ABOUT ME

My name is Asadullah Shafai, 26 years old, recently graduated from Chalmers University of Technology in architecture and urban design. I’ve studied architecture mainly in Sweden but also in Switzerland. Not long ago, I moved to Melbourne, looking for new adventure and experiences. Currently, I am awaiting with pleasure to join a team and start practicing architecture to expand my knowledge within the field.

What fascinates me the most about architecture is the chance one has to create spaces, with such a unique relationship to people, which will stand there for them for many years. Since the beginning of this journey to become an architect, I have learned to design different types of buildings, both for educational purposes and also some for private clients, and what interests me the most is housing, especially villas where you get very close to people. In addition to architecture, I am interested in sports in all its forms; dogs, documentaries, art and craft. Since childhood I have always been passionate about creating different things with my hands, most lately, painting and carpentry. My spare time is usually spent with friends or working on DIY-projects, such as furniture.

In the workplace, I prioritize innovation, the importance of cooperation and professionalism. As a co-worker, I am easy to work with, take re sponsibility and work efficiently. Otherwise, I am ambitious, detail orien ted, like challenges and am confident to tackle them with audacity.

Site plan 1:1000

The purpose of this thesis is to get close, as much as architecture possibly can, to humans. The home is one of the most, if not the most, fundamental man-made ingredients of our life which we all share in common. We all have some kind of a place we call home. The meaning of home can differ considerably and it does not necessarily need to be characterized by matter in a physical sense, nor by a place. As the thesis intends to go back to architecture’s roots, which is its relation to humans, according to the author. Designing a private house is considered as a reasonable starting point for this work.

Adaptability has been in consideration while desig ning the floorplans. With a shared common space, kitchen and living room, every apartment has two units consisting of one bathroom, a standard be droom and a smaller room for different purposes. These units are designed so that they can be used independently. These solutions together with the shared spaces at the roof top are meant to increase the social interaction and the usability of the rooftop extension in the long run.

The additional rooftop extension’s main material is wood, which benefits this particular project by its different capacities, considering the fact that it is relatively light-weighted which means less reinforcement on the existing buil ding is needed. The walls are out of prefabricated solid CLT-elements, it stores more Co2 and the load bearing capacity of it is good enough to avoid thick wooden pillars.

Facades and the roofs are covered with translucent marble gold solar pa nels, to take maximum advantage of the location of the building but also to avoid overheating during summer.

Cross ventilation:

During summer, the heated air inside the courtyard leaves through the ope nings at top causing negative pressure which lets the cooled air from the courtyard, which is in shadow, breeze in through the openings at the bottom. The vegetation helps through evaporative cooling to cool down the air even more and contribute to a pleasant atmosphere inside the building.

During late winter/spring when the temperature outside is still below the com fort zone, the sun will heat up the courtyard through greenhouse effect, this heated air will be caught inside the courtyard (buffer zone) and used by the resilience if needed.

The apartments have a big opening towards the courtyard in order to take advantage of the natural cooling/heating system when convenient.

MAJNABBE PRE-SCHOOL

Pre-school/ daycare

Location:

ACEX05

The proposal includes a preschool with eight departments on two floors where the departments collaborate in pairs with each other. This is to have surface-efficient departments at the same time as it is pos sible for the departments to be run independently.

The building consists of four volumes, two educational volumes; one for the staff and one service volume. These volumes are linked together with a fifth volume, which is a glazed volume that serves as a commu nication and even more common space (courtyard and a generous staff entrance).

The pre-school is located on a green hilltop in Majnabbshamnen with good recreational and sun conditions. Entrances to the various sections face Götaälven and the playground, which is the largest part of the property; at a slight angle from the Oscarsleden. This to emphasize the meeting between the visitors and the building at first sight. The exterior perspective below shows how you are greeted by the building when you get to the site.

ARK481 – The building as a system

The project task is to study complex systems and design building technical details, as well as studying and design the public parts of a hotel in detail. The project assignment will especially study the reception environment and the conference environment, as well as their spatial and logical connections. The project only focuses on hotel room configuration on a basic level. Preferably with the starting point set in the attached, provided by the cour se, examples of loose floor plan with hotel rooms and parking facility.

The project assignment tests the possibility of, within the proper ty, to build a conference hotel of 150-170 hotel rooms where about 80% are standard rooms and 20% are superior rooms and has no suites. The hotel is a so-called conference hotel. The hotel rooms are located above the reception, the confe rence areas and the spa on top to give the attention it needs as the conference facilities is the main purpose of this project.
