Y O U S R A B O U R A S 2023-2024 ARCHITECTURE

I am Yousra Bouras, a dedicated architecture student set to graduate in June 2024 My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in architectural theory, design principles, and technical proficiency in software such as AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and the Adobe Creative Suite. What led me to choose architecture as my path is my lifelong love for houses and the art of designing them to reflect one's unique tastes and aspirations I am deeply passionate about the idea of creating someone's dream house, and it's this passion that drives my dedication to the field.

Moreover, I am driven by a strong desire to work on projects that not only prioritize beauty and aesthetics but also have a meaningful impact on people's lives, improving their way of living according to their life circumstances I believe in the transformative power of architecture to make positive changes in communities Throughout my studies, I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, refining my creative problem-solving skills and demonstrating a commitment to design excellence I am particularly interested in exploring architecture's potential to address contemporary challenges and create spaces that enhance the well-being of individuals and communities

I am eager to gain experience in various facets of the field and contribute to the advancement of architecture with a focus on improving the lives of people My portfolio, available for review, showcases my dedication to pushing the boundaries of design with this mission in mind I would love the opportunity to continue exploring my journey in architecture while making a meaningful change for people through my work

THIS IS A MEDITATION CAMP AND CENTER LOCATED AT RUSALKA LAKE, POZNAN, POLAND

THE MAIN BUILDING HAS AN AREA OF 1545 SQUARE METERS, AND THERE ARE 6 OUTDOOR CABINS, EACH WITH AN AREA OF 24 SQUARE METERS

THE CAMP FOLLOWS A DAILY SCHEDULE, AND THE BUILDING'S LAYOUT REFLECTS THIS SCHEDULE, GUIDING CAMPERS THROUGH THEIR ACTIVITIES

THE BUILDING'S DESIGN INTEGRATES WITH THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, USING CURVES TO CREATE A SENSE OF FLOW INTO NATURE

THE BUILDING'S PLAN DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN SERVED AND SERVANT CIRCULATION, WITH SEMI-PRIVATE AND PRIVATE SPACES ACTING AS A BOUNDARY BETWEEN THESE CIRCULATION TYPES

E R U S A Ł K L A K E

C

WITHIN THE DESIGNED COMPLEX, WE AIM TO PROVIDE FUNCTIONALITY, A CONNECTION TO NATURE, AND A PLEASANT HABITABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CITIZENS OF RAWICZ THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

THE MAIN DESIGN COMPRISES THREE PRIMARY SECTIONS

THE FIRST SECTION INCLUDES SPACE FOR EVENTS, PARKING, AND A TEMPORARY MARKET OUR RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE PEOPLE OF RAWICZ HAVE A TRADITION OF GATHERING IN THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION TO SET UP TEMPORARY TENTS FOR TRADE AND SOCIALIZE

TO PRESERVE THIS TRADITION, OUR DESIGN INCORPORATES BOTH SEMI-PERMANENT AND SEMI-TEMPORARY MARKET AREAS AT THE ENTRANCE THIS PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY WHEN HOSTING EVENTS OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS

DURING SUCH EVENTS, THE TEMPORARY TENTS CAN BE REMOVED TO CREATE OPEN SPACES FOR HOSTING EVENTS AND CONCERTS

ADDITIONALLY, A SPECIFIC AREA IS ALLOCATED FOR VAN-TYPE CARS TO PARK AND SELL THEIR GOODS, BASED ON OUR RESEARCH FINDINGS

THE DESIGN INCLUDES 67 PARKING SPACES WITH ELECTRONIC IRON POLES FOR PASSAGE

THESE IRON POLES CAN BE LOWERED TO ACCOMMODATE LARGER VEHICLES

THERE ARE THREE MAIN ENTRANCES:

THE FIRST ENTRANCE LEADS TO THE CAR PARK AND EVENTS AREA

THE SECOND AND THIRD ENTRANCES ARE V-SHAPED PATHS FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PLOT LEADING TO THE CENTRAL STRUCTURE

THE MAIN BUILDING IS MAINLY CONSTRUCTED FROM BRICK AND GLASS ELEMENTS, GIVING IT A MODERN LOOK

THE MAIN BUILDING WILL PRIMARILY BE USED FOR PERMANENT MARKETS, PROVIDING A SPACE FOR RAWICZ RESIDENTS TO GATHER, SOCIALIZE, AND ENJOY INDOOR ACTIVITIES

THE UNIQUE DESIGN AND THE BEAUTIFUL COURTYARD IN THE MIDDLE MAKE IT A PLEASANT SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY
