Aya Abdallah AENG 351 housing project Missing the beauty of the cube

Concept: As we see around us how typical and traditional the housing projects are in our county, I started to

think about something different but it will serve the same needs and I will stick to the same cubic shape of our used buildings. I started to think about how

to find different uses to the cube and to discover the beauty of the cube. Then I found out that we can

use the cube by different shapes and with different arrangement. Then I thought about the function

and to relate it to the cube. Finally, I get up with the final design, which is two cubes, one bigger than the other, and connected by a cuboid which is the

vertical circulation representing in a duplex. In the ground floor, the large cube is for the public area and the small one is for the working area. In the

first floor, the large cube for the private area, and the small one is for the family gathering area.

Then I rotated each floor by a 30 degree and I used the negative spaces in garden terraces and flower boxes.
