The 6th floor area is limited due to the historic queen roof truss The roof is constructed of timber which is supported by the columns visible from the center of the 5th floor area. The focus, in this case, is to understand the truss structure and what to include in this limited space as a heritage building and by keeping this important element I thought about using this space as a small artist library. However, the existing roof windows would give nice natural lighting and natural ventilation inside this small space

The main focus on the 5th floor is to provide modern gallery space, communal area, and workshop area by considering the top two floors as a single level. The expressed queen truss with the generous floor to ceiling height will allow a different feel to the space. However, the rendered image shows the interior elements I considered inside of each space by providing an open space but, also some separation and easy connection.

Typology: Research Center for post Covid rehabilitation comprising clinical and rehab facilities Year: 2022 F C U D O F H E B U L D G D E G softwares used in th s project
In this module, we were asked to design a Research Centre for post Covid 19 Rehabilitation comprising clinical and rehab facilities for those who are recovering from the illness and willing to participate in clinical and behavioral research programs. At the start, I had to answer some of the initial questions I held for the new building such as: How the research center can be transformed from a serious figure to a new, open, welcoming environment, and attractive space for the patients, and how can it highlight the relationship with the basic brick surrounding buildings within the context, thus creating a dramatic effect?

The roof design took several stages till I reached out to the final design shape and that was achieved by creating a few physical models iterations Moreover, after understanding the scale of the roof shape and its placement. I had to design the structure of it and think of the material that it will be used reflecting on the precedents that I have chosen
The proposed perspective structure section shows the exposed timber structure inside of the building cantilevers towards the canal. However, the shape of the structure created a unique view inside of the connection bridge which gives a sense of attraction and seriousness.

The concept response is based on a linear design and on a folded plate geometric bridge roof connection, signifying that the geometric flued bridge connection cantilevers out towards the canal and emerges with the flow of the water. In addition, another design intention was to break the seriousness of the original linear building shape and to have a strong feature in the building, as well as to improve the connection of both building spaces by keeping the public character of the site context as a shared space for the public.

The building structure material chosen is the CLT timber frame design which it’s an environmentally friendly material as it acts as a carbon skin because it absorbs carbon dioxide more than it uses, also it’s known as a lightweight structure, considered a fire safety and a cost effective material. The use of the green roof contributes to thermal comfort in which it absorbs heat and it manages stormwater as sustainable urban drainage Considering the quality of the lighting indoor, sky roof windows and the elevation windows exterior skin are double glazed which could manage a warmer internal temperature and also reduce the outdoor noise
