hospitality, medical center, treatment, rehabilitation, accessibility, navigation, nature type: medical facility
year: 2024 | Academic work location: Na’our, Amman, Jordan
Users of this project include patients suffering from various chronic diseases, coming from different diverse backgrounds. Due to their need for continuous care, the users of this facility will be recieving the round-the-clock care that they need; from medical to personal to psychological care.
The design is made to be simple and easy to navigate from one building to another. Facades in the facility are designed with respect to natural sunlight orientation. Materiality is focused on both cohesiveness, while maintaining a sustainable concept. A connection is made within the hospice building through connected rooftops that allow continuous interaction amongst users. The entire plot of land is dedicated to vegetation, that may be performed by the residents themselves. Activities in the facility vary from arts, music, meditation, cafes, sports, vegetation, and all the way to shared communal spaces. All spaces are connected with pathways that are wheelchair friendly and accessible to all.
The project site is located on the edge of the city, acting as an intersection between the suburban nature of Jordan and the city loudness of Amman. This creates the centerpoint between the chaos of life and the quiet of death.
The site can be easily accessed from the city center, yet having a peaceful view that endulges the nature surrounding it.
The proximity to services such as medical emergency clinics and hospitals makes the site the perfect cross between the needs of the users and the desire of life that they have.

The Six Elements of Life
Land Form Sunlight Wind Flow
The preservation of the natural topograpy of the plot with all of it’s dynamic energy
Preservance of sunlight as massing is designed to recieve sunlight onto all faces
Vegegation
The blending of greenery into the buildings to maintain green views all over the center
A high mass is placed as a wind blocker from the chilly winter breeze
Pathways inbetween buildings on the Eastern side are kept open for the cool summer breeze to flow inwards
Water
A closed gray water system is inserted as it connected between the topography, the landscape, and the overall experience.
People & Activity
As all natural elements integrate together, they create a pleasant outdoor walkable environment for the users of the building
10*10m grid to align with the typography and dimension of the plot
Two perpendicular spines from points of accessibility are extended to create clear pathways a solid:void ratio that ensures comfort and continued connection with nature
Nodes are to be surrounding the spines for clear and smooth accessibility
A grid design was chosen in order to make every turn expected prior to thought. This creates an ease of navigation within the site itself.
This ideology sympathizes with the difficulties the resident patients may face throughout their treatment phases.
Intersection of L-Shaped Modulars
Courtyards Gradtion
Zoning on the site has been categorized from the most public and into the least.
Entering through the administration that endulges you towards a green-filled hallway, the services begin to fill up along the way. As you reach the end of the outdoor hallway, a courtyard closes up the path; which then leads into the private housing.
As a suitable modular emerges from a 10*10m grid, the L shaped modular passes over the plot and begins to intersect with one another as the need for space and function emerges.
Consequently, open courtyards are injected into the site aesthetically, and with regard to the need for ventilation.

Since the site faces two main streets, one faces the main drop-off entrance, and the other faces a parking entrance. As cars drive into the parking entrance on the lower-altitude street, a gate swallows the parking into the land itself; prioritizing pedestrian movement and the village lifestyle. The parking then becomes under the site, as two service elevators and an emergency staircase takes visitors into a courtyard that takes them into the green hallway.

The choice of materiality comes with reservations
1. Sustainability
2. Vernacularity
3. Hygene
4. Ventilation & sun access
5. Aesthetics
6. Privacy & modesty
Stabilized Rammed Earth was chosen as the primary building facade material. Painted High Pressured Laminate was chosen as the secondary facade material. Frosted glass was opted for in order to maintain privacy in a modest culture, while allowing round-the-clock ventilation and sunlight access.

earth-quake resilience, robustness, flexibility, social housing, type: temporary housing year: 2023 | Academic work location: movable, Syria
Users of this project include diverse backgrounds, diverse lifestyles, and social status. The project mainly targets families or individuals who were impacted by the earthquake that hit Syria in 2023. The only thing in common in these users is that they have been victims of a physical disaster; therefor, a psychological one as well.
The design is made to be simple and flexible to change. Every unit is meant to be flexible in size, design, location, and usage. The materiality is meant to be easy to access through rubble and raw materials only. With a strong, resilient exterior, to a soft and flexible interior; all are factors to keep the scaffolding unit flexible to use as a temporary shelter for present and future diverse uses.

King Hussein Airport Terminal

space optimization, sustainability, eco-friendly, innovative structure, connectivity heritage-inspired, historical references, context-sensitive, user-centered, way-finding type: airport terminal year: 2023 | Academic work location: King Hussein Airport, Aqaba, Jordan
Users of this project include diverse backgrounds, diverse lifestyles, and even nationalities. The proposed project is the development of a new airport terminal that not only serves as a transportation hub but also embodies the cultural heritage and unique characteristics of its surrounding area. This cultural airport terminal aims to create a seamless blend of modern functionality and traditional aesthetics, offering passengers an immersive experience that reflects the region's identity.
The design is made keeping in mind climatic effects on the building, such as sun path, wind direction, and humidity level. Therefor, it is meant to save as much energy as possible through factors such as orientation, clerestorey windows, breeze blocks, overhangs, materiality, and wall thickness. The design also incorporates a philosophical framework consisting of a dual effect: Jordanian Pride and Vernacularity; both are impacted by drivers such as the use of local materials, sustainability, coping with heat, central courtyards, the integration of old and new, and celebration of Jordanian culture.
The goal of architectural design for the port and industrial zones is to create a design image that is compatible in scale and character with Aqaba Town and the Coastal Zone, but also expresses state-of-the-art business and industrial capability.

In order to decrease stress levels as much as possible, the terminal should have multiple calmers along the path of travel, such as: entertainment, awareness, and social zones

a passage of closed gray water system runs along the edges of the building -- inspired by the old village growth system along a source of water
the passage is surrounded by palm trees which fits into the context of the site as well as into the "no water no ife" statement
a display of the Hashemite family tree distributed along the courtyard along with mosaic locally handmade sets of chairs and tables
By making the planning of the circulation a priority in this design, the overall design is characterized by security and traffic co-ordination between departuring and arriving passengers.
All elevations in the project were designed with respect to the climate surrounding that facade.
Clerestorey windows are used in the upper floor to allow heat to escape and create ventilation.
Breeze blocks are used to to promote natural ventilation while providing some degree of privacy and shading.
the mass connecting between gates is a curved shell, as well as a curved slab, portraying a down-scaled experience to Aqaba's topography. The mass functions as a museum.
As an escalator takes arriving passangers down, it leads them into a well-lit baggage claim area. With breeze blocks overlooking the courtyard, and parametric columns spread along the area, a fusion between the old and the new is created.
The courtyard that breaks into the middle of the project is surrounded by palm trees and a gray water system (GWS) that acts as an irrigation system as well as an aesthetic factor.
The area is open to public.
Entering from the main gates on the ground floor, departing passangers reach a first level security check before getting into the boarding gates.
