1- FENA’A INSTITUTE
Fena’a is a mixed used building of an Islamic institute, a mosque, a library, and a guesthouse. It is located in the diplomatic quarter in Riyadh and spans 21,000 square meters. The project delivers core common values between educational and Islamic buildings by focusing on sustainability, functionality, spirituality, and social engagement.
The project reintroduces Islamic architecture through contemporary design. It combines sustainable strategies such as Riwaq, inner courtyards, and mashrabiyas.
The projects name can be pronounced with either a fatḥa (a) or a kasra (i). When pronounced with a kasre, it refers to the “courtyard,” a key element in Islamic architecture. When pronounced with a fatha, it signifies the concept of “ephemirality” reflecting the idea that all creation is subject to disappearance. This dual meaning is embodied in the architectural masses, which appear to either emerge or dissolve, capturing the essence of both interpretations.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem is both spiritual and architectural: 1- The absence of Islam influence on our daily life and 2-The lack of integration between traditional Islamic architectural principles and modern sustainable design in contemporary educational spaces, resulting in buildings that often prioritize efficiency over cultural identity and engagement with the natural environment
Functionality
Islam is usually taught through theory Prioritizes beauty and symbolizm

STRATIGIES
MAIN FINDINGS
Islamic architecture is deeply tied to heritage and carries functional, spiritual, and aesthetic purposes, which make it a must in a spiritual context. Islamic architecture balances functionality and aesthetics through features like arcades, which create transitional spaces, and courtyards, which offer comfort and privacy
Islamic architecture adapts seamlessly to different climates and cultures, ensuring functionality while preserving identity. It encourages passive design strategies, such as orientation, natural ventilation, and shading, which reduce reliance on modern mechanical systems
Architects must navigate between preserving traditional aesthetics and adopting innovative materials and techniques that align with modern needs.

3- THE 360 DESIGN SCHOOL
Located in King Abdullah Economic City, the city's with unique landscape, a blend of Striking buildings, the calming sea, and vibrant plant life, influenced the design of this school. The concept behind the 360 Degree Design School is to not only house five design schools but also to become an extension of their identities, reflected in its architecture, this approach aims to achieve a two fold mission: maximizing the variety of views students experience and strengthening the connection between humans and nature. incorporating perspectives and encouraging unconventional thinking, the building it self becomes a canvas for creativity.
