TO ADVOCATE

VERB - TO ADVOCATE SITE - AL SATWA NEAR DUBAI DRIVING CENTER

To advocate means....to support , to promote a certain interest , to arouse a feeling or messaging and many more along these lines. To understand and see the application of the verbbetter on site it is divided into 3 main categories being PEOPLE , PURPOSE , PLACE .

In terms of people....line advocates for the use of architecture , their lifesttle and their inward environment . Secondly in terms of purpose....the landscaping of the site advocates for the user experienece for the residents who take advantage of the shade and green environment while walking or cycling to places etc...

Finally in terms of place ....the towers of SZR advocates for its presence and the contrast in lifestyle through its scale , heights and lightings which is looked upon by the people.

The 2M illustration is represented on one side by showing the obvious use ie... how the site actually is through plans and sections and the experience it provides abd promotes while exploring the line through perpspectives and collages highlighting the above mentioned categories.

DISRUPTION IN ARCHITECTURE ADVOCATES FOR THE NEW PARADIGMS OF LIFE

Architecture as we know has become the voice of architects and their clients only !!! for the spaces that have been designed over a given time. Presently within the upcoming cities we experience how almost every street, building or even the building elements (such as openings, ramps, transition of spaces etc. …) follow a set of ideology, thus settling in their comfort zone, established in the past. How is it believed that these set ideologies still answer us as communities in terms of space? Does it? NO.

The continuous idea of “creating within the box” that we as architects have encouraged has led to-

• Unresponsive community spaces for the users

• Designing of profit driven spaces, lacks spatial challenges

• Forced spaces and forced experiences

• Condemned to live in similar massed spaces

“In the streets of Satwa, FUNCTIONALLY they are designed in away that every space begins to mirror each other, along with being designed as a mediator or connector of two zones or casually flowing into large openings as it is believed to satisfy public needs in terms of open communicative spaces or even act as platform for entrances to buildings.

We need to identify the opportunities and varied experiences offered once the set function and experiences are agitated. The role of agitation is to identify the unknown users and response to a space (ignoring its set function), this is a process of dismantling the dogmas and infusing the measurable.

DISRUPTIVELY we see the citizens, manually create some form of disruption in the space to have it respond accordingly. which effects every passerby’s experience and response to the space. For example, when the users use the small narrow pathways as a space to share ideas by setting up seating’s randomly or space to share physical items setting up small souks or space that advocates for the lack of greenery rather than only responding to it as physical connector.”

“THINK BIG, THINK DISRUPTIVE.EXECUTE WITH FULL PASSION.”

ADVOCATION - People

- Place - Purpose

Further using the idea of CREATING GOOD DISRUPTION as the host from the site to convey the relationship between them while allowing for spatial variations and relationship growth with the users

CLIMATIC ANALYSIS

SUN PATH

The daylight experience in this area during the morning hours is extremely sunny with barely any form of shadding also due to certain reflective surfaces. During the afternoon and evening hours the light is less harsh with shading created between the buildings and under the columns along with some street furnitures.

WINDROSE

The north-west prevailing winds keeps the site cool . the urban fabric of the site with its narrow-wide openings allows for easy circulation as well as cooling of unconventional spaces.

SITE OBSERVATION

SITE ANALYSIS

Al karama is a site full of opportunities in terms of urban interventions and architectural design . The urban fabric of the site a set of isolated elements put around together creating the working frame work. Using this as an opportunity to tie the site and its elements together through urban design offering variety and improved experiences to its vast set of users.

IDENTIFYING 3 ZONES

RESIDENTIAL ZONE

Highlights 3 major isolated zones put together in the karama district. Residential zones being the most inward and private community . Mostly consistent of families and some of working class. Transitional zone advocates for the linear movement of people , vertically or horizontally . consisting of both vehicular and pedestrian movement. Mixed use zone advocating for active spatial communities and opportunities.

VISUAL PERCEPTION OF 3 ZONES

Analysing how the combination of elements in terms of access , grey spaces , landscaping contribute to the functioning and activation of the zone.

The isolated landscaping within the residential zone aims to bring in some from of user experience to the passer-bys. but due to the zone being privately owned villas most of the activation and experience is internal within boundaries.

The mixed used zone is very well known for the street life which occurs between buildings , along the roads , within parks and large grey openings .

This zone is activated natural by its wide set of users and the urban system of the area having everything commercial in the ground level and wide spread isolated street furniture . Thus activated by an intense amount of isolated elements aiming for variation in experience.

Identifying the architecturally created grey spaces across the above mentioned 3zones.

analysing it and identifying it as an opportunity for the creation of better spatially designed areas.

mapping the grey spaces as the starter and identifying them as advocates for designing a ‘good disruptive design’.

Dispersion Intensity

Low - Basic Human nodes

High - Spatial Human nodes

A - Low dispersion (EXIT 1)

B - Medium dispersion (Crossing )

C - High dispersion (EXIT 2)

Metro exits on either sides being the main source of people movement. the dispersion of this moevement depends on the nodes and functional zones across either side.

Majority of dispersion is experienced towards the mixed-use side from its own metro exits as well as from the crossovers.

The residential zone is low in dispersion intensity depending on the user groups and fucntionality.

SECTIONAL ANALYSIS

The sectional study of the 3 mentioned zones ..... visually evidences for the presence for the selective disruptive elements , creation of grey spaces and levels in attraction of human movement

DISPLACING THE ROADS

Displacing the road in the Karama side towards mankhool .further testing the flow in movement and additional changes or opportunities offered in terms of the design drivers.

In terms of movement there is noticed a balance flow from both sides depending on the activation of the new identified areas .

This minor change allows for an orthogonal design which benefits in bringing together all the 3 zones with high amount of positive variation by using distruption in design and the untangible advocation . Further the disruptive elements can be seen evenly spread in both zones while allowing for mixing and including each individual element in all 3 zones .

SECTION ANALYSIS

the new variation site section evidences the changes in the site due to the displacement of the roads.

Highlighting the areas of interest for the built form being the grey spaces and levels around the metro

CONNECTORS OF TWO ZONES

Flowing into large openings

SPATIAL CHALLENGES

Testing out the first scenario in its design form in relation to the identified functional spaces of the UN -office

Large openings acting as public spaces connecting the public private and semi private functions .while also offfering views to public and the working class.

Testing out the second scenario in its design form in relation to the identified functional spaces of the UN -office

Combination of platforms begin to act as either the entry ways for certain functions or functional public platform on its own framing the activities that are taking place around acting as a connector and merger of spaces and functions.

Testing out the third scenario in its design form in relation to the identified functional spaces of the UN -office

Using variation in the physical elements to create a sense of visula distruption within the built form as well as its surrounding . thus advocation for a form disruption in terms of materials or architectural elements.

Testing out the fourth scenario in its design form in relation to the identified functional spaces of the UN -office.

Forced spaces are generally used as a very typical and conventional way of designing certain common spaces possibly restricting variation in user experience .

PRECEDENT STUDIES

BILBAO HEALTH DEPARTMENT BL BANK HEADQUARTERS

LOCATION: BILBAO, SPAIN

ARCHITECTS:COLL-BARREU ARQUITECTOS

Using this case study as the façade and structural inspiration , incorporating the multiple layers in the structure and form .Mainly adapting its double glazed glass with metal frame and structural column supporting the folding language of the façade

LOCATION: BEIRUT , LEBANON

ARCHITECTS: D8 METALS

Keeping up with the idea of designing in conflict using solid forms of materials in terms of mesh surfaces as the façade for the conventional/private UN office spaces . Using this case study as an inspiration in Envelope facade with its unique window sets and mesh allowing for filteration and control in the amount of natural light entering the functional spaces.

CLIMATIC ANALYSIS

SUN PATH

The daylight experience in this area during the morning hours is extremely sunny with barely any form of shadding also due to certain reflective surfaces. During the afternoon and evening hours the light is less harsh with shading created between the buildings and under the columns along with some street furnitures

SHADOW AND RADIATION

WIND PATH

The north-west prevailing winds keeps the site cool . the urban fabric of the site with its narrow-wide openings allows for easy circulation as well as cooling of unconventional spaces.

MORNING - (8 am - 21st june) EVENING -(5 pm - 21st june)

URBAN RESPONSE - PLOT /ACCESS

Testing the micro-climate around the area as a result of the urban response.

During the morning and evening hours we see the harsh sun light hitting all the open grey spaces while the narrow pathways and the new created plaza area mildly shaded due to the metro and nearby buildings. while on the other hand some areas get a decent amount of lighting due to the reflective surfaces of the nearby buildings.

SCENE SETTING FOR ADVOCATION

Concept Development

Challenging existing hierarchy Design placement through movement edges

Design edge with disruptive points as anchor

Using the disruptive points as the anchor in creating the movement edges defining the plot. To show the advocation through movement and change in the hierarchy using design elements that trigger the different forms of movement. stais tamp lift etc.....

Identifying the major egdes advocating in the site and the area where this form of advocation is experienced . The push and pull of the design as a new approach against the hard edge of the existing site function with the void in between as the space to experience this clash along with movement flushing in and out.

RE-CONFIGURATION OF DESIGN

ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH DISPOSITION OF CONCEPT

Through Physical testings of massing development

Taking an Architectural Approach towards the proposed design , testing the advocation of variation through conflicts between the 3 different edges in massing developments . While also testing its presence and contribution to multiple user experience on the new proposed site.

Developing further the concept of designing in conflict and advocating for variation through that . By incorporating the push and pull between the 3 edges of the design influencing from external to internal on the basis of proposed form , materiality as well as spatial functional placements.

Implying the existing site fabric on one side of the design while proposing a conflicting public realm which gradually grows from the ground , engulfing the private UN office like a parasite.

DESIGN PROPOSAL- CLIMATIC ANALYSIS

SHADOW AND RADIATION

MORNING HOURS (8 am - 21st june)

EVENING HOURS (8 am - 21st june)

RESPONSE

The variety in height and the folding planes that grow from the ground and engulf the shape increase the level of natural shade and the amount of natural light that enters the structure.

creating a communal plaza since it has a vast area and a controlled microclimate. using such areas with newly planted landscaping.

Combining overlapping shades and shadows with the idea of folding aircraft to further regulate the interior climate and amount of sunshine on various levels in accordance with the functional requirements

Further redeveloping the design using a combination of conventional tower like form with the unconventional folding planes acting like parasite growing from the ground on the building into the metro. redesigning while also keeping some elements of originality .

Shadow analysis indicating the variation in shades and shadows on almost every time of the day due to the variation in folding planes resulting in the internal and external play of light . while with the towers maintaining the Standard analysis.

In terms of the radiation possibly using this as the base to the guide the folding of the planes based on the result to be obtained and the most satisfying result .

using these analysis overall to also help determine the placement of functions such as the landscaping web and certain public nodes that connect from the urban to the architecture.

EVIDENCE OF ADVOCATION

Push and pull between design and site Advocation through movement

Area of advocation arises between the unconventional approach and the conventional site function thus allowing the flushing of people in out the design .with an approach of connecting the isolated elements of the site and the design.

By changing the the ground level to 7m and designing 7m down and above mainly with the elements that trigger movement to govern the variation in user experience before experiencing the actual design. establishing the Access points and movement destinations within the design

Advocation through functions Advocation through hard edges

Using the movement destination as the anchors for the placement of functions within the design . starting from the ground to the highest point of design views exhibition landscaping urban web thus allowing for advocation through function

Thus applying the concept of hard edges from the site within the design as well . With the unconventional latching onto the conventional and the movement pushing through it.

ESTABLISHING ADVOCATING LANGUAGES WITHIN DESIGN

Identification of internal advocation through variation in conflict

Advocation through folding planes

Influence of internal disruptive pts

Advocation through existing building fabric

User experience in the space of advocation of conflict through one of the mediums

User experience in the space of advocation for comfort and change in hierarchy through designed regenerative landscaping

ADVOCATING INTERPRETATION THROUGH DRAWINGS

The above illustrative sections express the idea of designing in conflict and evidence the individual advocation experienced by the users within these space.

Each section shows its advocation in its own element. The conventional side is meant to follow the existing urban fabric with a influence on its internal space through distruptive axis extending from the unconventional form. While unconventional form is spatially designed through slanted walls , ramps for circulation pushing and pulling of edges. Until these 3 Edges meet at a common point fighting for their own presence.

INTANGIBLE vs TANGIBLE ADVOCATION DOCUMENTATION

Justifying advocation of the proposed through the design and highlighting all the areas of advocation along with influences each of the forms have on each other through design, through testing variation in materiality , variation in spatial and functional elements on each form.

The fight for advocation between the three edges is very evidently viewed visually as well as experientially by carrying forward the concept of achieveing the verb in the proposed by designing through disruption and enhancing the advocation for desiging by encouraging the role of agitation .

The three major forms coexisting in conflict with the aim of achieving the experiences and challenges expressed in the manifesto .

3 Major forms co-existing as follows:-

- Folding plans representing the Public realm in terms of functionality

-Conventional Mid-rise representing the existing urban fabric for the Private UN office

- Movement given the hierarchy in design pushing through the other edges making its presence known while also using movement triggering architectural elements.

DISPOSITION OF CONCEPT

Disposition of the concept a architectural approach of designing in conflict , with the proposed engullfing the conventional representing the existing like a parasite. A proposal of testing and advocating for variation in the existing urban fabric by challenging the existing desigined environment along with testing the change in hierarchy from function to movement. Expressing the idea of designing in conflict through advocation in materiality of the 3 identified edges. with the use of Internal diagrid framed well glazed glass on the parametric side while using Mesh steel facade allowing for play in shadow and play in filtering the light into the functional spaces of the UN office on the other. Finally using various movement triggering architectural elements with regenerative landscaping to encourage community life in the functional plaza

Visual and Physical representation of user experience of the elobrative illustrative plans . Moving in and out of the area of intervention in the ground level users experience the regenerative landscaping incorporting - encouraging community plaza function. While within the exhibition/public realm the advocation by the push and pull of the folding planes alter initial experience making the change known and in the UN office the mesh surface and conventional building styles gives a more comfortable and professional setting . while still feeling the influence and advocation from the unconventional form through the disruptive edges affecting the placement of functional elements such as slanted walls , stairs , attriums etc .

Along with experiencing individual advocation. The proposed also caters to the users experiencing the 3 edges when in co-existence with each other with the given variation in function .As well as allows the users to experience the space of conflict , space of fight for advocation between the 3 edges through multiple mediums

User experience in the space of co-existence of the 3 edges and the given functions

User experience in the space of advcoation through folding planes in the exhibition
