FLOATING AMAZON

The increased popularity of e-commerce and online shopping has generated a need for urban distribution centers. Within the last two decades, Amazon last-mile centers have popped up in almost every corner of the U.S., as the company has pushed to bring items closer to customers. Being built close to residential communities, this raise concerns among most people by depriving them of public spaces, in addition to their impact on public health through the resulting carbon emissions. Since these facilities now are shaping the fabric of our cities, can they be designed as welcoming and inviting?

Applying futuristic modes of transportations

• Context:

The project program was studied to fit in the site context that has 6 main areas:

1. The loop: the central business district and the main section of Downtown Chicago.

2. West loop: Originally home to industrial spaces and wholesale food markets.

3. Fulton River District: Originally dominated by industry, warehousing and transportation.

4. Greektown: was once home to Chicago’s Greek immigrant community.

5. UIC: is a vital part of the educational, technological and cultural fabric of the nation.

6. Randolph Restaurant Row: One of the city’s most popular dining destinations. Each area was considered in the site to provide a specific program that suits the story of it.

• Elevated gardens: Raised beds warm up more quickly in the spring and drain better, allowing for a longer growing season and better growing conditions. allows plant roots to breathe.

• Topography: Diverse designed topography to reduce wind as plants lose water faster.

2080 Trees

5 thematic gardens distributed in the site were created with a different design for each garden that includes carefully selected plants, and related activities were carried out to achieve the goal of creating a different user experience for each space.

2080 Garden: Since 20 percent of Chicago City’s species will no longer find the metropolitan area a welcoming habitat by 2080, this garden explores future warming climate adaptive species, that will do well in Chicago by the year 2080.

DESIGN AS PALIMPSEST

Activating Remnant Spaces in the Central Illinois Landscape

Experimenting new approaches through the creation of site-specific artistic and landscape architectural concepts to find new meanings for abandoned urban areas. The activation of abandoned places has in itself the concept of taking care of, exploring and experimenting with new uses, going beyond the functions of the past and creating new imagery. Activating spaces give back to their communities, by improving the resiliency and sustainability, improving the aesthetic of the environment, creating recreational activities, and reducing crime rates.

sitE i. gardEn Hills

5 decades of suffering flooding and runoff storms in Garden Hills, Champaign. This proposal attempts to address this issue by creating a detention pond with 5 connection bridges The project acts as a gathering space with attractions and activities for residents of Champaigns highest crime rate neighborhood. It also aims to join two residential areas divided with a railway, by creating enjoyable pedestrian and cycling corridors to provide a stimulating, welcoming, and attractive environment .

sitE 2. downtown cHamPaign Parking lot

Downtown Champaign lacks open areas that contain recreational activities for the residents. On the other hand, it is teeming with vast parking spaces that deprive people of the enjoyment and luxury of living. In this proposal, a lively and attractive area is designed on the rooftop of the car park basement. Colorfull bridges of varying heights create a space that is accessible to people, a variety of uses so that some bridges can be walked on, and some contain photovoltaic panels, or illuminated floors, all floating on a small pool of water.

sitE 3. Bristol Park

Users experience is the key design factor in the proposal that create a different set of sensations, while descending into the troughs between the waves, losing sight of all the other waves and of the larger prospects beyond them.

Now you are down in the earth; it is rising over you, not you over it. You’re suddenly smaller, but also protected. Outside sounds are muffled, large-scale distractions drops away.

Also, by refering to the potential flooding map of Bristol Park and the circumstantial location of the park, these green waves are reducing runoff water and hold it through the distributed rain gardens at lower levels.

UIUC RESEARCH PARK

The project goal is to develop the research park at UIUC, focusing on the land topography, storm water management, and ecological design to come up with an integrated and sustainable design that covers most areas of landscape architecture. The concept is to connect the project’s mixed used areas through a green walking system that ensures access to most areas of the project and passes through several attractions containing terraces that enable people to enjoy the view on focused areas such as lakes, landmarks, or recreational spaces.

RESEDINTIAL VILLA

Khobar Villa stands as a monument of simplicity and solidarity. The villa is made up of three stories, receding at each level to create verandas, thus allowing the villa to breathe in the surrounding garden views and natural light.

ROSHN RESIDENTIAL COMPETETION (Winner)

Through the housing design competition of Roshn, the Hijazi housing style was applied with a contemporary identity that keeps pace with the current society, taking into account the flexibility of the design and the possibility of its repetition. A familiar architectural grid was used to make affordable and economical construction and to facilitate construction through load-bearing walls. The selection of building materials is an important decision in determining the cost of the dwelling. Therefore, building materials that mimic the local character were chosen at a lower cost, such as aluminum instead of wood and the use of acrylic paint on most parts of the facade with the help of With local trees and planting balconies with agricultural basins that do not require high maintenance.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Through my educational career, I have been able to develop my graphic skills that help me presenting the projects I am working on. However, I expanded my capabilities a bit by working on the design of some magazines and official reports for the College of Architecture.

I was able to find and create “Hassad Almasharee Magazine” which is an architectural journal that focus on selecting and presenting students’ projects at the College of Architecture and Planning, King Saud University. Leading a fascinating team to edit, write and design this magazine has given me a lot of experience and working skills.
