The Courtyard Medium Digital and Physical Model Course Studio I Professor Robert Reid Collaboration with Maryam Korchi Objective Investigating the conceptual approach in designing, assuring that every move follows the guidelines resulting from an initial concept. Also, determining hierarchy within a space and manipulating natural and artificial light using different materials. Approach We have chosen to design the existing courtyard located on campus according to the existing elements surrounding it, in order to create a literal connection to what happens in the courtyard and its surrounding. In addition to that, people’s circulation has been analyzed and new circulation and guiding paths have been redesigned for ease of access. Moreover, the existing lighting condition played a major role in creating canopy condition to provide shade while highlight certain features.

The Wall | Inhabitation Medium Digital and 3D Rendering Software Course Studio II Professor Mariah Mortera Objective This project consists of two phases, first phase deals with designing a brick wall that embodies certain moves such as push, pull and rotation. This is further used in the second phase to create an inhabitation for a bathing space. The overall experience of the bathing space is mainly enhanced by the qualities of brick and the rotational move used in the brick wall to admit light into the space. Approach The design of the wall primarily uses rotation as the main feature in order to manipulate light within the space. At the same time, the honesty to the traditional brick wall is maintained by starting simple and uniform and gradually introducing the rotational movements. In addition to that, the bathing space is designed accordingly to respond to the light manipulation achieved by the brick wall. The bathing space is situated towards the end of the space, in order to receive the most of natural sunlight achieved by the voids in the brick wall and the opening in the roof condition.

1:1 Scale Brick Wall Medium Course Professor
Physical Construction Design Week George Newlands
Objective This project focused on building a 1:1 scale construction of a brick wall that has been designed by an Architecture student Yasmin Hamad in the American University of Sharjah. A group of 20 Architecture and Interior Design Students were assigned to build the brick wall. The wall was built by students and supervised by a professor from the concrete base foundation to the height of 1.3 meters in a duration of 1 week.

The Courtyard House Medium Digital and 3D Rendering Software Course Studio II Professor Mariah Mortera Objective In this project, a courtyard had to be the main part of the design proposal. The experience within the space is a combination of a work/live atmosphere designed for an Interior Designer who loves to exhibit her work. This project is divided into two different parts that are combined while separated in the feeling conveyed and activities taken place. It’s the public and private that are combined to accommodate the live/work condition in the same space. Approach The courtyard designed in the space plays a big role in the overall experience. It is the heart of the space as all activities taken place have views facing the courtyard. As you progress into the space, we move from the most public to the most private space. This transition from public to private is achieved by the use of color and the ceiling condition. The further you get into the space the flooring and ceiling wood color gets darker and the distance between the ceiling wood planks gets closer in order to obtain a more cozy and intimate feeling to the private part of the space. The site embodied traditional intimate alleys; therefore the overall idea is to create a relationship with the exterior and interior condition in order to achieve the same intimacy in the interior space.

The Gallery Space Medium Digital and Physical Model Course Studio III Professor Juan Roldan Collaboration with Albert Kolambel Hafsa Tameez Objective In this project, we mainly used the ceiling plane as the primary means to manipulate light into the interior. Certain lighting effects were used to accommodate different exhibit types for different purposes. Approach A gallery space would require different lighting conditions in order to obtain different lighting experiences throughout the space. Therefore, light was manipulated in our space by using a number of filters to admit light through the various skylights placed on the ceiling plane. The skylights were of different sizes placed according to the true north of the existing condition. The filters varied from translucent to transparent; skylights were opened and closed in order to create different lighting experiences in response to the exhibit type.

Parasite | Multi-Functional Activity Space Medium Digital Course Studio III Professor Juan Roldan Objective In this project , a parasite has been designed to accommodate several activities that occur in the same place at different times in the day. The program of this space is a gym/ activity space; the activities include aerobics, kickboxing , zumba, yoga, gymnastic , socializing and etc. The place transforms from one activity to another using a magnetic partition. Approach Transformation has been the main element that has been focused on in this project. It is an essential tool in order to accommodate several activities in one place. Therefore, I have designed a floating magnetic partition that levitates and moves through the space. The design of the partition has been achieved using magnets and superconductors. The partition opens and closes according to three different layouts that occur in the morning , afternoon and evening. The magnetic partition gives a high degree of flexibility to the system in which standard partitions cannot achieve. The Parasite is cantilevered to the main plaza of the existing site, in order to integrate and interact with the existing condition. The colors chosen for the partitions have been taken from the existing colors in the surrounding of the site in order to camouflage with the exterior condition.

American AirStreamer Medium Digital Course Studio IV Professor Maria Mortera Objective A Renovation of an American Airstreamer is assigned for this project. The Renovation is based on the client and their required zones and activities in the space. The client for this project is a two band twin brother and sister that play the Violin , Banjo and Harmonica. Therefore, It should be taken into consideration the appropriate type of space suitable for such client. Approach The main concern in this project was the lack of space and the required space for two people. The space has to be as compact as possible in order to accommodate the activities needed and the living/working environment suitable for the siblings. Hidden storages and foldable furniture have been used to maintain their needs while to save up on the existing space. In addition to that , the use of materiality was primarily used to convey a sense of coziness and comfort. The combination of wood planks and steel finish conveyed modernity of steel and traditional wood planks in a contemporary way. The grain of the wood planks are in the longitudinal direction of the airstremer, in order to convey continuity and motion in response to the moving trailer.
