THINK ENVIRONMENTAL .. BUILD ICONIC THE ICONIC BUILDING IS HERE TO STAY

hen you think of the world’s most iconic works of urban architecture, they all have something in common: they push – and defy – boundaries through their innovative design, daring to go beyond what is considered the norm.also An iconic urban building obviously needs to be located in one of the world’s most incredible cities. There’s little surprise you’ll find many of the world’s most innovative and unique works of architecture in cities such as New York, London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Paris and Sydney. The bright lights and vibrant atmosphere of these cities makes them ideal locations for buildings that inspire. • Creating a stand out design is important but one should never neglect the needs of the end users. • I believes an iconic design is a driving factor for demand.so, We are not working there for our customers to come as a one-off, we need a repeat market. • Let’s not forget that iconic structures and iconic hotels actually attract a lot of people as well so I think if you’re working on a design and it’s very iconic, I think that’s a very fresh start to get those clients through the doors, so I think it is important for a building to be iconic. • It depends on the vision of the developer, the engagement with us as designers because obviously, we are delivering their vision. And it’s always very interesting when the operator comes on board- how early or later in the process because they will have a different view on what’s appropriate for their brand.

Vision

One of the architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main purposes is buildings have to function efficiently, but in my opinion, there should always be an idea behind each of them.

INSPIRATION ALBERT EINSTEIN

LE CORBUSIER

BJARKE INGELS

Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician.

YES IS MORE "Historically, architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes: an avant-garde full of crazy ideas, originating from philosophy or mysticism; and the well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard. Architecture seems entrenched: naively utopian or petrifyingly pragmatic. We believe there is a third way between these diametric opposites: a pragmatic utopian architecture that creates socially, economically and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective.

REM KOOLHAAS

ZAHA HADID

“Architecture is a hazardous mixture of omnipotence and impo- “There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” tence.It is by definition a c h a o t i c a d v e n t u r e... In other words, the utopian enterprise.”

HOW TO REBUILD A WAR ZONE?

FROM CAMPS TO CITIES : CASE SYRIA Location: SYRIA Type: International Competition status: 2nd place by shelterglobal components: housing starting date: 2017 Over the past 6 years, the disastrous war in Syria has claimed about 400,000 lives, most of which were cilvilians. Survivors flee toward what they hope will be a safer existence. Around 40,000 Syrians have migrated to Turkey, with 100,000 still waiting at the border. Border camps have become a new reality, and new urbanity, for those fleeing Aleppo. Hastily constructed, but inhabited for years, the refugee camp is its own type of city. These camps simultaneously act as prisons and safe havens by providing feelings of security, but also hopelessness.Some of the settlements at the Syria - Turkey border, created for those fleeing the violence, are formal efforts by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights or other non-governmental organizations. Some are informal villages created out of desperate need. There is not a clear distinction between the two: formal efforts follow from informal ones, and informal areas grow around formal establishments. The camps on the Syria-Turkey border, en route from Aleppo to Turkey and beyond, create a type of urbanism that stems from conflict. The rapidly growing population of the refugee camps led them to expand unplanned, which has affected the living conditions, community and environment of countless lives.

THE CURRENT SITUATION AND THE PROBLEM Currently known as the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, the on-going Syrian civil war has not only eroded the nation in its entirety but also defaced its cultural identity. Over 11 million people have been displaced in the last five years and 4.8 million refugees have been forced to seek protection in neighbouring countries, resulting in a continental scale exodus. What was once a land with a rich history and diverse culture is now a wartorn nation reduced to rubble.

The proposal aims to accompany the Syrian peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential grieving process on the path of a healthy recovery. By establishing new foundations that embrace the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaotic past while engaging in innovative mixed urban typologies, the project installs the memory process as the backbone of the new city. In a bruised but recovering Syria, scars of past battles shall not be erased. The ruins are considered as the privileged support for the new city. Wherever possible, ruins will be stabilized in order to coexist with the new structural frame superimposed to them, so as to be preserved as a memorial of the tragic war.

CONCEPT ETHOS planning and organizing the rapidly growing density of refugee camps and improving their living conditions by introducing new infrastructure that is inspired by their rich history and culture. The design process starts with one human and his needs which creates the smallest unit. We developed a modular system around a unit. Adding further units, let the houses grow in any direction for different needs and offers a great amount of flexibility to react to different situations.

BUILD YOUR HOME.KEEP OUR IDENTITY

SUSTAINABILITY ANDAGRICULTURE The ancient “Fertile Crescent” is today ironically threatened by the end of its food self-sufficiency. In this context, urban agriculture becomes a promising alternative for sustainability of the farming future of Syria. By implementing growing areas to the habitation modules, every Syrian becomes a part-time farmer, at the centre of a network of commodities exchanges within a district, enhancing the interdependence of those new urban communities. also, Agriculture and urban wastelands will grow side by side: nature and life gradually resuming their rights over those deadly symbols, letting sanctified ruins stand as the quiet witnesses of Syria’s rebirth.

SCIENCE CITY MASTER PLAN 02 THE SCIENCE CITY RE-TELLING THE STORY OF EGYPT THROUGH ITS LAND Location: Cairo - EGYPT Type: International Competition Status: The best unbuild project in ME by AIA Components:Mixed-use Starting Date: 2015 Total area: 124.994 m2 Client : Bibliotheca Alexandrina - International Union of Architects (IUA)

“Science is driven by curiosity about the natural world and the inner self. It is empirical, rational and logical. It is about the joy of discovery and the delight of understanding.” The Science City will be a new and unique way to encourage the human’s primitive sense of curiosity, investigation, and adventure in a way where it can be experienced through the twists and turns of a building. The paths, Siq’s angular lines, and the human social activities and interactions, drive the visitors into a journey that honors Egypt’s past, celebrates its present, and invents its future. With this one-of-a-kind discovery, the society as whole, national and foreign, will gain insights into scientific culture. The more the visitors gain knowledge, the more appreciation will be received. A society whose culture is permeated by a culture of science is one whose public discourse honors the search for truth, recognizes the contributions of others, remains open to opposing points of view, celebrates rationality, and adheres to logic and proof.

HE STORY OF EGYPT THROUGH WELCOME TO THE THIRD JEWEL OF THE TRIANGLE Three exceptionally critical arguments will make the New Egyptian Science City a showstopper to the world as a whole. Visitors, as well as employees, will be tempted to experience the unique visits whilst on their journey of the search for knowledge and the pursuit of science. People and nature were created as one; together they complete each other. When man is close to nature, he knowledges a state of rest and comfort. Since humans not only interact with one another, but also chiefly react with nature, individuals of all backgrounds, upbringings, and eternities tend to have a sense of adventure to explore everything that lays before them. People enjoy exploring this limitless universe, in and out, searching through evidences as unpretentious as the details of the human body, to as complex as the complete web of life. The expressions of such explorations leads to what we now know as Art or Science, the basis of life.

ENABLING REACTIONS

In thinking about how to design the buildings that would constitute ‘Science City’ we reflected on the evolving nature of science. We thought that a place where ideas are formulated, theories are tested and discoveries are made cannot be one where separate programmes are isolated, it needs to be a place where programmes overlap and connect, forming new relationships and unexpected happenings

In addition, the design is linear, permitting flexibility of the construction phase. Unlike many other designs, phasing in this design proposal is not time-restricted. The buildings can be executed on any time schedule, and therefore will make it more convenient to construct. Having the design as several, separate buildings makes this phasing possible; it would not be possible to achieve this idea in a one-building design.

CONCLUSION

CONTEXT UNDERSTANDING The Project very sensitively refers to the desert landscape and sand dunes. It offers a multitude of expressions and melds into the natural landscape and appears quite modest despite its size. It generates architectural forms undulating calmly on the landscape creating a distinct series of expressions on the site, while the usual Cairene urban skyline around it remains busy and uneven. It thus becomes very inviting as a promise of quiet and mysterious, and its very unusual form contributes to its iconic character despite its intentionally unobtrusive character. There is a proposal for a partial oasis in the middle of the buildingwhich can be just as dramatic at night as during the day. The Project has a very simple plan of rows of spaces and corridors interestingly and directly solved and allows a very straightforward scheme for phasing. The project warrants the second prize for its unique approach to building in a direct reference to the characteristic landscape of dunes.

PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3

BRIEF UNDERSTANDING This project was the one that best responded to the challenges of the brief. The design is subtle but rich. It Involves various levels of planning. The overall impact is one of great elegance and finesse. The project feels very much of its place and has the potential to be quite beautiful and to produce a rich series of working, display and learning environments. The basic scheme and concept of the architectural design was impressive, the organisation sound, the phasing logical, the environmental performance promising, and the image very strong but without needless grandiosity.

There is no strict definition between private and public spaces to promote interaction between staff and visitors.The complex is designed to function as though it were a Petri dish, a place where disparate elements are brought close together to enable a reaction VOID High Definition Theatre

CONCEPTUAL SECTION

THE COMPREHENSIVE CONCEPT A minimum mass starts to expand from the gravity centre of the site. The mass aligns with the adjacent urban fabric axis to keep the geometric continuity of the city. The landscape interacts with the expansion and deforms, pushing the relief towards the site boundary. The gradual deformation due to construction phasing generates a new landscape topography - the Science Park - capable to host walking paths above and the Planetarium underneath. Building mass and landscape coexist in a dynamic equilibrium.

HOW TO DESIGN FOR A HUMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FELINGS?

Al NUJOOM ISLAND

SEASCAPE URBANISM IN A KHALIJI PORT CITY Location: Sharjah - UAE Type: Residential Compound Status: Proposed design Components: 321of 1500 villas (G+1) Starting Date: 2015 Total Area: 60,000,000 sq.f Client : Alhanoo Nujoom Island development is located in the Al Hamriyah district of Sharjah. It is located on the north-eastern coast of Sharjah and is bounded by the Emirates of Umm Al Quwain and Ajman to the north and south respectively, with the Sharjah - Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) Road forming the eastern boundary. Nujoom Islands is a commercial, residential and tourist development which will provide districts for more than 45,000 residents with 33 km of beach front land to the Sharjah coast. The study focuses on highlighting key issues, identifying possible solutions and providing a picture of the expected growth in traffic and the overall impact this will have on the area under consideration.

SITE ANALYSIS THE OLD IS GOLD

FROM URBAN TO FABRIC

CONECT BETWEN THE PAST AND THE EXISTING

SITE STRATEGY Sharjah was one of the wealthiest towns in this region with a settlement in existence for over 5000 years. In the early 18th century, the Qawasim clan (Huwayla tribe) established itself in Sharjah, c.1727 declaring Sharjah independent. On 8 January 1820, Sheikh Sultan I signed the General Maritime Treaty with Britain, accepting a protectorate to keep the Ottoman Turks out. Like four of its neighbours, Ajman, Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah, and Umm al-Qaiwain, its position on the route to India made it important enough to be recognized as a salute state (be it of the lowest class: 3 guns).

THE STORE POARD DESIGN CONCEPT Al -Nujoom island design was approached with two major aspects in mind, functionality in terms of investment return, and iconic in an aspect that would make it well known for its design approach. The clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief was to accommodate a beach for every house, and therefore the shape of the island was explored to maximize plots facing the water. Upon the process of functional development, the idea of a seahorse become slowly came into vision, as its form suited so well the idea, and its flexible movements created an opportunity to explorer different possibility that suit the particular plot of the island.

COMPELLING WATERFRONT DESTINATION Although the building are compact,undulations on the facade create an illusion of a multitude of dynamic building building forms,rather than a single conglomeration.through the use of incidental and controlled access on the ground floor the project fosters interconnentivity between the development and the surrounding community.

Al NUJOOM ISLAND DESIGN CONCEPT The minimalist design of modern style employed in this project based on the clean and simple line that define the building forms. Large openings with horizontal lovers create a lasting impression of cosmopolitan lifestyle while the natural texture wall finishes add a residential taste to the facade. Sun Island is a cluster of man-made islands in Sharjah as residential neighborhoods. Residential typologies including stand-alone villas and duplexes for 3,4,5 and 6 bed units.

Starting Date: 2017 Total B.U.A: 133,119 m2 Client : AL RAJHI EKHWAN A compelling new mixed-use development which will provide a contemporary proposition while reflecting the prevailing Makkah character,topography and climate. Our design approach to this master plan is from inside out. Accepting it is a dense project, our process started with carving open spaces out of the dense whole. The buildings emerge around a series of public plazas,courtyards and avenues inspired by the traditional Makkah and Arab city fabric and architecture. The result is a contemporary interpretation of Makkah culture and heritage,yet one that extends Makkah identity to fit a modern and contemporary world and context. Our solution is a seamless cross-over between past, present and future.

THE

LOCATION

SITE ANALYSIS CONTEXT UNDERSTANDING The city of Mecca lies about 70 km in land from the Red Sea port of Jeddah. It is built in a hollow in the mountains known as Batn Mecca. The oldest part of the city contains the Holy Mosque and the Kaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ba and is known as al-Batha. Rainfall is extremely scarce and unpredictable; in ancient times water was supplied by a series of wells, the most important of which is the well of Zamzam within the holy precinct. Despite the aridity of the area the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position makes it prone to flash floods which are diverted by a series of dams and channels which deflect water away from the city centre.

ARCHITECTURE IS THE MOST SOCIAL AND PUBLIC FORM OF ART BECAUSE IT SHAPES OUR CITIES AND THE SPACE AROUND US, WHERE WE LIVE AND SPEND THE MAJORITY OF OUR TIME. IT IS AT THE SAME TIME EXTREMELY INTIMATE BECAUSE IT INTERACTS WITH OUR MOST PRIVATE SPACES AND HAS THE POWER TO AFFECT OUR LIVES AND OUR INNER FEELINGS. Tommaso Calistri

Location: MECCA - KSA Type: International Competition Components: (Hotel, Retail, and Residential Complex) consists of three basement, Ground,Three stars hotel apartment (80 floors), Residential apartments(10 floors), Pilgrims accommodation (10 floors) . Starting Date: 2017 Plot Area: 27251.18 m2 Total B.UA: 279325.00 m2 Client : ABDULLAH BIN HASSAN AL-SHEIKH Addressing the overall criteria of the project, the approach to the design quickly took on an abstraction of the terrain like buildings of MAKKAH, in which blocks on buildings are infused with each other and with the mountains that host them. Thus, intersecting and overlapping masses arrange themselves to the curved plot, each with its own slightly different orientation. The design of the top of the masses stresses their belonging to the same â&#x20AC;&#x153;speciesâ&#x20AC;?, Though each has a slight variation expressing a sort of individual personality. The highest feature, an extension of a core, rises higher than all and evokes a beacon like impression, which is further highlighted by the way it is intended to be lit at night. the overall arrangement of heights keeps faithful to the impression of the mountainous terrain that was intended in the concept.

SITE ANALYSIS MAIN INSPIRATION

THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT

According to ancient Arabian traditions, when Adam and Eve were cast from Paradise they fell to different parts of the earth; Adam on a mountain on the island of Serendip, or Sri Lanka, and Eve in Arabia, on the border of the Red Sea near the port of Jeddah. For two hundred years Adam and Eve wandered separate and lonely about the earth. Finally, in consideration of their penitence and wretchedness, God permitted them to come together again on Mt. Arafat, near the present city of Mecca (previously called Becca or Bakkah, meaning narrow valley). Adam then prayed to God that a shrine might be granted to him similar to that at which he had worshipped in Paradise. Adam's prayers were answered and a shrine was built.

THE CITY OF MAKKAH AND PILGRIM JOURNEY Central Makkah lies in a corridor between mountains, which is often called the “Hollow of Makkah.” The area contains three big valleys, and this mountainous location nature has defined the contemporary expansion of the city. Beside the fact that Makkah’s environment is an extremely rough one; the city was and still under huge pressures to be an Eco-city. The driver behind such a need is what known as Hajj. Hajj is one of the five basic pillars of Islam which is the pilgrimage to Makkah. This religious obligation is to be fulfilled at least once in the course of the life of each Muslim; nevertheless, religious law grants much exclusion on grounds of hardship. Hajj includes a series of extensively detailed rituals that takes around six days to be completed and must be held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Nowadays, according to a 2010 study and released January 2011, Islam has 1.57 billion adherents, making up over 23% of the world population. During Hajj, Makkah receives a gathering of more than 2 million Muslims annually.

End of the current phase of architectural idolatry and start the age of the icons

THE LOCATION JVC

PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT

The Persian Gulf has seen an incredible transformation over recent decades.Fueled by an oil-rich underground, the scarce populations of the Emirates and kingdoms have seen an extreme boom in lifestyle, consumption, and urbanization. A largely nomadic population half a century ago, the region is now the home of the tallest structure in the world and one of the highest concentrations of high-rises. with an economy based on oil, lush gardens irrigated with desalinated water, and luxury condo towers in glass and steel, the Arabian region has also become synonymous with all the environmental problems that the world faces today: Rampant energy consumption, carbon emissions, wasteful use of resources, excessive consumerism, and a loss of indigenous culture.

INVERSE CITY SKYLINE

CENTER OF CITY AS PUPLIC SPACE PEOPLE-CITY

A SINGLE MONOLITHIC VOLUME CONSTRUCTED The ambition of this project is to end the current phase of architectural idolatry, where the obsession with individual genius far exceeds commitment to the collective effort that is needed to construct the city. Instead of an architecture of form an image, we have created a reintegration of architecture and engineering, where intelligence is not invested in effect, but in a structural and conceptual logic that offers a new kind of performance and functionality. What is needed is a new beginning, a Renaissance. Dubai is confronted by its most important choice: Does it join so many others in this mad, futile race or does it become the first 21st-century metropolis to offer a new credibility?

Cladded with an impressive and elegant glass curtain wall, this 15-floor building, exhibits clean lines and verticality in design, with facades that highlight the bustling essence of Downtown. In addition, the floor plates are configured to give tenants maximum flexibility within their spaces. It is poised to be a new landmark addition to Sharjah’s alluring skyline.

SITE ANALYSIS

SITE

CONTINUATY

CONCEPT = CONTEXT

The site has a unique location as this will be the first high-rise development as the gateway to all Dubaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown and Sharjah area. This was a significant generator of the design where the developer has the ability to own the gateway to Dubai. The challenge was how to end this with a silhouette that stands together with other icons of the world.

SITEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LANDMARK

TRANSFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM EVERY OUTLOOK True icons can be drawn in no more than four or six lines and be totally recognizable. this was the challenge and not to design WILLS’ that blends into the background of towers in Sharjah and Dubai. This is demonstrated in the design by creating one stronger impact as an icon than one single tower. philology that is embedded into the project is “timeless design” where the building needs to be elegant and pure in form. this also means that the building should not be overly articulated; timeless building transcends fashion, stand proud, hold their value and will ultimately look inspirational for many decades from now.

THE LUXURE HOME WATING YOU Location: Dubai - UAE Type: Residential Status: Preliminary design Components: (G+14 Typical+Roof) Starting Date: 2018 Plot area: 1507.50 m2 Total B.UA:18543.68 m2 Client : Al-maskan Alhadeth Real Estate The plot for the project is located in the positioning of being directly behind Al BARARI and Nicola Theo Yoga which affords magnificent views of the park and City of Arabia.the client had a certain vision of the architectural language as consisting of an array of repetitive floors extending all the way to the top, and that their curtain wall would be somewhat limited in use. PARADISE VIEW II building design was conceived as a response to the interpretation of clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision in several aspects. in terms of image, the response of the design language was a choice of sharp, and edges. the design was approached in a contemporary massing and language melting with modern design in a state of harmony and unity. the shard - like type of the form provides a unique mass which further stresses a highly contemporary approach to the design.

I HAVEN’T COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD WHAT MY DESIGN STYLE IS, BUT I THINK DESIGN REQUIRES RESEARCH AND BEING CRITICAL AND RESPONSIVE. IT REQUIRES FIGURING OUT WHAT THE MOST APPROPRIATE SOLUTION IS – WHETHER THAT’S A RESPONSE TO CULTURE, CONTEXT, HISTORY OR NATURE. ARCHITECTURE IS THE TOOL THAT CREATES AN INTERFACE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. Farah Al-Khoury

HOW TO PRESERVE THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN ?

010 AL-MAWAHEB SCHOOL EDUCATION SCHOOL

Location: Sharjah - UAE Type: Educational Status: Under Construction Components: (G+1) Starting Date: 2016 Plot area: 29266.50 m2 Total B.UA:24105.80 m2 Client :Confidential AL-MAWAHEB school is situated in Sharjah.intended as a primary school intended for children from kindergarten up to grade 3 only, the client of the AL-MAWAHEB school should look like, and a unique vision of how the different function and concept of the school related to each: the first point of the brief for the language was that it should look like a playful “castle” with modern style and Containment from the inside open areas. The second, for reasons of evoking pride of historical heritage, Tahe third was it should be colourful and almost Disney- like. The forth that it had to visually connect to school’s existing secondary school across the plot. for the designer’s point view, there was for obvious reasons, the strong intention to keep a somewhat academic appearance to the project - to still resemble a school. With this in mind, All themes of the brief had to be abstracted to a level that avoids a kitsch look, but still, satisfy the brief.

SITE CONCLUSION Sharjah is engraving its history on the panels of time The continuous development of Sharjah between the desert and the sea generated a linear pattern in the initial urban form. Though modern urban and architectural interventions of the past 40 years have eroded traces of Sharjahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich, varied and unique historic development, the contemporary official architecture of public buildings blends regional influences with local traditions.

DESIGN CONCEPT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

"Containment" it's my approach in the project which the school's master plan features distinct zoning between academic, sports and kids areas. This ensures the safety and security of students as well as residents. A similar approach is adopted for roads and pathways, where clear circulation routes guide users around the school. The main entrance is carefully articulated along the south of the site. For added safety, pedestrian and vehicular corridors are separated from one another, while designated paths lead to the open play areas.
