Project brief
A furniture piece designed to solve a functional problem and enhance our daily routine. Highlighting psychological and functional aspects,targeting elderly ,youth and anyone who wants to preserve the heritage of hospitality and enjoy their hot drinks
Problem identification fi statics s
It’s believed that 3 out of 4 regular caffeine consumers are actually addicted to the substance. A lot of people would spill their coffee or any other hot beverage once it gets cold,so it goes to waste,but if they had a quick way to reheat their drinks again they wouldn’t spill it,which is beneficial on the economical side coffee
Living in a such a rapid lifestyle,keeping your coffee hot is a constant struggle and having to reheat it every time is disturbing and time consuming when you are trying to enjoy your gatherings with friends or just alone reading books or watching TV

A lot of elderly and ADA people like coffee hot but it’d be hard for them to head to the kitchen to reheat or remake their coffee or ask someone to do any of that,it would be a lot easier if they had the tools they need on their coffee tables without having to ask for help all the time

Triple,a mix of three functions and a transition in hospitality with a contemporary design Inspired by the Saudi tradition using materials of the Dallah which is the symbol of their remarkable heritage, merged with a hotplate to keep coffee hot and ready to serve all the time
The three functions this table provides are a hotplate to keep all hot drinks warm,a storage to store everything you need for serving or making coffee reachable and a piece of furniture that will enhance the functionality of your space

/2 Renewable Oasis House DESIGNING FOR HARSH WEATHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT implying sustainable strategies and passive design techniques to make life possible
Project brief A sustainable vacation house located in Colorado, California Designed using different kinds of renewable energies and strategies to accommodate the harsh environment of the desert,taking advantage of all the surroundings
Concept A stimulation of the oasis environment surrounding the house with water surfaces as a cooling element and placing suitable plants in the right orientation to provide a dust-free air and enhance the living environment
Consideration 1-Orintation and shading 2-Heat Gain 3-Proportions And Colors 4-Ventalation
Environmentalďżź technologies Developed in this project
1-Geo-Thermal Exchange: a system relies on the renewable energy of the earth just below the surface for its high efficiency. A water solution flowing through piping buried in the ground absorbs heat from the ground in the winter and transfers it to the GeoExchange system inside the building. Also,the heat is concentrated and transferred to air circulating through the interior ducts to provide warmth in the harshest winter days,in summer the process is reversed. The system extracts heat from the interior air and transfers it to the ground by way of ground loop piping
2-Aeroponic Growing System: The VAP System is a modern method of cultivation particularly suited to desert areas and island communities where land and fresh water is limited Its a vertical planting system based on the possibility of cultivating vegetables whose roots are not inserted in a substratum or soil, but in containers filled with flowing plant nutrition. In these containers roots can find the best condition regarding oxygenation and moisture. With consequential faster development of the cultivated plants. Perfect for limited water consumption,with only 10% required water than normal greenhouses. This system has had commercial success in desert areas such as Saudi- Arabia
Infinity Pool And Water Surfaces Provide colder,dust-free,moist air

Project Goal Creating a typography poster that focuses on choosing the right typeface to deliver the massage by mixing different sizes and proportions in different fonts
About the quote ”Follow your dreams,others are lost“, A quote referring to being focused on your dreams and goals rather than being distracted by other things that don’t feed your intellect or take you where you wanna be in the future
Consideration 1-Readability 2-Eye Flow 3-Proportions 4-Rythem
Design Process Trying different typefaces in different sizes to find the suitable and the most successful typeface that delivers the message
Final Proposal After choosing the suitable typefaces and getting the right proportions,now,choosing colours and the background to play the role of supporting the message of this quote and present it in an exciting way
Text overlapping to create visual interest and more continues, connected form
To define the word “Lost� in typography,we choose Serif typeface since its complicated and hard to read
Dream,written in the biggest font to be what a person would first notice using san-serif and a curvy typeface to be visually light and graceful
And There’s always room for improvement Thank you
