Amira Abdel-Rahman

Project Description

• Upon completion of the first project of semester, and the conclusive understanding of your architect’s vocabulary, you are required to expand that knowledge to include the work of another architect. By working in teams of two, you will exchange the entire first research stage of your project and use this new research as your basis for design. In choosing your team member you must select someone working with an architect of a distinct vocabulary.

• Based on this you are required to design a small architect’s stand-alone one bedroom studio in an urban environment. The location chosen is on the Mokattam hills.

• The building should include: Studio space with all necessary office arrangements, bookshelves, work-space, etc…

Small living/dining space Kitchenette Storage 1 Bedroom 1 Full bathroom You can combine or separate any of these functions, according to your new architect’s vocabulary.
