THE VILLAGE MIX USE PROJECT | 2019 | AL DAIR, BAHRAIN | STATUS: CONSTRUCTION BUILDING TYPE: COMMERCIAL & RECREATIONAL. OFFICE: EMAAR ENGINEERING
THE VILLAGE
COMPONENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Village is a mix use project in The Kingdom of Bahrain, it was developed by Bin Hejres Real Estate Development & designed by Emaar Architects + Engineers. The Project consists of a public park with a variety of activities such as jogging and cycling tracks, football fields, food trucks, kiosks, outdoor gym and children playground, the other half of the project is a strip mall with more than 50 retail shops. The project reflects the image of an aesthetically pleasing country side vibe designed with a contemporary twist. The role handed to me along side architectural design was to lead client meetings, represent client on site, follow up municipal submissions, landscaping, lightscaping & facade design, interlock patterns design, graphic design and marketing assistance, procurement, site progress follow up,final finishes and decoration, signage design and leasing team assistance. The project has a plot area of more than 15,000 square meters and a built-up area of more than 6,000 square meters.

VILLA FARNESINA The historian in me always yearns for the stories of the past, in architecture, we are blessed to have these structures that are frozen in time and act as a window that from which we can peak and contemplate at those moments of the past.

INSTITUTE OF PRACTICAL SKILLS GRADUATION PROJECT | 2019 | MAHOOZ, BAHRAIN BUILDING TYPE: EDUCATIONAL INSTRUCTOR: ARCH SUSANA SARAIVA
INSTITUTE OF PRACTICAL SKILLS PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Institute is a complementary educational facility that covers the weaknesses of public education. It provides the grounds for a holistic learning experience with project-based learning through which multiple courses are taught. Courses vary from robotics, engineering principles and renewable energy, coding and video games, as well as design and 3d printing applications. Along this is also strengthening lessons in computer literacy and English. The core intent is to allow student from ages 14-19 to use theoretical knowledge taught in schools and their own interests to tackle real life problems from their community and around the world with practical oriented projects. Moreover, the institute would harbour occasional external speakers to provide new skills, lectures and showcase new technologies all while sustaining public interest.

MULTI-FAITH CENTER DESIGN IV | 2017| TANAFF, SENEGAL BUILDING TYPE: RELIGIOUS/COMMUNAL INSTRUCTOR: DR LAYLA KARAJICA
MULTI-FAITH CENTER
COMPONENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION | PHASE 1: GROUP WORK Enter the village of Tanaf in Senegal, a disadvantaged area full of hopeful people. The site is located in the heart of the village overlooking its main axis. This spiritual project is set to be the meeting point for all the Senegalese people regardless of ethnicity or faith. The conceptual approach looks at the elements that are sacred and significant to the locals. These elements include the indoor praying spaces, the nature-oriented rituals of the Animists (local religion) and the sacred Baobab tree. We juxtaposed them in adjacency, subtly forcing the paths of the users to intersect. This stems out our belief that this where bonds between people are created. Then we turned these spaces to their most simple and humble forms. Physically articulated their presence and augmented the similarities that the locals share and disregarded the differences. With the insertion of symbols that are neutral yet mutually spiritual for all. Standing in the place of a minaret or a church tower is a physical and functional embodiment of the baobab tree. The consideration of light as a material in these spaces helped us create spatial poetry. This effect is accentuated by the presence of the element of purity by the collection of rainwater. The transparent process safely integrates rainwater into spaces and offers different temporal experiences in different times of the year. Now the Scene is set for the earthly and the divine to communicate.

PHASE 2: INDIVIDUAL WORK The second phase of this design project involved taking the project’s final form and modifying the external skin and elements into a more of a contemporary style with new materials. The plan stayed the same. The dome was replaced with a number of lenses (skylights). These skylights give the building a temporal effect on its surroundings, casting an interesting shadow inside during the day and glowing like a beacon at night. The Tower was also replaced with an intricate bamboo rain catcher.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESIGN V | 2018 | ISA TOWN, BAHRAIN BUILDING TYPE: HOUSING INSTRUCTOR: ARCH SUSANA SARAIVA
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PLATFORM FLOOR (+1.5 M)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The premise and goal of this design studio was to propose a housing development that covers high density vertical living, the sense of community, context awareness, affordability and above all a solution that would attract young bahraini families to apartment living. The existing site is an old housing project with terrible living conditions. The solution proposed here started from the macro scale to understand the context, then progressively moved to the scale of the individual unit. From the bigger scale the sense of the horizontal individual communities (houses sharing an open space) is flipped to be a set of vertical small communities that are linked visually and physically to each other in the bigger picture. The individual units were designed with stacking and interlocking as the overall intent of the form and how they interact with one another.
CONCEPTUAL APPROACH DIAGRAMS
1.MAXIMIZING THE SURFACE AREA EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT
3.PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SURROUNDING URBAN CONTEXT AND ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS
2.DIVIDING THE MASS INTO THREE ZONES CREATING PUBLIC AREAS WITH CLEAR LAYERING OF PRIVACY
4.SLICING VOIDS IN THE BUILDING TO INCREASE PERMEABILITY

DAYLIGHT SIMULATIONS In this exercise, a space’s daylighting potential is checked using VELUX. The window sizes, orientation, surface properties all come into play to determine whether a space or a design is optimizing its usage of sunlight. The usage of sunlight significantly enhances the quality of the space and improves the energy use.
