1.rE-TREE-IT cOLLEGE

the project explores how to build a college in harmony with nature in a non distructive way by using timber as the main contruction material incorporating the traditional craftings like japanese joinery and venice timber foundation.

The project gives the opportunity to study and live in between the nature itself rather then just admiring it.

The concept idea is to expand the Florey building on the other side of the river as intended on the original Florey concept

On the other side of the river we will mirror florey build and create an enclosure allowing us to understand the two buildings are one and not separate.

The two building will create a new courtyard which will be an invisible link connecting the two building

As the other side is a nature marsh environmental ,it requires a more sensitise approach therefore|re the building will be splint in small part to allow nature to flow in

The main Florey building will copy the language of the new building and will be split as well to improve the existing circulation.

Sprint models exploring the wood material

Shelter model exploring wood structure evolving from sprint models

The model explores how to create a shelter inspired from a forest/trees by looking into the verticality element. The three pillars tries to work together to make the structure to be stronger and creates a roof at the same time.

2. Pearl City

The project focuses on regenerating the existing historical site Ras Al Khaimah. The site is required to bring to life again the area by reusing the Coral stone buildings.

As one of the biggest reasons for those building to develop was the trade of pearls, the project focus on keeping the local history and activity by transforming it into a big pearl farming,workshop and shop.
