ACADEMIC ARCHITECTURE PROJECT THIRD YEAR,SEM 1 ,2021

RESIDENTIAL REBIRTH-DESIGN BRIEF

THE PROJECT GOAL IS TO CREATE AN AFFORDABLE CO-HOUSING STRUCTURE WHICH THE USERS HAVE SHARED SPACES IN WHICH THEY CAN SOCIALIZE BUT ALSO PRIVATE SPACES WHERE THEY CAN RELAX .

AREA - 2000 sqm OCCUPANCY- 70-100 PEOPLE SITE LOCATION

SITE, DEIRA

AL RAS,DEIRA

ABSTRACT PATTERN MODEL-EXISTING PATTERNS OF DEIRA THIS MODEL SHOWS THE EXISTING PATTERNS PREVALENT IN DEIRA ,THIS ABSTRACT MODEL CONVEYS THE FACT THAT THE AREA SURROUNDING OUR SITE IS QUITE LOUD ( AS SHOWN BY THE COPPER SPIRAL , INDICATING THE ADTHAN SOUND FROM THE MOSQUE), HUMAN MOVEMENT IS VERY CONCENTRATED IN CERTAIN AREAS LIKE AROUND THE TREES WHERE THE PAVEMENT WIDENS.( AS INDICATED BY THE BLUE RIBBONS ), AND THE WIND IS FROM THE SOUTHEAST.

DEIRA, DUBAI

ABSTRACT PATTERN MODEL-EXISTING PATTERNS OF DEIRA THIS MODEL SHOWS MY INTENTIONS TO PRESERVE THE IMPORTANT EFFICIENT EXISTING PATTERNS AND IMPROVE ON PROVIDING A RELEASE OF SPACE.,THE MODEL ALSO SHOWS HOW I WAS TO CREATE A POINT OF INTEREST FOR THE RESIDENTS OF DEIRA, AS MANY OF THE RESIDENTS DO NOT LEAVE THE AREA EVEN IN THEIR FREE TIME , DUE TO THEIR BUSY WORK SCHEDULES .

CONCEPT AND DESIGN ITERATIONS THE PROJECT WANTED TO PROVIDE PURPOSEFUL PUBLIC SPACES IN WHICH THE AREA LACKS WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE PRIVATE AND SEMI PRIVATE SPACES AS THE RESIDENTS OF DEIRA ARE SKILLED WORKERS THAT WORK ALMOST EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND LIVE WITH MANY PEOPLE IN VERY SMALL ROOMS.

OPTION 1 -THE STEPPED ROOF IS NICE , BUT ITS DOESN’T ADDRESS THE WHOLE SITE

OPTION 2- I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A VIEWING DECK IS NICE BUT LOGISTICALLY IT INTERRUPTS THE OTHER BUILDING VIEW OF THE CREEK

OPTION 3- I LIKE THIS ITERATION BECAUSE IT HAS RELEASE OF SPACE IN THE CENTER , AND ALSO PASSIVE SHADING AS THE ROOF SHADES THE BELOW AREA IN WHICH THERE IS THE PURPOSEFUL RELEASE OF SPACE THAT FACES THE CREEK

OPTION 4- I WANTED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE FORM AND YOU CAN SEE IN LATER ITERATIONS THAT HAVING THE TOP FLOORS ACT AS TERRACES/ PASSIVE SHADING FOR THE LOWER FLOOR BUT I LATER COMBINE THE SLOPE WITH THIS ANGULAR IDEA

THE PROJECT WANTED TO PROVIDE PURPOSEFUL PUBLIC SPACES IN WHICH THE AREA LACKS WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE PRIVATE AND SEMI PRIVATE SPACES AS THE RESIDENTS OF DEIRA ARE SKILLED WORKERS THAT WORK ALMOST EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND LIVE WITH MANY PEOPLE IN VERY SMALL ROOMS. THIS IS WHAT THE RAMP PROVIDES , A SPACE IN WHICH THEY LEAVE THE BUSTLING DEIRA AND ENTER GREEN-SCAPE.
