Graduate thesis - 2019

Prosthetic Landscape Iraqi marshlands Hidden within the sands of the middle eastern desert, there lies a vast aging Petropolis, occupying territories in southern Iraq through the injection of infrastructure such as mechanical drills and mobile machinery. The “West Qurna” Petropolis oil field is situated in the southern part of the Iraqi marshlands. marshlands that once consisted of freshwater bodies were transformed into a desert landscape by the oil industry, through a series of terraformation projects for the past three decades. With the current oil production capacity in Iraq, the projected abundance of oil is expected to lead to the suspension of any oil extraction processes near 2050. The expulsion of the industry from the marshlands will render these oil terraformed strata obsolete and abandoned in the long run due to low maintenance and upkeep.

In reference to multiple instances in history where the Iraqi government failed to take responsibility of the state of affairs, this thesis proposes a scenario where the Marsh-Arabs (Me’daan) who were forced to abandon the marshes will be reclaiming land ownership from the private industry by squatting. The flexible nature of their resettlement will introduce new tools for inhabitation, by repurposing oil drills and mechanical equipment into construction tools that could mould silt terrains into a hybrid landscape, adjusted and manipulated to be adaptable over multiple scenarios.

Rail deck park Walled garden On the southern edge of a city of Toronto, engulfed by sharp edges of high-rise structures, in between two main transportation arteries (Spadina and Bathurst) lies the walled garden. A public space struggling to keep its neutrality in between the enormous volume of the concrete jungle surrounding it. The garden is surrounded by a multi-level wall, made through stacked levels of brick arches forming an aqueduct,facilitating movement f people from the “Sky Dome” connecting it to the “Fort York National Park” through a direct pathway alongside the garden. Which gives the garden another layer of utility, controlling the flow of people into it, and acting as a continues bridge at the same time This aqueduct surrounding the garden, acts as an intermediate scale element in between the excess of high-rise concrete and steel and the small scale of greenery at the lower level. Shielding the trees and the people from the direct contact with the adjacent high-rise..

The park resembles a high-rise open space that is flipped on its side. a horizontal void of open space, which is accessible for the public. A space that can’t be locked at night, and can’t be gated as it is a utility movement hub and a connection point across the two sides of the rail. In contrast with the surrounding spaces of private condominium. This open space is a semi-public space, that was born in the excess space between two high-rise blocks, and the busy existing train tracks under the park. What seemed to be an inaccessible space would turn into a space that preserves its original form as an invisible part of the city, but this time it would be accessible from any side of streets surroundings. This excess space that used to be hidden and overlooked as an ugly part of the city, serving only trains, is now a veiled park maintaining its position as invisible. The experience of the people driving inside this space, will be swift and abrupt. Unlike people who are walking into the brick intermediate space to enter the park. Cars entrance will be experienced through two arches, acting as a tunnel inside the park. The interior space of that tunnel will be a picturesque wonderland of greenery inside the city. The experience of being in a car will provide a different feel of awe and curiosity, that invites people passing through to inspect this hidden garden in between massive high-rise blocks

In-Out dimension Sufi cultural center The sufi center is a space in the city of Cambridge, Ontario that functions as shell space to host various activities and different groups of people under one roof. a concept of tolerance that was introduced by sufism as a tool to create an inclusive society that defines deity and religious belief in a scale of the “person” and share the idea of finding the right path with society, encouraging mysticism and meditation as a tool to produce a personal understanding of the world. The sufi school of thought aims to provide multiple experiential spaces to shelter people, increase awareness through physical experience and using the sky as a guide to achieve personal awareness

CSC Headquarters & Winter Garden Professional Practice course Our interpretation of the CSC headquarters rebrands the profession of specification writing by rendering the institution as a hub central to design, collaboration, and creative use of specifications. The interior design of the office space celebrates the ever-changing, archival, and collaborative aspects of specifications. It was our design intent to maintain the heritage brick shell of the 48 Ontario building while completely renovating the interior. Like in a library, the interior offer substantial storage and display furnishings which facilitate the access and sorting of specification binders, catalogs, trade publications, and other technical literature. Our addition to the existing building stands as a separate structure that creates a tasteful contrast to the 20th century building. It borrows from the existing materiality and presents a contemporary interpretation by introducing black brick. The volume is a winter garden that complements and enriches the office program of the CSC headquarters. This open public space is a warm, well-lit refuge with a seasonal pavilion which showcases innovation and creativity in the use of materials and their specifications. The roof of the winter garden is a light steel sawtooth structure cladded with lightweight polycarbonate sheets. Suspended from this structure is a suspended mezzanine which houses a material library which will greatly profit from the natural light of space.

University Project - 2018

Wax Lamp Material exploration This project was an experiment in controlling wax as a tool for lighting and measuring time, using the material properties to manufacture a lamp that can contain wax, recycle it through a process of subtraction (melting) and deposition (rotation). Using the flexible nature of wax producing a malleable lamp that can be a tool to measure time, and illuminate the table attached to it through a steel connection which eliminates the need for electricity cords, and producing an enigmatic object that can be used as a utility as well as an art piece in space. Bringing back the mystic aesthetic of candles being used as an object to tell time and illuminate space, and as a toy for kids and adults as well.

JIG Clay brick forming A device that does both functions (holding the work and guiding a tool) is called a jig. Jig’s primary purpose is to provide repeatability, accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products, keeping the individuality of each piece. Jig provides a unique screen system that has the ability to be stacked / interlocked providing both stability and permeability to the system. Jig has the capacity to be arranged in different forms to suit the space by relying on each other for support. This autonomous character makes jig a perfect standard for testing clay printed systems.

Mr. Humfreez Hygroscopic sensor Mr Humfreez is a project that was done through the work with hygroscopic sensors, manufactured to react with the 65% relative humidity and a heat sensor that reacts to 18°C. Working with ANZ (Australia and New Zealand Banking Group) to produce a set of objects that can be available at home to alert kiwis about their home climate conditions and to be a useful tool for learning that can be friendly to kids and families. “Mr Humfreez goes blue in the face when the temperature dips below the healthy level of 18°C.” “To prevent mould growth, the amount of moisture in your home (relative humidity) should ideally be below 65% most of the time. This is why Mr Humfreez warns you by uncurling his horns when the moisture in the air exceeds 65%”

Flaloons Nuit Blanche proposal Flolloons is a project that alternates between individual experience and collective organization. Cell phones have become ubiquitous in our lives; despite them being tools of communication, we often isolate ourselves within them. Flolloons invites users to engage this integral device as a key to access an analog collective. This project reminds the user “You are here,” whereby during their interaction they produce a visible change on the beacon, signaling to all those around to come join, to be a part of something larger. This installation consists of two sections, the podium and the beacon: The podium is a 4-metre diameter circular counter with 30 rectangular ‘interfaces.’ Each interface is a slot where the users are invited to activate their phone’s flashlights and insert their device into the cavity. The light from each engaged device is captured by a bundle of fiber optic filaments and taken to the second component of the installation, the beacon. The beacon is where the individual inputs are merged into the collective. Each interface’s fiber optic bundle is distributed among a floating mass of helium balloons. As more people join the podium, the beacon becomes increasingly brighter, turning into a mosaic of individual inputs that can be visible to others from a distance. As more people join the interface table, the balloon beacon will progressively glow brighter. This installation forms an allegory for the city, in which all individuals are equal collaborators in its progress and identity. The illuminated beacon symbolizes the creation of a collaborative network, it is an interactive joyful experience highlighting cooperation among Torontonians.

Workshop project - 2014

Desert urbanism Architecture Association Visiting School - Jordan The Jordanian desert ecology is a distinct antiquity, a magnificent heterogeneous landscape that is emergent of fluid erosion processes which have occurred over more than fifty million years. The biodiversity of the desert reveals a vast platform for research into natural artifacts. The ambition of the programme is to re-think existing architectural design methodologies and exploit the potential of cutting-edge design technology which is driven from a design-research perspective towards natural phenomenon. The programme will investigate natural phenomena which include sand dunes, rock strata, rock bridges, canyon, gorge and mountain formations. Two UNESCO world heritage sites will be investigated and inhabited throughout the process: Wadi Rum and Petra; the later named as one of the worlds seven wonders. As part of the agenda, the morphology of the desert and its underlying principles and processes will be investigated within a computational context; working towards the development of algorithmically generated topologies. A number of technologies will be utilized to produce architectural outcomes at a range of scales, from the architectural element, to the architectural space, to the urban architectural context. The workshop was supervised by UTO and CODE-IT teams (rhino and grasshopper programmers) putting new Urban design methods into practice in the Jordanian desert. Member of UTO team, collaborating with / Rida Qurashi, Nick Tyrer, Muneerah Al-Rabe. my role was dealing with conceptual Distribution of units and contributing to the design strategies.
