In this letter, I hereby wish to state my interest in Computational Design and Design Field in terms of Architecture and Art.

That workshop was the turning point in my architectural journey, where I started to realize the relation between Architecture and the digital tools. And how it could be applied in terms of design and construction.

PROJECT BREIF Methodologically it will imply questioning concepts such as zone, scale, typology and program which will evolve into high resolution bio-computational drawings of Barcelona’s future WetWare, its networks of ecological intelligence. Modelling minimal networks both digitally and biologically. Digital networks will be computed algorithmically by connecting soft or "wet" areas with hard or "built" areas in Barcelona. Such networks will be made to re-describe the existing road network of the city..

MERGED MAP By merging all the layers ( the extracted layers ) we’ll be able to see the shiffted path and how it's branching inside the uninhabited region of the city. the shiftted path has been created by linking each block with the closest green space within the actual road network of this area. The map describes a new intervention of the architectural maps which shows the relation between the built-up space with the surroundings and it's context.

Digital Fabrication Phase One / Phase Two
CRASH COURSE / PHASE ONE CONTEXT Digital Fabrication is an introductory course on new production techniques through the relation between computer data and machine oriented fabrication. During the initial ٣ week course different manufacturing approaches were explored. Each team will produce ٣ spheres using each of the ٣ digital fabrication technologies available at Iaac: Laser cuting, CNC milling and ٣d-printing. All spheres have to integrate a hole (min ٥٠mm diameter) and a flat surface (min ٦٠mm diameter) . Each machines and material have their own sets of constraints and potentials that lead to different strategies from design to fabrication.

PHASE TWO PERFORMATIVE GEOMETRIES GUIDING & CONCEPT OF DESIGN The idea is to establish the structural stability through deformation of force lines caused by the voids at specific locations in the module. The common framework of the three exercises is the task of developing modular elements that are going to be cast, stacked and assembled at the scale of a ١:١ wall to be situated in the ground floor of IAAC.

THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ENHANCING THE LEARNING EXPERINCE
The concept was to creat a building that has no boundaries, no limits and creating a museum walk through that has no end. The experince of circulating around the void inside the building will creat that walk through A museum walk through is a new way of learning, it allows the visitor to experince the building just by circulating around the void, and the student would be always exposed to art inside that building Visual communication between the different levels of the
ELLIPTICAL ILLUSION
It’s an elliptical artisitic elements that symbolizes art. It’s consist of four elliptical shapes with different scales, it’s suspended in the center of the void and alligned with each studio level. Each shape is suspended and controled with a rail from the skylight structure which allows the shapes to revolve around each studio level in a wavy movenment in order to illostrate the function.

parametric facade system Computational Design Assignment One
DECODING ONE OCEAN PAVILION FACADE SYSTEM CONTEXT
The main task of this exercise is to decode the logic of complex facade systems, analyzing and defining the computational process behind them. With this logic thought out students will propose several configurations that reflect the parametrization of the building skin. This exercise aims to train students in setting up a proper computational strategy, approaching the complex design proposals of such facades through a series of simple steps.

ANIMATION SYSTEM - SERPANTINE PAVILION CONTEXT The main task of this exercise is to create a dynamic animation of the selected pavilion. The purpose of the animation is to visualize the form ďŹ nding process through a series of sequences underlining its design logic and performance. Camera control movement and data visualization should be included in the animation as a numerical description of any change generated.

CONTEXT The project was to create a structure that can be placed on IAAC’s rooftop. this structure should be done by applying different forces from Kangaroo. And the structure should adabt to it’s surroundings and the nature of the space. The concept was to create a structure that adabt to the users that are going inside it by increasing the numbers of anchors that deform the shape of that structure.

RECURSIVE GROWTH
https://youtu.be/dGEarUN٤xAg
PROJECT BREIF The concept was to create a shading structure based on the growth system. As we all know, Barcelona German pavilion (Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion) was known for it’s simple and minimal design. And one of the main concepts of the Barcelona Pavilion was the transperancy and the long plain glass panels that cover the pavilion. From that point, the instalation is covering the main entrance of the pavilion and the branching system helped in maintaining the idea of the transperancy by covering the top part of the pavilion as a shading system

WORKSHOP VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=٤LxXNi١jGO٤&t=٦s
PROCESS OF BIO-SINGULARITY By using the irregular pattern of a tree truck slice for our first profile, we were able to extract the logics of the organic form to further accentuate them in our second profile. However more systematically, our second asymmetric profile follows a pattern rotation of ١٥ degrees, with more symmetrical curves similar to that of the first profile. Beginning with straight rails to guide our first profile, we developed custom rails to create a twisting motion, similar to natural tree growth. We used the custom rails for our second and third profiles. Following the theme of asymmetry, the third profile follows a rotation logic which matches the chosen Lbranching system. Quadrants are dissected into ٢ ,١, and ٤ segments with sharper curves to appear less organic or ‘man-made.’ Applying the twisting motion of our custom rails, the third profile generated a sharp, glitch-like aesthetic, accentuating the man-made concept Bifurcation

BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW REUSING FAIROUZ HOUSE
Zokak el Blat is currently divided in two spaces: the Patriarchate and SĂŠrail. This division is underlined by the opposition between the private and public urbanism. Zokak el Blat is located south of downtown Beirut a zone that has suffered the consequences of war. Fouad Chehab Avenue divides it into The North side / The South one, Each side, although belonging to the same city, has its own development dynamics. As Zokak el-Blat is characterized by the schools and cultural centers, as well as by the places where writers used to live or meet, the quarter could be a key site for the organization of such an event. Famous Lebanese poets, writers or journalists played a pioneer role in the cultural and educational growth of the area in Zokak el-Blat during the 19th century:

BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW Fayrouz: “ the pst is still present, from time to time a memory comes and bring us back to it”. Based on Fairouz’s interview, the memories never die, all the memory keeps coming back in based on the user experience and the way the place is being used. So the concept was to create a tour inside the house where the memory keeps coming back in. the design museum should be based on the way that Fayrouz was living and experiencing inside that house

BUSINESS COMPLEX DESIGN CONCEPT
The building was located in a high density built up space where the building code requires to build a high rise no gaps buildings with no open spaces for the people to gather. the design was based on the pedestrian movement and the flow of people in the given site. the commercial part of the project is located on the lower floor where people can enjoy the open space. and the hotel is oriented to the other street where it has more privacy. the hotel consist of ٢٧ floors, the typical floor plan has ٢ double rooms and ١٨ single rooms each.

KUKA MILLING One of the main goals of the COF workshop was to create a self-standing structure. Modular system bricks with a geometry that can hold and support the layers above. and one of the main design aspects was the shadow and how the geometry will react with light. Double-sided molds were designed and then with the help of Sprutcam we were able to simulate and mill the molds with KUKA.
