Material testing and digital simulations were conducted to understand the material properties of reed as a construction material. A series of strategies were proposed for building structure, envelope and spatial configuration. The combination of these strategies suggests the possibility of generating large and small buildings that address specific programmatic requirements and are responsive to the climate of the marshes.

The Mudhif or the guest house is a sample of elastically formed arch and shell structures. The empiric development of construction methods based on the elasticity of their building materials predominately resulted in similar structures.

The Mudhif cane huts in Ma’dan (South Iraq) are permanent structures using reed bundles that are first vertically fixed into bucket foundations and later connected at the top to form elastically bent arches.

As a structural principle, active bending is not a new concept. Already existed in primal nomadic cultures, elastic bending was used to create small living environments out of lightweight and elastic materials.

Bending-active structures are often designed by following either a behaviour-based, geometrybased, or integrated approach. The Mesopotamian Mudhiffs are referred to the first category which is traditional, intuitive use of bending during the construction process and relies only on hands-on experience regarding the deformation behaviour of

This work examines the potential for re-inhabiting the marshlands of Mesopotamia with the aim of integrating productive economic activity with social functions and ecological processes. The project looks at the present social, economic and ecological challenges of the region and suggests a set of strategies to be implemented at multiple scales in order to address these challenges.

1.1 Re-Inhabiting the Mesopotamian Marshland - Academic - The Architectural Association - EmTech Location: Southern Iraq.

The Mesopotamian Marshlands form one of the first landscapes where humans started to transform native ecosystems in the service of long term human settlement.

Moreover, the Mesopotamian Marshlands located in one of the hottest and most arid places of the world, forming a unique wetland ecosystem which apart from millions of people, sustained a very large number of wildlife and endemic species. Today, this region continues to operate as a productive landscape that can be used to serve different aspects of human life.

1.2 Design Strategies The main aim is to propose a form-active system using reed bundle which integrates different functions and provides larger spans. In order to develop the structural system and enhance the current building technique, three main design principles were developed.

The first principle of the system builds upon the current bundling and bending technique which allows creating an 9.3 Architectural Strategies arch element.

As part of the material research exploration, rubber-latex was selected for its elastic properties and its capacity to store force when streched. The idea was to use latex as a base membrane onto which 2D patterns would be applied in order to produce deformation due to pattern deisgn and material orientation.

2.0 MATERIAL SYSTEMS 2.3 Design and Build - Deployable Structure Academic - The Architectural Association - EmTech Building on the knowledge acquired during the biomimetic seminar and research of the composite material system, the 2014/2015 EmTech students were required to propose a design to be built as a composite structure, integrating a membrane with a linear or sheet material.

This material system research aims to design a deployable structure that can significantly change size, shape and provide a single curvature system.

force from febric force from spring gravity

FORCE REATION This scissor-like deployable material system is an articulated structure wherein rigid members contain sliding contact joints to deploy then locked in the desired position. However, this structure is taking the advantage of the contraction force caused by both the spring in the system and the stretch fabric. However, this system can be aggregated and further developed to design a canopy or shading system.

Location: Iraq, Baghdad The attack on buildings and cities has always been an inevitable part of conducting hostilities. This damage starts from the scale of the person as a target himself and then its effect soon ripple to the scale of the building, the city, the community,Hadi the country and the continent.

The main purpose of a terrorist attack against architecture is the destruction of the cultural identity of a community or a nation as means of dominating, terrorizing, dividing or eradicating it all together.

Following the deadly attack, the community of Karada gradually began lifting condolence banners announcing the death of their beloved ones. The result was an emerging layer of black banners covering the remnant of the old destroyed building reinforcing the presence of the spirit of those brave mortars.

Our proposed emergent pattern is inspired by the same condolence banners. Like the black banners, the emergent pattern shall stand strong as an envelope for the existing remnant of the buildings. On the other hand, it will also appear like a light structure reflecting the spirit of the mortars.

The result will generate an agile and floating space between the Emergent and Remnant layers. The space aims to take the user to a different dimension and tell a story of what LAITH CENTER happened inLaith the past.Center

Academic - German Jordanian University Location: Baghdad, Iraq The site is located in a distinctive island in Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq. This project aims for a contemporary approach to the used material and technology to make a change in the skyline of Baghdad. It also become a symbol and a sign of a new architectural age of the city which has been passing through critical and hard times since 2003.

The design allows the surrounding of the tower area to be transformed into a public realm area where people are gathered from both sides of Baghdad. The building is wrapped in canvas with a defined pattern that is influenced by the cuneiform ancient Mesopotamian letters.

On the other hand, the design utilizes a dual access strategy, enhanced by its strategic position on the island which can be accessed by boats from the Tigris River. This provides a memorable processional experience when approaching the tower from both sides.

Professional - Seyam Architects Location: Aqaba, Jordan This project won the first prize of a national competition launched in Jordan in 2015 to design a social club for the civil defense members’ families in Aqaba in south Jordan.

The architectural characteristics of Aqaba are derived from traditional and contemporary motifs. However, the design is inspired by the local architecture of Aqaba with the best use of space and providing sea view for the chalets.

The project initiated by analyzing the potentials of the site.

Mainly the most important aspects of the site are the slope and the sea view. The design process starts by grading the site along the natural topography, then finding the best distance between the buildings’ rows to provide sea view, finally shifting the platforms to create a clear spine with ramps for the pedestrians.

The activities’ zones were based on the privacy hierarchy of the main program. The restaurants, swimming pools, and the gym were considered, public zones, therefore, they were placed closer to the main street. While the chalets with gardens and pools were considered as semi-public zones ,therefore, they were places towards the upper zones of the site.

4.0 CITY SYSTEMS 4.2 East Manchester

Academic - The Architectural Association - EmTech Location: Manchester, UK This project is the product of experimentation and research based on the tools and techniques acquired from the evolutionary design strategies.

The primary aim of the design approach is to investigate and analyze an urban patch in East Manchester and propose a high-density urban system that is integrated with the rest of the city and can produce a differentiated result within the same system for different environmental scenarios.

The logics of the system proposed as an urban model are in coherence with the current pressures sustained by the tissue. The entire study aims to accommodate the growing need for densification and is based on a set of associative rules specific to the morphology and density gradients, relative to the system.

4.0 CITY SYSTEMS 4.3 Salt Crystallisation

Academic - AA Visiting School jordan Location: Deadsea, Jordan The Dead Sea is a hyper-saline lake, which exists at 427 meters below sea level and features a one-of-a-kind extreme ecological condition. It is the lowest point on earth and exhibits a diverse platform for research into the Eco morphology of crystalline formations.

In 2015, the AA in Jordan continues in its thirdcycle to build up on research into naturally occurring phenomena in the region, and how these phenomena can inform design methodologies which re-think existing practices. The program will focus on crystalline formations and their potential development at a variety of architectural and urban scales through the use of cutting-edge computational design technology.

The program will bring together a network of distinguished faculty and guests to offer design-research units, specialist tooling seminars and a guest-lecture series; which are based in Amman with exclusive visits to the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea. The project “Faded Agents” is aimed to create a multiple interacting spaces integrated with a specific landscape mainly to create sport and adventure activities by creating landscape interventions that blend the sea with the shore, pursuing a contemporary interpretation and different experience in the dead sea area. The Project’s inspiration is the different formation of crystals of the Dead Sea. The formations inspired us to explore the different forces which con-tributes in forming these fascinating crystalline. The forces that we explored are related to the location forces depending on the heights and the interaction with the Dead Sea water.

This integration led us to create a contemporary interpretation for a new exploration and enjoying new spatial experience in the Dead Sea are.
