studied to control the building interaction with the surrounding environment efficiently and effectively. architectural design - visualization - energy calculation team work (group of four - check full project for credits)

These “blue veins” just like how a human body works, help energize the points they reach by adding series of different activities. Strategies on a global scale of the whole city were introduced, as well as a masterplan for a specific area has been designed. urban regeneration - masterplan design - industrial renovation team work (group of six - check full project for credits)

-memory dropletThe water droplet loop - a walk through the history of evolution of Barcelona - reuses the uncommon curved railway tracks and old roman sewage path to revitalize the memory of the place. From old city, fishermen village to the industrial era visible through the railway tracks and reused industrial spaces until the tip of the droplet inevitably glides to Glories and 22@ district into the new paradigm of knowledge. . urban regeneration - industrial renovation team workshop (group of five)

-innovation gatewayThe main idea of this proposal is to have a controlled connection while maintaining the industrial identity of the place. This is achieved by reusing Fransces Station to become the new innovation gateway of 22@ district. The interior of the station will become a dynamic meeting space for entrepreneurs to share their ideas, with spaces dedicated to presenting their pitches to possible investors. This vibrant indoor public space will become the seed of new innovative ideas.
