Each facet of this Brutalist marvel tells a story of innovation, precision, and artistry. Here’s how DBM and Modish.Ai have reinvented this bold architectural style for Amaala: S I D O M Y B S N

The Raw Concrete Façade: 1 Imperfectly Perfect At first glance, the building’s raw concrete façade exudes strength and resilience. Unlike polished materials that aim for flawlessness, concrete celebrates its imperfections—each pore and texture a testament to its authenticity. DBM’s expert craftsmanship is evident in the careful casting of every panel, ensuring that the surface texture captures light and shadow in a way that adds depth and dimension.

Modish.Ai played a critical role in optimizing the concrete’s layout, using AI algorithms to predict how light would interact with the façade throughout the day. The result is a building that evolves as the sun moves across the sky, its appearance shifting in a subtle, almost meditative rhythm.

Precision Geometry: 2 Brutalist Simplicity From specific angles, the building’s geometric precision becomes apparent. The clean lines and sharp angles draw the eye, guiding viewers along the structure’s meticulously planned edges. A dramatic overhanging roof juts outward, providing shade and emphasizing the building’s angular silhouette.

These natural touches aren’t an afterthought—they are carefully calculated components that complement the building’s rugged exterior. Modish.Ai’s AI simulations ensured that plant placement maximizes shading and cooling effects, enhancing both comfort and sustainability. This thoughtful blend of materials demonstrates how Brutalism can adapt to its environment while maintaining its signature strength.

Though Brutalism is often associated with stark, industrial materials, DBM introduces elements of warmth through organic accents. Wooden panels and strategically placed greenery punctuate the concrete, adding contrast and softness to the design.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of Amaala’s Brutalist design is its manipulation of light and shadow. Each concrete panel and overhang has been meticulously planned to create a dynamic interplay of light throughout the day.

As the sun moves, the building’s appearance changes dramatically. Morning light casts soft, elongated shadows, while midday sun highlights the sharpness of its edges. By sunset, the structure takes on a warm, golden hue, transforming it into a luminous sculpture.

This effect isn’t accidental. Modish.Ai’s precision algorithms predicted these light interactions, allowing DBM to fine-tune the design for maximum visual impact. It’s a masterclass in how Brutalism can be both functional and poetic.

27

BRUTALISM’S ROLE IN LUXURY ARCHITECTURE Amaala’s bold adoption of Brutalism is more than a stylistic choice—it’s a redefinition of luxury. By embracing raw materials and geometric simplicity, DBM and Modish.Ai have created a space that feels both timeless and innovative.

SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE Beyond its aesthetic impact, Amaala’s Brutalist structure sets a new standard for sustainable design. The thick concrete walls, combined with the building’s orientation and shading elements, significantly reduce energy consumption. Modish.

Ai’s data-driven approach ensured that the design minimizes environmental impact while maximizing comfort and efficiency.

This commitment to sustainability reflects a broader shift in the luxury market, where environmental responsibility is becoming as important as aesthetic appeal. Amaala’s Brutalist revival demonstrates that bold architectural statements can also be eco-friendly, paving the way for a new era of conscious luxury.

AMAALA’S BOLD MOVE

Amaala’s latest venture proves that Brutalism, often misunderstood as cold or uninviting, can be a beacon of luxury and sophistication. Through the combined efforts of DBM and Modish.Ai, this project redefines what Brutalism can be—bold, sustainable, and undeniably glamorous.

In a world of fleeting trends, Amaala’s Brutalist masterpiece stands as a timeless icon, showcasing the power of raw materials, geometric precision, and the seamless integration of technology and design. It’s a bold move that challenges conventions and sets a new benchmark for luxury architecture.

Hollywood Regency often juxtaposes the opulence of interiors with lush, curated landscapes, and Amaala’s newest venue is no exception. Cascading greenery flows from balconies and terraces, adding an organic softness that contrasts beautifully with the building’s sharp, gilded lines. Rows of perfectly aligned palm trees and carefully selected desert flora frame the structure, creating an environment that feels both vibrant and serene.

Beyond their visual appeal, these plantings serve a functional purpose. Modish.Ai’s environmental simulations ensured that the greenery not only enhances the building’s aesthetics but also contributes to its sustainability. By strategically placing plants to maximize shading and natural cooling, DBM has created a harmonious balance between luxury and eco-conscious design.

The pool area is a scene straight out of a classic film, featuring mirrored surfaces, sculptural elements, and water features that enhance the sense of opulence.

Lounge areas around the pool are adorned with rich fabrics and metallic finishes, offering guests a serene yet glamorous setting to unwind. The pool itself is not just a functional feature; it’s a centerpiece that amplifies the building’s aesthetic impact, reflecting its grandeur in every ripple.

As an architect, the field I work in is a fusion of creativity, technical knowledge, and problem-solving. Over the years, advancements in technology have transformed how we design and build—from decorating our caves to now making skyscrapers to the moon.

One of the most exciting innovations impacting our work today is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is beginning to change the architectural landscape in profound ways, offering new tools to streamline processes, optimize designs, and even push the boundaries of creative exploration to a new level.

Traditionally, architectural design involves a lot of manual iteration, trial-and-error, and sleepless nights. But AI can now assist in generating design alternatives based on given parameters, like building regulations, site conditions, and client preferences. For example, generative design algorithms allow architects to input constraints and objectives, and the AI generates multiple design solutions, optimizing for factors such as light, space, material usage, and environmental impact. This gives us architects more time to focus on refining the creative aspects rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks—finally letting us know what it’s like to sleep at night.

AI thrives on data, and architecture is an industry rich with data, from building codes to environmental performance records and material specifications. By leveraging AI’s capacity to process and analyze large datasets, architects can make more informed design decisions.

N G I S E D

Architectural visualization is crucial for communicating ideas to clients, stakeholders, and builders. AI-powered tools enhance this process by automating 3D modeling, rendering, and even virtual reality (VR) experiences. With AI-based rendering software like Modish, we architects can generate hyper-realistic visualizations faster, allowing clients to immerse themselves in a virtual walk-through of their future building. Additionally, AI can simulate real-world conditions such as lighting, weather patterns, and energy consumption. These simulations help us design buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also energy-efficient and sustainable. By running these simulations early in the design phase, AI allows for more informed decision-making, reducing costly modifications later in the project.

AI can predict how a design will perform over time, optimize floor plans for space efficiency, and even forecast the potential environmental impact of construction materials. For instance, AI tools can analyze the social and economic data of a particular area to predict how a building will interact with its surroundings, providing insights into pedestrian flow, traffic impact, and local climate patterns. Architects can use these insights to create buildings that are not only functional but also better integrated into their urban contexts.

53

AI isn’t limited to the design phase—its impact extends to the construction process as well.

AI-driven construction robotics and automated processes are helping architects and builders optimize construction timelines and reduce errors. Robotics powered by AI can handle tasks such as bricklaying, concrete pouring, and even site inspection, allowing for precision and speed that humans alone cannot match.

Moreover, AI tools can predict potential delays in construction projects by analyzing historical data and current site conditions. By identifying bottlenecks and providing proactive solutions, these tools help keep projects on track and within budget.

Sustainability is a major concern in modern architecture, and AI offers innovative solutions to address this challenge. AI can optimize building systems—like heating, cooling, and lighting—by learning from usage patterns and environmental data to reduce energy consumption. In the design phase, AI tools can model the energy performance of a building, helping architects create more sustainable designs. In addition, AI helps architects choose sustainable materials and construction methods, ensuring that the environmental footprint of the building is minimized. By considering long-term environmental impacts early in the design process, architects can create buildings that meet both aesthetic and functional needs while contributing to a greener future.

Architecture is inherently collaborative, involving multiple stakeholders—clients, engineers, contractors, and regulatory authorities. AIbased platforms can facilitate smoother collaboration by streamlining communication, documentation, and project management.

Cloud-based AI tools can centralize all project data, ensuring that everyone is working with the same information in real time, reducing the risk of miscommunication or outdated plans. Additionally, AI can enhance the feedback loop between architects and clients by quickly incorporating design changes and providing updated models, renderings, and cost estimates. This enables faster decision-making and fosters a more dynamic design process.

54

AN ARCHITECT’S VIEW

One of the most exciting potentials of AI in architecture lies in its ability to push the boundaries of creativity. AI can help architects explore unconventional forms and structures that may not have been considered otherwise.

By generating new design options based on non-traditional parameters, AI encourages architects to think outside the box. For instance, parametric design, which uses algorithms to create complex geometries, can now be enhanced by AI, allowing for the creation of innovative structures that are both functional and visually stunning.

AI can generate designs inspired by nature, art, or abstract patterns, opening up new realms of architectural expression.

AI empowers architects to focus on what they do best: solving complex design problems and creating spaces that inspire. As AI continues to evolve, architects who embrace these tools will be better positioned to push the limits of innovation and efficiency in the field of architecture. The future of architecture is undoubtedly intertwined with AI, and it promises a future where design is smarter, construction is faster, and buildings are more sustainable. Architects who learn to harness the power of AI will not only streamline their workflows but will also unlock new creative potential to redefine the built environment.

AI is not here to replace architects but to augment their capabilities. By automating routine tasks, providing data-driven insights, and enhancing creative exploration,

REDEFINING MINIMALIST

I

n an ever-evolving world of luxury, DBM has carved out a distinct niche by marrying the timeless elegance of minimalism with the cutting-edge innovation of AI-driven design.

The transformation we present in this edition is nothing short of spectacular—a sleek architectural marvel set against the backdrop of serene landscapes. Here, DBM has elevated the concept of minimalist design into an art form, where simplicity is imbued with depth, and every element serves a purpose beyond aesthetics.

DBM’S VISION FOR MODERN SERENITY

REDEFINING MINIMALIST ELEGANCE

MATERIALS: A SYMPHONY OF TEXTURE AND TONE The material palette in this project is deceptively simple but layered with complexity. DBM uses a harmonious blend of natural stone, wood, and polished concrete to add warmth and texture to the minimalist framework. Each material is chosen not only for its aesthetic but also for its tactile quality. The feel of cool stone underfoot, the smooth grain of timber paneling, and the reflective sheen of polished surfaces enrich the sensory experience of the space.

D O M Y B S N G I

Outdoor terraces and pools act as extensions of the interior spaces, offering tranquil oases for relaxation. Here, DBM showcases its mastery in creating seamless transitions between different zones, allowing the architecture to breathe and flow.

From the expansive decks to the sunken lounges, every outdoor space is a curated retreat.

One of the standout features is the integration of latticed panels, which add an intricate layer of design while maintaining the clean aesthetic. These panels, positioned strategically, create shifting patterns of light and shadow throughout the day, animating the structure with a quiet energy.

S

A hallmark of this project is its dynamic use of space. The open-plan layout is punctuated by bold architectural features that guide movement and flow. Floating staircases, recessed lighting, and shadow lines create visual interest without overwhelming the core simplicity. At its heart, the property’s layout is designed to promote mindfulness—a place where every corner invites contemplation and every view connects with nature.

SCULPTING PURPOSE

DBM’S APPROACH TO MINIMALISM DOESN’T STOP AT VISUAL APPEAL. INSTEAD, THE DESIGN THOUGHTFULLY INCORPORATES THE PRINCIPLES OF BIOPHILIA, ENSURING THAT THE SPACES BREATHE LIFE. LARGE WINDOWS INVITE NATURAL LIGHT TO FLOOD THE INTERIORS, WHILE STRATEGICALLY PLACED GREENERY INTEGRATES SEAMLESSLY WITH THE ARCHITECTURE, BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIVING.

Lighting, both natural and artificial, plays a pivotal role in this transformation. During the day, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the shifting light, creating a dynamic interplay between architecture and environment. At night, concealed LED lighting enhances the building’s geometry, emphasizing its bold lines and subtle textures.

DBM’s lighting design ensures that the space transitions effortlessly from day to night. Warm ambient lighting fosters an intimate atmosphere, while task lighting highlights specific areas, creating a functional yet aesthetically pleasing environment.

As with all DBM projects, sustainability is woven into every aspect of this design.

The structure incorporates energy-efficient systems, including solar panels discreetly integrated into the roofline and advanced water recycling methods that minimize environmental impact. Native plants dominate the landscaping, reducing water consumption while enhancing the natural beauty of the setting.

Beyond the physical elements, DBM employs Modish.Ai to predict and optimize the building’s energy performance. AI simulations ensure that every material, angle, and system operates at peak efficiency, proving that luxury and environmental stewardship can coexist harmonious

WHY CHOOSE EXPRESSIONISM? For those seeking an architectural style that goes beyond the ordinary, Expressionism offers a dynamic and emotive experience. It challenges traditional design principles by prioritizing artistic expression and individuality. The bold shapes and vivid colors are not merely aesthetic choices; they convey a sense of movement and energy, turning every structure into a conversation piece.

Further enhancing this harmony is the incorporation of lush greenery around the structure. Native plants are meticulously placed, creating vibrant gardens that contrast with the building’s bold design. These natural accents soften the structure’s dramatic lines while contributing to its sustainable approach.
