00.Introduction and Content Considering every project as a unique one with different issues and challenges, I don't have a specific theme or a way of thinking, Instead, I try to focus on studying the nature of the project in term of location and program, which eventually guide me to the final output, whatever the methodologies used at the end the project would form itself. However, I try to focus on the intimate user experience and the impact of the building on the surrounding context.

The site and surrounding context: It was important to take advantage of the potentials of the surrounding context as well as improving it. After studying the site, the core and the structural shear walls were positioned along the sides which face the 2 neighbors. This will provide a better panoramic view for all the offices to the public park and the street, Also the core will act as a thermal mass reducing the heat gain from the west.
The task of this project was to design a speculative office building at a specific location in Khartoum city. It was important to take into account the site challenges and potentials. The site is located in Khartoum city within a commercial zone. The total area of the site is 600 m2 and it is facing to roads, main road (24 m) from the East and sub-road (8 m) from the Southwest. From the Western side, there is a low rise office building and to the North of the site, there is a low rise commercial building. It is important to note that there is a mixed-use complex with a public park (mall and offices) located to the East of the site. One of the site requirements was to provide parking for 15 cars in the basement.

Core positioning, Source: Author
After studying and observing the public park of Al Waha mall, I have noticed that there is a lack in the activities especially at night and the park became empty. To tackle this problem a giant LED screen curtain was added to broadcast media ( such as football matches ). This would enrich the nightlife of the area. Also LED fiber optic glass blocks were added to create a more vibrant and interactive facade. Program: I have noticed that breaks between working hours considered to be very important because it is an opportunity for employees to meet and socialize during breakfast or coffee breaks. Semi-closed green terraces were added, which represent a meeting and socializing points. These terraces are connected with the multi-tenant corridor to be accessed easily.

i- Introduction The task of this project was to design a textile factory with multiple sectors (spinning, weaving, and finishing). Each section could act as a separate factory and produce yarn, fabric, or printed and finished fabric. The main challenge was to respect the production flow. Also, it was important to create a building that represents manufacturing to become a national icon that helps to revive the textile industry in Sudan, an industry that has been forgotten.

iv-Zoning The main focus was the buildings that have a direct relation with manufacturing such as production halls and warehouses. All other buildings (services) are considered marginal (with no philosophical importance), and they were named neutral buildings.

Complex position
The building reflects meanings & relations in manufacturing. Complexity and simplicity should not be just a matter of form but it should contribute to the construction. The Abstraction of the design philosophy might allow everyone to have their image while maintaining the main idea, which is the basic source. There is no absolute meaning & there are endless perceptions.

The site is located in Kosti, White Nile state, Sudan. Kosti is the largest city in the state and contains the largest river port in Sudan where traffic of people and goods between Sudan and South Sudan glides through, and it is a major center for the cultivation & manufacturing of sugar in Africa and an important center for cotton trade in Sudan. The site is located near the production areas of cotton and there is a railway station linking the West and the East of Sudan. The factory would also be able to provide Kosti weaving factories with yarn.

The reason why staff facilities are located outside the manufacturing halls in a separate building is to give the workers a chance to go outside and enjoy the sun and to meet other staff from different sectors. Staff facilities are located at the center of the site to provide uniform distance from all the manufacturing halls and warehouses, but does justice means equality?. The distances from staff facilities building vary depending on; the location of other buildings so for workers who need to walk for longer distances, a bridge has been provided, which ends up with vertical circulation units, these units act as meeting and socializing points.

03.Faculty of Fine Arts -U of K Course name: Final Thesis Studio / Academic project - Individual Work 5th year (2nd semester), Sep 2017 / Supervisor: Ph.D. Abubaker Hussin Email: ahmerghani@gmail.com i- Introduction This project is an attempt to re-formulate arts education and meanings in a building that hosts and reflects the University of Khartoum School of Fine Arts and provide an innovative learning environment for the students. to become a national landmark.
iii- Concept The concept took shape after studying the situations that the project takes place in, and it consists of four categories (subject, context, affiliation, and future changes).
First: Subject Category : Improving and reformulating art education and it's meaning’s manifestation. 1-The connection between arts (different Disciplines) and nature: The building takes its shape as one unite rather than scattered elements and there is overlapping between open and closed spaces to maximize the view to the Nile and improve the relationship between different disciplines. Also, the connection was achieved by using transparent materials, which strengthen the concept of unlimitedness. The helix was considered as the basic shape of the building taking advantage of its movement.
ii- Site Location & Analysis The site is located at Nile Street, Khartoum, Sudan. Khartoum Nile street area was an agricultural land and since the establishment of Nile street, it became one of the most important social places in Sudan, due to its strong connection with the river Nile, which has great natural value and cool weather. It became a meeting point that all the Capital residents visit for socializing, drinking tea and enjoying the natural view.

2- Variety of experiences, which create deeper memories. Art was embodied in four main experiences that were reflected in four unique spaces: Creating space (studios): Transparent spaces viewed as multiple layers with different events. Isolating space (galleries): Isolating the artwork from any interference using cyclorama walls. Discussion space: Space for discussing social and art topics among students and teachers. Silent space: Space where artists have someplace with their own mind for deep meditation.

3-Community rather than faculty: Providing different activities for various age groups would add more diversity which would create a community rather than just a faculty (children, students, and professors) 4- Reflect some art meanings: Unlimitedness: The continuity of the transparent spaces and the depth of the white space. Indeterminate: The feeling of uncertainty from the building, which seems under construction. Sharing: Sharing arts between students (shared workspace) as well as with the surrounding.
Third: Affiliation Category: The essence of the University of Khartoum and belonging to Sudan The essence of the University of Khartoum is something phenomenal that lies in its value and status to the community. This has been achieved by improving the quality of the surrounding urban space. The main building material (brick) only represents the anchoring point and it also reflects the site and its location beside the River Nile.

Second: Site Category:
Fourth: Future Category:
As the building gets to benefit from the site, it also should be improved from the building.
A building that overcomes the present and the future
1-Connecting and interacting with the surrounding: Art is for everyone.The building shares & broadcast abstract digital art with the surrounding urban context, to become a part of it enhancing its spatial quality, and adding more visual content. That was achieved by using media technology such as holographic display and digital billboard.
When designing a building it's important to consider future changes. Future can't be predicted but it can be accommodated. Some open spaces were left empty as multifunctional spaces, glaze partitions had been used in most of the building instead of regular masonry walls and that adds more flexibility to the building. Space was left for future expansion, which can be used when additional spaces required for large events such as graduation ceremonies using temporary structure.
2-Extending the building limits: By extending a bridge to the land beside the Nile, new activities such as floating galleries, outdoor social and working spaces created. By that, art introduced to the public by blending it with their social activities, along with the hologram this creates the relation between art, artists, community, and nature.

Nile Street bridge Using LED curtain the bridge become interactive and more vivid and thus more exciting to walk through. Moreover, The importance of the Nile street and the position of the bridge across it makes it perfect for advertising, which forms a source of income for the building.
To get the illusion of a white continuous depthless space, an infinite cyclorama wall is installed. It is a large curtain, which curves smoothly at the bottom to meet the floor, and the top meeting the ceiling so that with careful lighting, the illusion of infinite space is achieved. This technique is common in television and film stills studios.

xi- Environmental strategies
xii-Technical
After studying the sun path diagram of Sudan we noticed that the sun most likely comes nearly vertical and from the Southern facade. Also not to forget the sun from eastern and western facades. The following strategies were used to overcome these problems.
Structural plan The structural system used is a combination of concrete columns with composite slabs and concrete columns with beams & regular concrete slab (Discussion space, first-year lecture hall, corridors, and cantilevers). There is a 3.00 m depth reinforced concrete beams at the discussion space and the 1st year lecture hall, which also acts as a thermal mass.
Positioning: The building long sides are facing the North-South (annual wind direction). Plantation: The green courtyard act as the lung of the building creating a cool microclimate, for the southern facade a green buffer had been used as sun breakers. Green roof: Exposed roof areas were covered sinceThe roof is the main source of heat gain. Solar panels: The panels are fixed on solar GPS tracker, and also act as a double roof. Shading devices: Shading cubes were used for Northern and Southern windows.

Air conditioning system Variable Refrigerant Flow system (VRF) was selected because it improves climate control and minimizes energy loss by heating and cooling different rooms at the same time. That improves long-term savings as well as energy efficiency in an industry that’s focusing more and more on green building and sustainable practices. Moreover, this system requires less space since the Indoor Units are smaller, and VRF systems don’t usually require ducts.

ii- Site location and history The site is in Al-Sheikh Mohammed Ali maternity hospital, Omdurman, Khartoum, Sudan. The hospital designed by German architects around the 80s and considered the harsh hot climate of Sudan by using double roof and courtyards also traditional brick was the primary building material, which is suitable for Sudan's climate. The proposed site located in the middle of the complex to the Eastern side.

Cooling strategies:A double roof system is used to protect the building from direct sunlight, and to match the architecture of the hospital. There is a number of water channels that cools the building using fountains located on top of the dividing wall. These channels created outdoor praying areas divided equally at 1.5 m (width of the praying row). This system is also used to drain water collected from the roof. Muslims use a lot of water during ablution. Few channels are placed beside the ablution zones to circulate the water cooling the area before been drained. To get the benefit of the building angle, that is facing the North East ( annual wind direction), verandas were added and equipped with clay water pots for drinking, which also cools the air that flow through .

Praying Area
Phenomenological Aspects: Praying is about meditation and experiencing a condition of peace. The building utilizes the use of light, sound, and smell to enhance this experience. Brick curtains and wall openings manipulated the light and the shadow. The sound of water from fountains gives a relaxing sensation and the earthy smell of the water flowing in the channels which with aggregates resemble that of rain.

Positioning: The direction of Al Qibla towards all Muslims pray, was determined and a division wall was used to divide the men’s zone from women’s. Since the majority of the hospital users are women, the part which is facing the hospital was dedicated for women, while more men are expected to visit the mosque from outside the hospital and this is why the men’s part is facing the road. The men’s area is larger than women’s because in Islamic culture it's preferred that women pray at home.
Q
The task of this project was to design a mosque for Al-Sheikh Mohammed Ali maternity Hospital. The mosque would be used by hospital residents as well as people from outside the hospital. It was important to consider the hospital history and the existing building style in order to create a building that fits perfectly in the context.

The task of this project was to design a headquarter for Omdurman National Bank (ONB), which is considered to be one of the biggest banks in Sudan. The client required two towers. One for the headquarter and the other one would be commercial offices. The design arranged in the form of an architectural competition and our design won first place.

- Producing the conceptual sketches, which was chosen to be the base of the design. - Creating the basic geometry of the building considering the climate, view & site regulations . - Designing the facade taking into consideration environmental and aesthetic aspects. - Determining the position of podium restaurants and Designing all the roof gardens . - Creating the 3d model and producing all the renders as well as some Illustrative diagrams.
According to Almogran Central Business District regulations, the position of the tower in each plot is already determined based on the view and the skyline. The tower could exceed this zone by around 20% - 40% of the area to add some flexibility to the design.
iii- Site location and analysis
The main idea that all the team agrees about suggested connecting the pedestrian routes with the Corniche, which located beside the Nile.The idea formed by introducing the concept of two courtyards (plazas), which considered to be meeting and distribution points. By connecting these courts by the pedestrian path the site took shape and divided the podium into two zones.
iv- Design concept
The site is located within Almogran CBD Urban Design, Khartoum at the confluence of the Blue Nile and White Nile Rivers, which join at this location to form the Great Nile River.

The podiums were connected at the upper levels to optimize the shading and to add better connectivity. The towers took the shape of curved volumes that are moving toward the Nile. This geometry provide a better view of the Nile while minimizing the direct sunlight from the West also it has better aerodynamics because in Sudan most of the time the wind comes from the North East. In addition, both towers did not exceed the allowable percentage of the area outside the tower zones (40% - %20 ).

After thoroughly examining the clients' requirements and following the regulations and guidelines. We come out with a design of two main Towers at the South East (14 stories) and North (18 stories) corners of the site. The towers are linked together at the podium level with a raised mezzanine floor; with pleasant roof gardens that enrich the view from both tower, furthermore to shade the pedestrian pathways between the two towers which revive the core of the building.

x- Facades Design
xi- Roof gardens and terraces
The design should respond to the specificity of Khartoum's climate. This would not only help ground the building and architecture but would create pleasant and habitable spaces both internal and external. Ideas studied in our initial facade design focused on reducing the heat gain as well as responding to climate and orientation.
Open spaces, as well as large roof gardens connecting the two towers, were provided to be used throughout the year for cafes, restaurant, and outdoor events.
By using vertical & horizontal shading, internal spaces are self shaded and heat gain to interiors minimized. Also reducing direct solar glare and heat was critical to an efficient design. Conceptually the undulating vertical patterns and the wavy idea of the shading devices reflects the waves of the River Nile .

The roof gardens would help to cool the building as well as the surrounding urban context by increasing the humidity (vegetation and fountains). Also, it would act as a large social platform that connects the towers with the podiums.

i- Introduction The task of this project was to design a public library in one of the less privileged neighborhoods in Khartoum, using one or more of earth architecture techniques to become a raw model that, improve the environmental aspects of buildings in such areas.
ii- Contribution to the project I was contributing to this project as part of a team consisting of four members. I was mainly responsible for creating the General zoning and the courtyard idea, roof design, and construction techniques as well as the interior design.
iii- Site Location and analysis
East Nile
Khartoum North
The site is located in El- Wihda neighborhood, El-Haj Yousif, East Nile. El Wihda is a third-degree residential area. The majority of buildings there are made from cement blocks or mud and roofed with corrugated metal sheets. The Houses poorly designed and executed and the environmental aspect neglected. Most of the buildings have no air conditioning, but only evaporative cooling units in some houses.

General zoning In planning the building components, the main functions are positioned in the southern and northern sides (annual wind direction), while services located on the east side. In the center, a courtyard composed of open and semi-open areas is created to control the microenvironment, add to patrons experience and provide extra outdoor space in case of special events. The main entrance is from the west, and there is a small entrance from the east to be used by services, suppliers as well.

Environmental strategies Materials: The building consists mainly of rammed earth walls and compressed earth blocks which both have a great thermal mass. Façade: The fence consists of hollow clay cylinders, stacked above one another and held by a frame of columns. By circulating water using a pump to the top of the fence and let it drop by gravity on the clay cylinders an evaporative cooling system is formed. Double roof:On the rammed earth walls tie beams are formed to support the barrel vaults roof. Above, metal sheets are spread slantingly to drain rainwater, supported by steel Trusses attached to the tie beam.

The multi-purpose halls rolling doors could be opened creating a spacious social area for outdoor events. Reading hall: The internal walls were left unfished to preserve the aesthetic of the rammed earth walls. The furniture is flexible and can be adjusted to different positions to fit patrons need. The furniture consists of two blocks; Block one (B1) is 160x60x85 cm and block two (B2) is 50x50x45 cm. They employed as a table and chair, reading booth or shelves. Furniture, Source: Author

8. Zain Corporate Building Location: Khartoum - Sudan / Professional project - Group Work Building type: Commercial building, May 2019 , Area:1400 m2 i- Introduction
iv- Design concept The entire ground floor area is used to accommodate the functional requirements leaving no space for landscape and outdoor areas, this is why an elevated semi-open terrace with plantation was created at the 2nd-floor level to create a breather for the employees and improving their user experience. In a way, we tried to recreate the green area that existed previously, using the same trees.
The task of this project was to design a public library in one of the less privileged neighborhoods in Khartoum, using one or more of earth architecture techniques to become a raw model that, improve the environmental aspects of buildings in such areas.
ii- Contribution to the project I was contributing to this project as part of a team consisting of two members. I was responsible for creating the design concept, general zoning, core design, and some of the floor plans.

iii- Site Location and analysis
N East Nile Khartoum North The site is located at 25th Street, Al Amarat, Khartoum, Sudan, and it's facing three roads, 25th Street, and two Sub-Roads. There is a Neighbour (3 floors building) on the Westside. The existing buildings El- Haj Yousif would be demolished because they Khartoum couldn't withstand additional floors and basement. Besides the existing building, they were some existing Umm Dawm trees, one of the suggestion was to transport them, to be used somewhere else in the new design. Site location, Source: Google maps Four entrances were determined according to the client's requirements. The main entrance ( 25th Street) for customers, and employees. Sub-entrance (Eastern SubRoad) for the employees. Services Entrance (Northern Sub-Road), used for supplies to the store. Basement Entrance (Northern Sub-Road), used only by employees (parking).

9. Back to The Nature
Published
Location: Anywhere / Professional project - Individual work Building type: Recreational / Leisure , May 2020 , Area: 25 m2 i- Introduction Tamayouz Excellence Award launched a seven-day design challenge, prompting architects and designers to submit designs for their ideal lockdown space. Spaces need to measure at 25 square metres in total while also meeting the guidelines of self-isolation, what the space looked like, contained, or its location, among other factors, was left up to the participants.
ii- Design manifesto Maybe the biggest drawback of the quarantine is separating us from outer nature as well as making us more addicted to our smartphones and spend more time on social media. The sky is our roof, the lake is our floor, and the trees are our walls. An outdoor space is created to reconnect and blend us with nature again. An internet free-zone that encourages us to socialize and enjoy this valuable time with our family. A reconsideration of our life priorities even after this pandemic ends.

The idea is to use the building as a barrier that separates the public from the private and to maximize the interaction between built and open (landscape), blending the interior with nature, creating different outdoors with different experiences as an attempt to achieve the Japanese concept of Ihyou making conscious connections to impart unforgettable memories.

i- Introduction
Transparent walls
2020 had many hardships: physical, economical, emotional, social, and psychological. While each person experienced the year in their way, many shared narratives unite people all over the world. While the pandemic is not yet over, the Tamayouz 2020 Memorial Challenge hopes to highlight public endurance thus far and honor the struggles, endeavors, strengths, or hopes of the past year. Participants are given 7 days to design a 2020 memorial to be located in a public space of their choice, there are no constraints on the size of the memorial or the site other than its context.
iii- Design manifesto Milan was one of the cities that reflected the collective feelings and emotions during the pandemic worldwide. Although there was despair, there was hope. Although being separated, we were together, despite being lost in the end, we would find the way. What appears as a single labyrinth is four separated mazes that lead to a central green court. All the walls are made from glass. Whereas you cannot have physical contact with others, seeing them trying to find their way and being able to see the central green court would generate a feeling of hope and optimism that eventually we would meet. 1. Four spaces that are blended, and divided by (2x2) meters grid.
