Along with carrying out building surveys, I also attended initial client’s meetings for residential developments of various scale and produced preliminary proposal drawings in reference to relevant Stem Architects - 2017 Prior to completing my undergraduate degree, I Participated within the RIBA mentorship programme.

During this scheme a group of us were assigned to a mentor where we were able to visit live constructions sites, gained an insight into practice and enhanced our learning experience later implemented in our final project.

Design Studio Architects- Jan 2013- Aug 2016 During my gap year and university summer breaks, I was part of the feasibility team responsible for carrying surveys, drafting and producing planning applications for residential and commercial projects. Alongside producing 3D models and visuals I was also part of various competitions at DSA. Extra Care Housing Competition - 2015 While studying my bachelor’s I also took part in competitions designed for developing architectural guidelines for elderly in need of extra care. The competition focused on enhancing social interaction between elderly and spaces for those with visual, hearing and physical difficulties. The teams consisted of student from Fifth- and Second-years architecture students as well as nurses and business students.

About me

Originally from Afghanistan I came to the UK in 2008 as an unaccompanied minor refugee with non-existent knowledge of the spoken language and the British culture. Along the years, with help from family and friend and my teachers, I was able to culturally and educationally adapt myself to my new surroundings. Influenced purely by passion and the destructive state of Afghanistan, at a very young age I become increasingly passionate about architecture hoping one day will enable me to help and build for people affected by war and poverty.

Interests

Beside architecture I enjoy playing a variety of sports such as tennis, sprinting and long distance running and hoping to run the 2021 London Marathon. Furthermore, I have recently returned from travelling around Europe while on a 10000-mile driving trip involving journey from Lincoln to Greece covering 17 countries in 17 days. I also enjoy reading personal developmental books with some of my favourite writers being Khalid Hosseini Paulo Coelho and Jeremy Till

Project brief Comprehensive Design Project

Project : Refugee and Tourist Centre Location - Lincoln Studio Tutors - Barbara Griffin / Richard Wright Page 01 - Project Outline and Brief.

The brief for this module was based on the polemical discord between Refugees and Tourists within our societies. The brief focused on how the two parties that are Refugees and Tourists are the same sets of people but are treated differently by the current societies we live in.

Both Refugees and Tourists travel to new places to experience new culture, cuisine and space. The only difference between the two part, however, is the time each party spend within the host society. additionally, the other reason is reason for travelling. For instance, a Refugee needs to travel to protect themselves and their families from i.e. War and live in the host country on permanent basis where a tourist wants to travel and stay in a new space temporarily. This project is also a critique on the current tourism norms most countries follow where tourists are treated differently to Refugees because a tourist will bring money into the host country where Refugees who are treated with less respect because they are perceived as a burden on the economy even though they are likely to bring economic benefits. The project will be divided into two separate buildings. One of which will be a Tourist centre and the other will be a Refugee centre. I have decided to design two buildings so that through i.e. contrasting elevations and spaces provided in each building I can portray how the two sets of people should be treated by today’s society. Both buildings will be located on the same road however, with opposing elevation, they will be facing each other at different sides of the road on the Steep Hill within the Historic city of Lincoln. The reason I have chosen this site is because it’s not only a high street but also a linear road that is very Central to the city of Lincoln. Existing buildings on the site are very modern however, are not listed buildings. Moreover, the site for tourist centre is located next to the Jews House which is a listed building therefore considerations will be given to avoid any form of damaged to the listed building.

Site Analysis

Located in the heart of historic city of Lincoln with views southwards across the city and diagonally towards the Cathedral from roof level.

Neighbouring the 1200 years old Jews House, Jews court, Lincoln Cathedral, Palace of Medieval Bishop etc, the site is in close proximity to the Usher Gallery, The Collection , Lincoln museum of Life Science etc.

During site analysis, it was identified that the high street was divided into two parts by the existing train barrier. the north side corroborated spaces that attracted Tourists where the south side attracted Refugees shown in figure below. Ironically, the train barrier on the High Street is not only physical but also a metaphorical barrier between the two sets of people hence, the aim of the building scheme will be to remove the metaphorical barrier between Tourist and Refugees by facilitating experiences through spaces.

Concept Analysis: Refugee Vs Tourist

Travelling is a historic activity that has been carried out by many of us for many reasons be it for visiting sacred placed or for the shear entertainment of experiencing a new culture. Initially, travelling was a phenomenon that was afforded only by the wealthy people however, thanks to the industrial revolution during 1760, travel increased exponentially due to faster, cheaper and safer means of transportation. In 2013 UK was the 8th largest tourism destination worth nearly £130bn which is a sig nificant 9% of UK GDP. Like Refugees, Tourists also often will carry a rucksack so to keep all essential items such as phones, camera and cloths, in one place and easy to carry.

Developing Architectonic Language

During their travel refugees often travel across the Mediterranean, due to the many dangers of the boat capsizing they often carry a life jacket.

In 2015 the life jacket was a symbol of peace and hope. Displays such as ‘The Graveyard of Life Jacket’ in front of the parliament was displayed to show support for the many refugees that has lost their lives. Chosen from a refugee’s bag, the life jacket was de-constructed into its elements which included buckles, straps, buttons and its fabric. Additionally, physical casts of each elevations of the life jacket were also developed where with the help of acrylic sheets the tracings and language of the model was elevated.

Concept Analysis: Tourist Camera Deconstruction

In order to create architectonic language for the Tourist’s building camera was chosen where all its elevations were deconstructed into its elements. Each element was then used to create a conceptual model where they were placed at different levels using copper. The levels also represent the steepness of the chosen site.

The elements were also deconstructed digitally followed by creating various reconstruction of the elements using 3D softwares.

Developing architectonic language During their travel, Refugees will often create organic settlements such as the one that was recently removed in Calais. The organic form of life jacket also resembles these features, A tourist journey, however, involves precise planning of the route with accommodation such as hostels or hotels often pre-arranged, hence the digital model of the camera depicts a ridged model with sharp angles and straight lines etc. Both the organic and the rigid models were amalgamated to generate tran scriptions that represents Refugees and Tourists as one set of people treated equally. These arrangements not only is the physical integration of the model but also the metaphorical integration of the two sets of people within one society.

15

Application of Architectonic language on site location The language derived from the digital and physical models of the life jacket and Camera, is placed on the selected site. Certain elements from these two models will then be selected to be integrated with the design for the two buildings. Conceptual diagrams showing traced digital and physical models being cut into parts so, to derive architectonic language for the two buildings.

Conceptual Site Section Using transcriptional drawings, the development of the masses generated shapes which not only responded to the nature of the site but also to the notion that shapes, and spaces communicated with each other.

Structural elements such as columns will be places to create entrances that will not only attract public to enter the building but also will be used to connect the two buildings. The two buildings use a central space that acts as the vertical spine of the design where all the spaces can be accessed, however around the vertical spine some elements such as walls will hover above the ground mimicking the steepness of the site.

External Facade

During my site analysis I noticed building materials are mostly weathered limestone as seen in Jews House. In order to preserve the texture and significance I decided to use Kolumba brick as this not only provided references to the historic materials around but also its long length and lower height will add a modern factor to both my buildings. Kolumba brick was also used in the Kolumba Art Museum by Peter Zumthor in Germany as seen below.

Precedent Study (Top) Peter Eisenman’s House X

Plans were inspired not only by the conceptual language of the brief but also the conceptual drawings were improved further by looking at Peter Eisenman’s work. Additionally , During the brief I wanted to abstain from making changes to the pedestrian path on the high street.

Initially ,this was near impossible to achieve in my plans, however after analysing the Gulkman’s gallery, I was able to use similar techniques in order to keep the pedestrian path intact but also use it to attract more people to my buildings seen in the pictures bottom right.

The Rig is used to drive the screw pile into the ground using mechanisms that allows the pile to be rotated and avoiding vibrations that potentially could damage the historic neighbouring buildings.

Screw Pile Foundation The chosen site for my building is near the historic building of Jews house and Jews Court. Since the soil around the site is very unstable, I

will have decided to use screw pile foundation. This system will not only hold the weight of the building but also will result in minimum vibrations compare to the pile foundation where piles are hammered to the ground causing the area around it to vibrate significantly. The piles will be screwed within the ground for 15 meters up until it touches stable ground level deep under the site.
