ARC 502: AUTOMATED HABITATS : METABOLISM IN MOTION Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology:

In Collaboration with:

Arc 502 - Spring 2020.

Emirates City, E311, Ajman, U.A.E. Jason Carlow.

Afordable Housing - Office Spaces.

Aya Rahmy , Farah Ahmed.

Project Brief In 2008 the global financial crisis hit, causing construction on the Emirates City in Ajman to halt, leaving massive amounts of expired concrete foundations in what is now an abandoned consturction site. This has lead us to draw the conclusion that people chose ajamn over the other emirates mainly due to lower rent prices. After the crisis, the cost of living in the neighboring cities was significantly lower, therefore, said cities were favored over ajman as people preferred living in dubai and sharjah. Emirates city currently has the the lowest price per sqm at 2150 dhs per sqm.

Our project adresses the need for flexible space, the need for business to locate in ajman in order to balance traffic flow, the need For a typology that Is reactive to the transient and constantly changing population of Ajman, and most importantly, more eonomically resiliant architechture.

Project Description Automated Habitats proposes an architecture that reframes the conversation on supply and demand in the architectural world. Rather than become victim to the booms and busts of the world’s economy, as we have seen in the case of Emirates City, Automated Habitats thrives upon a changing market. It caters to the transient demographic of the UAE, where immigrants make up 80% of a population that is always growing and changing. The project is a cross breed of ideas from metabolism and today’s car robotic automation technology. It adds an entirely new dynamism to the theories put forward by Metabolists on living cells which are always growing and changing.

Situated along E311, Habitat in Auto-motion attaches itself to a complex network of roads interlinked with the highway. This allows for easy car access and the creation of a hyper-thin typology that can fluidly grow using highways without producing issues that arise out of urban sprawl such as higher water and air pollution, increased traffic fatalities and jams and loss of agricultural capacity. Meanwhile, it dissolves boundaries created by highways so that an overall picture of pourosity and fluidity can be achieved within the city.

ARC 501: ALNASSERYA URBAN REGENERATION Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology:

In Collaboration with:

Arc 501 - Fall 2019.

Al Nasserya, Sharjah, U.A.E. Cristiano Luchetti.

Afordable Housing - retail - civic.

Ibrahim Khamis, Shaden Al Kalouti

Project Description The Project is a response to the degraded nature of the north-eastern district of Al Nasserya. Some of the most prevelant problems were the run down and overcrowded worker housing, unpaved roads and sidewalks, and the lack of public spaces. Furthermore, most of the residents use bikes/walking as a means of transportation. The introduction of sikkas that open up into public spaces accross Nasserya along with the introduction of housings, retail, ,and civic functions that cater to all ages, and both genders, creates a safe and welcoming community for both locals and immigrants together, and responds to both the physical and social problems of the north-eastern district.

The scheme consists of 3 projects, 2 of which are the short-term accommodation center, and the community center. Both serve as anchors that welcome people into the site. The focal point of the site consists of a series of buildings that are arranged around open space, which are connected by “sikkas”. The first half of the site consists of affordable housing, along with a retail ground level. The second half includes civic related functions, such as a women center, elders center, youth center, and a nursery.

SITE ANALYSIS Project Brief The Sharjah Department of Planning and Survey and Sharjah Urban Planning Council have recently started independent initiatives to explore and propose ways by which deteriorated neighborhoods can be enhanced.

The mandate is to maintain the existing structurally intact housing stock and propose enhancements to the public realm and social infrastructure of those areas based on the needs and specificity of each neighborhood.

One of the mandates is to find ways to attract Emirati families back to these neighborhoods without necessarily displacing the existing population.

The Urban and Architectural Design Studio ARC 501 Section 3 at AUS, first investigated through mapping, surveys, and fieldwork the existing conditions of Al Nasserya, thereafter proposed innovative solutions grounded on the findings of the research. We looked for alternative means of intervention other than conventional approaches with a focus on sustainability. Students had the freedom to identify the scale and brief of their proposals - whether it would be a block or the whole neighborhood, or a single building along with the surrounding affected public realm.

ARC 402: TIMBER IN THE CITY : SKY BRIDGES Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology: In Collaboration with:

ARC 402 - Spring 2019.

Queens, New York, U.S.A. Roberto Castillo.

Residential Mixed use.

Rashid Al Suwaidi.

Competition Brief “Participants are challenged to re-imagine a vacant waterfront site as a vibrant model of healthy, biophilic living for the future of the city.

Embracing new structural and ecological possibilities of wood construction, entrants will design a mid-rise, mixed-use complex that includes affordable housing, a large community wellness facility, and an early childhood education center, all interlaced with a new exterior public waterfront space. Entrants are challenged to propose construction systems in scenarios that draw optimally on the performance characteristics of a variety of wood technologies, and are encouraged to think about the site as a testing ground for socially, materially, and environmentally progressive and innovative models of sustainable urban living.

Housing is the largest component of the competition program and presents an opportunity to look closely at the way timber construction can be used effectively in creating buildings based on smaller cellular units. A community wellness and sports facility complements the housing, and offers larger community and collective spaces. An early childhood education center, calls attention to the critical role these institutions play in the long-term vitality and development of a community.

Project Description The project is a critique of the steel and concrete nature of the buildiings in NYC. The project introduces a timber lattice structure grid that connects a series of residential building clusters with sky bridges and an exteriour vertical circulation core. Each cluster includes buildings that cater to families of different sizes through a flexible unit strategy within each square plan. The buildings, along with the wellness center, and the education center provide an all around sense of safety, and community. An external lattice exoskeleton strategy was employed to hold the structure of the bridges, while opening up spaces that could be utilized as “parks in the sky” transforming what would be dead alleyways into vibrant, communal zones. The double frame wooden structure offers so many spaces and oppurtunities for the users to utilize freely eg. balconies, private or public gardens, operable louvres etc. Moreover, the site runs the risk of flooding in the future, therefore, we proposed of a way to build across to the other side of the river as a part of a future developent that responds to such a risk.

ARC 401: THICK SKINS : EXPLORING PERFORMATIVE ROOFTOPS

Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology:

ARC 401 - Fall 2018.

Al Jada, Sharjah, U.A.E. Jason Carlow.

Public gathering space.

Brief Arada and American University of Sharjah (AUS) have partnered for a year-long course (ARC 401 and ARC 494) at AUS’ College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) that will involve students of architecture to each individually design a pavilion proposal for the Aljada site. The partnership will see AUS undergraduate architecture students and faculty design the Aljada Pavilion, a structure located in the focal point of Aljada, the Central Hub, the masterplan for which is being designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The Aljada Pavilion, will constitute a space for the public to gather in and around and will be architecturally innovative in its design. It will form part of the first phase of the 1.9 million sq ft Central Hub, a new leisure and entertainment destination for the UAE. Inspired by the vernacular architecture of the U.A.E, the studio aims to discover methods of passive cooling by exploring different designs of performative roof tops. The project attempts to create a hybrid between vernacular and contemporary architecture.

Project Description Through a series of iterations, The Cloud miniaturizes a typical Dubai wind tower into a thin extruded square tube profile. Tubes are bundlled together into a canopy to facilitate transfer of wind to the area below and to provide shading. Mechanincal connections between the tubes and tensile cables that run through the overall roof structure provide compressive and tensile support for the rooftop. The project investigates the use of reflective, translucent, and opaque coatings on the tubes to visually dematerialize the project mass.

WIND TOWER STUDY

MINIATURIZED AND FRAGMENTED PAVILION WIND TOWER / TUBE CLUSTER PLAN

3d Printed Models

3d printed chunk of iteration 1: wind tower was miniaturized into 5 cm x 5 cm pipes that were varied across the pavilion in groups of 4 (10 x 10 in total). Ultimately, the condensed nature of the tubes, and their size and distribution didnt allow for maximum passive cooling to be achieved.

3d printed chunk of iterations 2-4: wind tower was miniaturized into 3 different sizes : 10 cm x 10 cm, 20 cm x 20 cm, and 30 cm x 30 cm. Tubes were then varied randomly across the pavilions. The different variations allowed for more efficient passive cooling by freeing up most of the sides of the tube and varrying the sizes,

ARC 494: DESIGN PRACTICUM - ARADA PAVILION Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology:

In collaboration with:

ARC 494 - Spring 2019.

Muwaileh, Sharjah, U.A.E. Jason Carlow.

Pavilion.

ARC 494 students

Project Brief Arada and American University of Sharjah (AUS) have partnered for a yearlong course (ARC 401 and ARC 494) at AUS’ College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) that will involve students of architecture to each individually design a pavilion proposal for the Aljada site. The partnership will see AUS undergraduate architecture students and faculty design the Aljada Pavilion, a structure located in the focal point of Aljada, the Central Hub, the masterplan for which is being designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

Project Description Students of ARC 494 worked on developing the chosen pavilion design under the sponsorship of ARADA. The pavilion, designed by Aya Rahmy, was the outcome of the investigation of cellular, subdivided Muqarnas ceiling vaults found in traditional Islamic architecture. Muqarnas, or honeycombed vaults are typically made from polychromic, ornamented plaster, suspended from the underside of a masonry structure, usually in a dome, or the squinch of a cupola. In the design of the project, Rahmy sought to free then geometrically inspire Muqurnas surface from a primary structural system and transform it into a thin, self-structural canopy. The project utilizes vernacular techniques for the extrusion of two-dimensional triangular patterns from Islamic architecture into complex three dimensional surfaces, while proposing innovative ideas for a shaped truss and space frame structural system.

ARC 494 students worked in teams to adjust the pavilion structurally, and materially to see the project through to construction.

Students met with experienced engineers, contractors, blacksmiths, and digital scriptors (grasshopper) to reach the best possible solutions. Different skin, frame, materials, and footing strategies were explored to reach the best outcome. The pavilion is currently near completion in the Al Jada Site by ARADA.

ARC 301: MUWAILAH PUBLIC LIBRARY Studio - Year: Location: Instructor: Typology:

ARC 301 - Fall 2017.

Muwailah, Sharjah, U.A.E. Marcus Farr.

Public Library space.

Poject Brief An infill urban community library project located in Muweilah, Sharjah, U.A.E. The site is within a highly gridded area of similarly sized plots and buildings. The project is meant to enhance the urban life in the area, provide a space for reading and recreation. The program includes the library, storage spaces, cafe, and quiet study rooms. The project responds and accomodates the literary needs of the growing neighborhood.

Project Description The library’s main feature is a wooden roof structure, comprised of multiple waves that extend out, “piercing” through all three floors, creating enclosed quiet study rooms, while supporting the structure of the building as well. A staircase spirals around one of the cones leading up to the rest of the floors. lighting fixtures across the roof structure furthur enhance their form. The spacing between the wooden pieces allows sufficient privacy, while allowing light in. The interior offers a contrast to the outside rigid buildings, while also conforming to the site context.
