PHSCHOGRAM DEVELOPMENT

RAMALLAH SHOPPING MALL

The task was to design a shopping mall in Al-Ersal street in Ramallah. The site is an infill site having two accesses only. The concept of the design came from pshychogram analysis, exploring different images of visionary and floated projects, because I wanted to free our mind from the idea of ordinary infill buildings, and give Ramallah a new hi tech image by exposing the structure of the building and dealing with it, as infinite scaffolding structure that will hold the project forever, to be floated in the sky and free from restrictions.

The task was to choose a hero that is related and resemble your personality as an architect, I choose the Ambassador to the stars Fairouz , whom is a Lebanese singer that is among the most widely admired and deeply respected living singers in the Arab world. Fairouz sings for the public and everyday life event, in order that I wanted to revive Fairouz spirit and songs through Ramallah landscape that is connected with a light Telfrek in four different locations, these locations have daily problematic traffic jam and this project can be a friendly solution for this phenomenon beside enjoying the panoramic views of Ramallah city. Each location has a folly ( station point) for loading and ascending and these follies are simple elevated structure to preserve the sites contextual environment .

The task was to design a culinary school that combines field work with learning and practice, we choose Aloja since it is an agricultural land in the Jordan valley that lacks of agricultural developments, because of Israeli oppression of land. When we visited the site we found that the site is used as a green house for planting aromatic herbs, in order that we decided to preserve the heritage of this agriculture land and elevate the building above the ground, and let the students and the visitor enjoy this experience using the path of senses that articulate the interior of the space of the school by dividing the culinary labs based on senses . Also, the school will be a community space for Al -oja people to revive the social life there, having local and international cuisines and a theater for there activities. THIS PROJECT IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH : ALA’ SHWEIKi

Erez Checkpoint is a good example of this type of architecture. It was chosen in our advanced design project after analyzing it’s case, which is located on Gaza Strip border .And, it is considered as the only access point to Occupied Palestine from Gaza Strip side. Erez is full of experiences for many people that touch their feelings and immortalize in their memories. As workers had to live there seeking for jobs on the other side, and patients waited there for medical care in West Bank. In order to understand the physical situation of Erez, we interviewed several users of Erez checkpoint, listened to their stories and drew mental maps for their experience and suffering, as to understand the events that occurred through this checkpoint. THE ANALYTICAL PHASE WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: ALA’, ZEINAH, HANAN, DUA’A.

EVENT ANALYSIS

EREZ DISCHARGE

ONE OF THE MAIN IMPLEMENTATION OF ISRAEL OCCUPATION ARCHITECTURE IS CHECKPOINTS, USED AS A TOOL OF CONTROL AND OPPRESSION.


PROFENATION THE IDEA OF EREZ

PHYSICAL ANALYSIS


From the physical Analysis and the understanding of Gaza people needs, we proposed a discharge project for their suffer and lack of entertainment in Gaza, this discharge will profane the idea of Erez Checkpoint. Erez Discharge will eliminate the despair of Gaza people by containing legal and illegal entertaining functions.

Due that my concept of discharge will be bounded with a huge structure that blacks out the image of entertainment,since Erez Checkpoint is a secured restricted area allowed for few people to access, and this will be unforgotten in my project. The hypothetical fantasy will be the core concept of my project connecting the hyper reality and reality worlds in Erez discharge,and that was linked with the instant city (Archigram) concept . In order that the entertainment will be buried in the ground to surprise the visitor, and the movement will be controlled and restricted, also the functions will be categorized depending on their response to speed and rhythm .

CONCEPTUAL ANAYSIS

CONVERSELY,ENTERTAINMENT IN GAZA IS LIMITED, PRIVATIZED AND RESTRICTED .

The glowing box 2*2*2 m,a comfort zone for students in BZU architectural studios, the task was to design a tent inspired from the underwater world. When we searched about this amazing world we were interested in the color, texture, pattern, light refraction, and sound calmness, studying and analyzing coral reefs as one component of this imaginary life . In order to express the idea we used more than 1000 inflatable bag that are translucent in color and have a star like shape,to give the texture and pattern of the coral reefs .and we used warm led light to show the effect of light refractions, also we build 2 layers of bags to separate you from the studio environment and that helped in calming the sound . THIS PROJECT WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: ALA’ SHWEIKI & ZAINAH QADAMANI

The main objective of the project is to introduce a new vision for Gaza port as a gateway and access point for Palestine, as to revitalize the seaport to be a social, public and recreational space for Palestinians. THIS PROJECT IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH : ALA’ SHWEIKI

CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS

So, as to establish a new water front for Gaza since the gateway of Gaza is presently inhabitant with small fishermen’s boats. However, a free gateway for Palestine will not only connect Gaza to the world, but will also reinforce tourism, fishing and transportation in Gaza particularly and in Palestine as a whole. Thus, opening doors of investment, increasing the employment rates in Palestine and creating a social public space for the Gazan community itself (Al-Madhoun, 2007; Palestine Today, 2014).

SITE ANALYSIS

THE REVIVAL OF GAZA SEAPORT

THIS PROJECT AIMS TO REVIVE THE SMALL PORT OF GAZA THAT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF GAZA CITY WEST OF AL-RIMAL NEIGHBORHOOD.


Eventually, the project will concern about the human scale in the architectural design, improving the environmental issues in the site as the problem of sand erosion and the lack of green structures.

CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES

EVENT ANALYSIS

Gaza seaport project will be designed in hypothesis that Palestine will be free. The complex will include transportation, cultural and fishing spaces. The expansion of the seaport project must be toward the sea since Gaza city doesn’t bear any future urban expansion.Urban wise, It will link back the city center with it’s waterfront and surrounding.
