NO SMOKING Pencil on vellum, chip board, AutoCAD.
Exhibition
DES 132, American University of Sharjah
Situated within the heart of the AUS campus, the kiosk is treated as a direct reaction to an event happening on site. Since smoking is not allowed inside buildings, students enjoy their smoke outdoors with the site being one of these several gathering smoke zones. The kiosk deals with a perfectly rectalinear corner and creats awkward moments, spaces that could no longer be used to chill and smoke. Moreover, it is multimedia oriented: it includes LCD and running bar screens. It also sells copies of the university newspaper. If you cant find a spot to stand or sit and enjoy a cigarette, you will probably suffer a terrible headache; the kiosk also sells Panadol. a floor plan b section aa c expansion sequence d final model.

A KIT OF PARTS Gesso primer, MDF, AutoCAD, pencil on cartridge.
Conceptual
ARC 201, American University of Sharjah
A kit of 48 pieces was provided. They came in various but multiple dimensions, all but one. The “big� piece was a challenge for everyone. It was not to be used as a divider nor a base. Literally, hiding it was an under goal. The scheme involved using different forms of that piece with its volume as a constraint; folded once, twice and three times. However, the duplicates are voids that are enclosed by the other 47 pieces. That volume is now repeated 6 times + the original. The original is no longer dominant but is just another iteration. a volumetric addition b unfolded elevation c unfolded section d section planes + sections e mdf model.

DYNAMICS OF AN ENTRY Ink on vellum, AutoCAD, chip board.
Housing
ARC 201, American University of Sharjah
This investigation involved an experiment where the enterance to the site transformed a 3d lattice of the site’s volume into a dynamic state. Conventional habitation program was divided into soft and hard spaces. Hard spaces are those with standard conditions such as services while soft are those with much more flexibility. Degrees of affection were also established depending on the type of “function”. A string with the most public space (entrance) at one end and most private (artist’s studio) at the other was also applied as a tertiary rule. a soft spaces + hard spaces b section/plan sequence c 3d lattice transformation d sketch models e final model.

HOUSING ALTERNATIVES Ink on vellum, mdf, chip board, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop.
Housing
ARC 202, American University of Sharjah
A series of specifically dimensioned structural walls define movement. Inhabitants move perpendicular to the wall and strategically placed openings allow them to move from one side of the wall to the other. Units are arranged with public spaces along the X-axis and private ones along the Y. A group of units form a block that is repeated across the area of any given site. Each unit has its own entrance. A singular staircase provides vertical circulation to units of alternating heights. The ground level is open for social interaction. Outdoor recreation spaces happen on top of some units. All services (pipes, ducts, etc.) are contained within the walls. The winning entry could be found under Infinite Strip competition (third honorable mention - Asia region) at the Arquitectum website. a circulation/structural wall elevations b second floor plan (three repetitive blocks) c first floor plan (three repetitive block) d south elevation e details of presentation model f presentation sectional model.

HOUSING ALTERNATIVES Ink on vellum, mdf, chip board, 3ds max, AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop.
Housing
ARC 202, American University of Sharjah
The housing alternatives project was further developed to meet the design requirmentsof the Infinite Strip competition 2006. It envolved an exploration of the strip as a formal design device. The two adjacent buildings are treated as “mass generators”: one creates a solid strip that knits its way through the volume of the site and eventually welds itself to the other across the site. The “infinite strip” is not only continuous within itself but is infinite within its urban context. The walls provide a basic structure that supports the strip as it winds through the site. This allows the strip to move independently through the site and across the walls. Openings within the walls allow the strip to be read as continuous and therefore infinite. a strip interaction with circulation/ structural walls b section sequence through 2 bedroom unit c wall addition sequence d second floor plan (single repetitive block) e first floor plan (single repetitive block) f 1 bedroom unit g eye-level view h strip progression.

CITY HOTEL: CORE FORM 3ds Max, Adobe Photoshop, PowerCADD.
Mixed use
KWEC, Dubai, UAE
With Mustafa Alwani
Situated within Dubailand, the G+34 tower uses the conventional “service core� as a primary form enclosure: vertically, it acts as circulation and horizontally as mechanical roofing and linking bridges.

This project takes an analytical approach to motion that involves mapping the position of moving objects at equal time intervals thus creating a path that connects these different positions. The topographic ground line of the site undergoes a process where it splits into 4 layers each acting according to its node. Each programmatic is element is now expressed as a path and is enclosed by the ground line layers. Structural frames are generated from sections through the paths taken at equal intervals. a site nodes + 4 layer seperation b structural frames + program distribution c sketch model evolution d section @ consecutive strips e physical model.

Housing
With Prof. Kevin Mitchell & Mustafa Alwani
This project proposes a flexible high-density courtyard housing model that can be adapted to fit a variety of sites, family sizes and income levels. The scheme can be adapted to accommodate large families in bigger units or young singles/retirees in smaller studio units. The project seeks to maximize space and provide living areas that are equivalent to or greater than singlefamily homes. The courtyard is open to the street and allows free access through a covered transition zone that can function as a place for community events during inclement weather. The transition zone provides some degree of separation while making a strong spatial connection to the neighborhood. The entry could be found under Eastern infill site category, #026, Portland Courtyard housing competition website. a site max-capacity calculation b small family options price scale c section aa d space modules definition e section bb f second floor plan g first floor plan h ground floor plan.

Housing
With Prof. Kevin Mitchell & Mustafa Alwani
The proposal seeks to provide exterior spaces with varying degrees of privacy from the public courtyard to semi-public exterior spaces for individual units. Given the challenges associated with integrating parking, the scheme separates parking from the courtyard and employs traffic-calming measures where the access passes through the public zone. The project proposes a condominium arrangement. This results from the intention to develop units that take full advantage of the site to provide flexible options. Color has been employed to contribute to the sense of ownership. The goal is to develop units that provide the benefits of single-family homes while creating interaction possibilities that occur in higher density dwelling situations. a site b sketch model c family size versus unit options d possible unit combinations e view from covered transition zone f view from street g view into courtyard.

Immigration always holds within it notions of displacement and pain. It includes the process of integrating an alien body into an existing setting. While this might never be fully accomplished, a building for immigrants can reflect this type of connection by first creating a situation where two masses are made to inhabit a single site, then attempting to stitch them together onto a single entity. A stitch is a universal form of connection; means of stitching is proposed by a strip of programatic elements arranged from the most public: open public space to the most private: immigrant accomodation. a stitch unfolded b user versus program c massing unfolded d ground floor plan e program massing model f site.

Photography for architects. The sequence represents a documentation of a structure on death-row. It captures elements that will no longer exist as the structure is taken down. Unusual conditions take place as the building is stranded of everything but its’ floors, ceilings and walls. The images offer a fresh insight on how buildings are viewed when they are empty. The interior images capture memories of events that once took place while others explore composition.

IGY- Island Global Yachting approached Aedas to design the Anchor Marina clubhouse on the Palm Jumeirah. A complete set of drawings was updated weekly and submitted. Details of the sunroof as well as that of the tensile structure were also developed. The same client also commissioned Aedas for the design of a master plan proposal for the peninsula of Sibenik in Croatia. The master plan includes a 4 star hotel with a shopping promenade, a 3 star hotel on one edge of the plan, 7 luxury villas , 24 town houses and a VIP exclusive club house for yacht owners. Contour manipulation was part of the exercise as roads, slopes and access were designed. a floor plandesign development stage b tensile structure ariel view c skylight ariel view d tensile structure eye-level view e shading elements detail f skylight section g railing 3d detail h view from harbour i town houses j luxury villa #4 k view towards 4 star hotel + shopping promenade l masterplan ariel view.

Wi-Fi networks, in addition to existing in almost every metropolitan around the world, are invisible; do not contribute to the “image” of Dubai, at least not directly. The signal coverage area acts as an extension to an enclosed space (where the access point is located and has coverage) whether that was a living room, a meeting room in an office or even a retail space. Therefore at any given point within the city, multiple Wi-Fi networks from different sources overlap bringing programs out from behind walls and into the observer’s personal space. The winning entry can be found at the Cityscape Global website + 2A Magazine website. a urban elevation showing wifi access points b mapping of wifi access points showing detection path taken and relevant information: coordinate, name, signal strength, router brand and channel used c voronoi diagram showing invisible boundries created at different positions within a matrix of points.

However, there seems to be a huge gap between the virtual wireless world and the physical junk spaces in Dubai.The project attempts to translate an advanced complex e-world into a physical built spatial condition creating harmonious existence between the two systems in the city. The matrix of access points in the city is put against an event: driving through the city. Geometrical relationships start to emerge together with new invisible boundaries. The boundaries react physically to a new point accessing the system. They rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise and consequently shift upwards or downwards. a situations before and after the addition of a new point/boundary b system physical model c sketch model d simultaneous rotation of elements to create an interior boundry.

The boundaries fold, cut through or merge depending on their frequencies/ channels. An access point with a higher frequency cuts through one with a lower frequency creating a fold. Merging takes place if the two boundaries share the same frequency. The activators and affected boundaries eventually freeze as the chain effect proceeds to other levels. The pods happen across the city and house a generic office space, where each, depending on its area/view advantage, is required to share a portion of its bandwidth with surrounding lobbies. The structure provides the public with a network where open source collaborations, forums, discussions and LAN gaming takes place.

These pods are eventually able to share information, such as traffic conditions; they form their own network. They can also act as transition where information is sent through them to another station then eventually to its receiver. The signal is transmitted across the building through reflector panels that mirror the signal to a specific location(s). The pods reflect the Wi-Fi density of the city. The vertical circulation elements i.e. stairs are all separated from the planes and do not interfere with the operations: actions + reactions that are happening. The same happens with piping and electrical systems. a exploded layering of locked/unlocked/public points recorded on site b office/reflector massing c signal reflection through reflectors into urban lobbies d panel assembly e 3d sectional detailed models f skin/structure/ circulation elements exploded.

Iterations dealt with creating a system that incorporates a standard door closer within a mechanism able to contract and expand along a vertical line. The single module is repeated creating ten identical supports on top of which a flexible aluminium sheet configuration lies. This metal bed deforms under the weight of different body parts and retains its original shape when the weight is removed. The steel structure underneath holds the supports together and insures enough ground clearance for the gears and chains. Persons weighing less than 45kg will not generate any deflection while those above 120kg will bring the arms to a maximum contraction. This experiment produced a fully working prototype, a very heavy one. a price/ quantity of elements used b cross section c weight distribution of the Modular d modular structure plan e aluminium sheet bed plan showing individual panels f exploded axonometric of a single module.

The proposal explores the use of readymade patterns in architecture. A spatial design is chosen from a ready-to-build architecture magazine. The selection depends on the programmatic requirements and the current architectural style. Patterns for each program are applied to the site. Floor slabs are used as raw material. The patterns are cut out and joined together, stitched creating an instant space. Circulation is assigned to the leftover material. A steel frame/curtain wall construction acts as the stitching that holds all pieces together. The magazine includes illustrations of each space, patterns in various sizes and construction details. The building is one outfit with each program a single garment. The entry could be found under Tokyo competition at the Arquitectum website. a section AA b basement #1 c ground floor d 1st floor e 12th floor f 17th floor g programatic cutouts + skin unfolded h build magazine i slab leftovers j runway view k plaza view.

Hotel guests arrive under three 6m cantilevered containers and enter a double height reception lobby followed by a triple height space before leaving the building taking electric cars to their rooms. A tea lounge occupies the cantileverd containers. The east facade of the existing warehouse was completely removed visually connecting both the reception and the office buildings. It also creates interesting conditions as the warehouse structure was kept intact. The warehouse is then re-enclosed by the office building containers spreading inside and occupying part of the interior. Terraces on both buildings are connected through a bridge and down a ramp into the landscape. a masterplan bird’s eye view b masterplan c section through warehouse d container count e first floor plan f section through reception lobby g second floor plan.

The original container floor and roof structures were substituted with reinforced concrete slabs spanning the container columns. The reception lobby is lifted 200mm creating a dark shadow gap underneath. The height difference between the reception lobby and the office building is resolved in bridge #1 connecting them. FCU units are wall-mounted allowing maximum ceiling height. A single steel frame railing is used with two fills: hexagon wire mesh for the exterior and stainless steel ropes for the interior. The cantilivered containers are supported by a steel structure integrated within the containers’ frame. Container doors are perforated and the interior spaces are re-enclosed with glass frames. a office terrace view within warehouse b bridge #1 + removed warehouse facade c steel railing prototype d triple height space + green roof e stairs in reception lobby f cantilevered containers integrated within a steel structure g container door perforation.

The container structure; beams and columns, are expressed in the interior and painted in a yellowish-green color. White glass cladding produces interesting interior reflections in contrast to the matte black finish of the glass/ window frames. The floor, furniture and shelves are all treated in bamboo.

Seventy hotel rooms are grouped into units containing a minimum of five and a maximum of nine. This prototype houses 3 rooms on the ground floor and two on the first floor where the unit is accessed. A retaining wall surrounds the unit from three sides allowing the landscape to reach the first floor level and embedding the containers within. Each room has a private terrrace with unobstructed views towards the river. Two rooms are linked accomodating families or groups. Green blankets and furniture are used complementing the green container finish. a first floor plan b room E interior c room A interior d second floor plan e room C toilet interior f room C interior g section 2 h elevation 2 i pedestrian/electric car path to hotel rooms j view from across the river k hotel rooms interior elevations l bird’s eye view of prototype unit.
