ABOUT ME INDEX ONLINE GRID
Zabbaleen district is a community of garbage collectors named “Garbage City” sits with the highest recycling rate out of any country in the world: 80 to 85 percent of all waste is diverted from landfills. While the percentage of the best technology-based recycling system achieve around 65 percent in Germany. This research project is an attempt to highlight the advantages of an exceptional case for a self-built economy and successful waste management system from the families living below poverty. We propose an urban and architecture development through a series of experimentations and environmental solutions in different design scales. It is a vision for selfsustained community who has compatible social, economic and urban form. The potentials in this self-organized community with successful recycling system is a master key for incoming research projects and explore innovative urban, architecture and environmental development proposals in the future work.

We experiment here a brick model with the use of recycled materials to simulate an ecological process contains water, soil and vegetation inside the brick. The model could be a basic element of a wall. Progressive enhancement is a powerful method in this design process with the use of Garbage city dwellers experience with materials and construction system. We open the discussion for further development and innovative/ cooperative solutions.
24 / 38 RCC VISION is a proposed model of self-sustained community for future urban development and an inspirational reference in the race of sustainability. For more than billion people live in informal urban, the issue is how we integrate them into future development process with respect to their social and urban composition. RCC is a form of productive community based on accurate self-organized recycling system and self-built economy. Human behaviour is a master key in this proposed urban and architectural development. The proposed upgrading opens the discussion about how spontaneous urban forms can inspire formal urban planning strategies and vision by observing its structure and growth. Therefore, raising the question of how the future intervention can achieve success through the development of self-organized communities depending on existing parameters?

ABOUT ME INDEX ONLINE GRID
Since ancient times, the house act as a shelter and a symbol of protection from surrounding environment. Human reflected their local identity and knowledge to define the space and the protection they need. In the gulf region and in the UAE, the definition of the house takes its form through the use of several design principles such as high privacy, harmful weather protection, natural ventilation... etc. When there was no AC technology, courtyards was one of the tools to provide indirect lighting and ventilation, and the connection to the nature. And through deep understanding for their local culture and needs, their priority was about the space not the building and was about the relation to neighbors not the design of the facade. Thinking of the user experience into the space was a clear goal for our design approach. The story starts from the moment when users or guests entering the plot. Our design concept adopts Internal-External design approach and design where people will live, eat, sleep, play, study and communicate. Thinking of space activities and understand the user needs inside the space was in our concern and a tool to provide users comfortable, balanced and magnificent user experience.

Social communication is one of important goals of the passage concept to enhance visual connectivity between spaces and stimulate users interaction.
The graphics presents the vision and design details of each space. Plant, light, air, water and view study are the design keys in our simulation for Dubai sea house. This study shows partially the implementation of biophilic design approach into house and landscape spaces. It is the concept that you don’t know where the landscape ends and the building starts. The goal is increasing comfortability and simulation between users and their private internal and external spaces.

Since the time of Prophet Muhammad, the mosque was about the content before the container. A place for worship, meeting, learning, justice and social consultation. The mosque borrowed everything from nature to build the space. It was all about one open clean space for all functions. Inspiring by this pure mosque definition, we aimed to design a place for people where they feel spiritually treated , connected and get closer to the creator. Life outside the mosque is a full of noise, conflicts and events while the mosque should invites people for the moment when they calm, meditate and think. Using biophilic design approach, nature employed to deliver the message. Through the use of plants, natural light, traditional features and design for the memory, we aimed to stimulate users brain and soul. The design of users experience was the goal through the design of the path and the surrounding environment.

ABOUT ME INDEX ONLINE GRID
Science Ring is an expression for one of people behaviors when they need to communicate efficiently, learning/discussing specific topic and focusing on an object. The behavior appears in Muslims communities’ tradition as a way of learning in mosques when the mosque was presenting the first concept of schools and research centers. Science rings/ learning rings is the used expression through the history “still usable partially” in Islamic world and consider as an incubator of scientists and most efficient source for knowledge, decisions and different life aspects. In our proposal, we got inspired by the concept to achieve maximum communication between all science trends. The ring connect visually and functionally exhibitions, research centers and workshops in one loop for better communication and live conversation.

In the case of Al-Mualla, an interpretation of the concept of physical death will be naive. Because, this holy cemetery holds in its earth the remains of some of the greatest people who were defenders of humanistic values that humanity strives for now. This holy cemetery is crowned by the remains of our blessed mother Khadija. And holds the remains of the founders of the first Muslim society. So, given this site, we are dealing with a much more dangerous type of death; death of values and principles, death of a cultural movement. A death that’s been going around for a hundred years or so. Indeed this proposed design doesn’t try to capture an interpretation of death. On the contrary it tries to capture an interpretation of the inevitable life after death. And what better interpretation can one find than that of the Holy Quran.
THE GREAT MOSQUE OF MECCA “AL-MASJID AL-HARAM”

LIGHTING
The design try to give the meaning of this verse a visual form. And to be fair, half of the job was already done for us by the magnificent natural rock formation with its apparent lifelessness, which we chose to represent death. All we had to do next is crack it, and show some life springing out of it…and so, there was Llight and Green.
