A B S T R A C T FARM LAB is a research center for Jebel Hafeet studies which include an Archaeology HQ, education center and Botan, ic Studies Hub. This one of a kind building addresses the needs of scientists and educa, tors from basic shelter needs to recreational needs. The de, sign is made u p of 3 organ, ic shapes that act together as one inside the mountain. The north east placement provides large openings without direct sunlight. The concept behind this design ex plores parasitic architecture in which the build, ing acts as a parasite clinging onto the Jebel Hafeet mountain.

A B S T R A C T The building focuses around the Planetar, ium which is placed on the edge of the site and symbolizes a strong entrance. The program also includes 11 exhibit gal, leries of varied areas, also an A.I. court, yard, a cafe and a retail space. Visitors will be able to experience the exhibits freely as they travel through the open spaces also provided with maximum natural light without direct sunlight. The 2 levels of the building are connected through a central atrium and the A.I. courtyard, which can be accessed from both levels. That pro, vides a visual connection between the levels and engages all the public vertical circulation points. As a result, the visitors of the Science Center experience a viv, id recreational and scientific atmosphere through an exciting educational journey.

In order to design the building as a Learning Tool, we looked at the lan, guage of science for inspiration. Build, ings are rooted to a time and place rooted to the landscape in which they sit. Our research therefore started with the landscape of Dubai. This quickly led us to the Desert, which form such a fundamental backdrop to life in UAE. Studying the rose-like formations of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte called Desert Rose led us to discov, ering the beauty of those formations found in the desert around the UAE. The beauty of these crystal formations is strong in its various shapes that occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, such as the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. The crystals form a circular array of f lat plates, giving the rock a shape similar to a rose blossom.

In order to design the building as a Learning Tool, we looked at the language of science for inspiration. Buildings are rooted to a time and place - rooted to the landscape in which they sit. Our research therefore started with the landscape of Marrakech. This quickly led us to the Atlas Mountains, which form such a fun, damental backdrop to life in Morocco and Mar, rakech itself. Studying the formation and geology of the Atlas Mountains led us to examine conti, nental drift and the formation of the earth itself. What we found was truly inspiring. Over the eons, large tectonic plates called “cratons� have drifted around the globe forming conti, nents and su percontinents. There have been u p to seven su per continental eras on Earth. Pangea, the most recent of these su percon, tinents is probably also the most well-known. Scientists have recreated what they believe is the most likely configuration of Pangea from meticulous study of the fossil and geologi, cal records, and what we have discovered has surprising implications for this project.

The ground foor and its associated event spaces (cafe, event space, the podiumplaza, and the outdoor amphitheatre) is designed with f lexibility and adaptability in mind. Depending on the requirements of the events and the size of the grou ps the spaces can be combined for one larger free-f lowing event, or separated into individual spaces. The Second Floor roof Terrace can also be used for events.
The program at Discovery Centre Marrakech is divided between ticketed spaces, and non-ticketed spaces with less restricted ac, cess. The majority of the Ground Floor is non-ticketed, and can therefore be used by the general public who want to visit the cafe or attend an open event in the Lobby or Atrium. The first and second floors are ticketed gallery spaces.

PRISM interprets art onto the building itself by building an iconic giant in the heart of Abu Dhabi. PRISM focuses on ex perience of the visitor by creating spaces which enhance the vision and design of contemporary architecture. Fluidity throughout the building creates ramps and slopes which ease the visitors journey. The big shell which is the building itself is an envelope like structure which holds itself u p while the f loors are held u p by there own structure which is a common column structure. Also, the building was designed to hold different types of activities on different f loors, with exhibitions being on the ground f loor and u pper f loors while the rest of the functions are on the lower f loors. To help maximize space and use basement f loors with access of natural lighting, slopes were created in the ground to let light slip onto lower levels to create a feeling of openness.

When people f ly in into the UAE, they ex pect to see sand dunes that cover the whole area and that is where the organic concept of the outer shell came to look like sand dunes in respect of that highlight in the country. The buildings design also depends on doubling the size of the previous departure lounge and check-in areas, as well as adding a new high-tech airline in-f light catering facility, more office space and other improvements to operations to allow the addition of more airlines with new carriers and destinations ,and make it a more lively place to use. The terminal will include 4 gates (2 of which are international and 2 domestic. There will be a business lounge for each including a smoking area, a relaxing lounge with a mini cafĂŠ and sleeping pods to relax in.

This existing Kids Center in Dubai was established with an aim on enriching cultural lives of children. With that in mind, the all new re-inventing of the this center helps guide the program further into science education and interactive learning. With a new program comes a new design, which is curated to work closely with the program from interior to exterior. A layer of hexagonal silhouette made of metal frames is su perimposed horizontally across one of the concrete volumes, with the same shape creating interstices along the rest of the building. This bold use of geometry helps invite and grab attention to it being a fun ex ploratory space for children.

This organic design was chosen to imitate the ocean and contrast the existing harsh instituional exterior building design giving it a new identity. The entrance design concept is a shell on a beach before submerging into the ocean depths. The shell structure on the entrance area attracts visitors and becomes a symbol for the building, while also making the building more identifiable as a ocean science center. The exterior entrance is only the start as visitors enter they will find a dark projection hall which will include hi-tech projectors that give the sense of being underwater, which ignites sensory stimulation.

Situated in Amman, the city where old meets new, this design concept focuses on the futuristic vision that Amman seeks, and the history it embodies. The Edu Complex is a small education district made u p of 7 buildings which works independently, but are inter-connected in program and purpose. The main focus of this project is the Science Center which works as an anchor for this project. The Discovery Cent re’s design is derived from music notes as well as modern arts. The Two Schools which are inspired by 20th century modern art can occu py u p to 1000 students each. The girls school is identified by the warmer red, orange and yellow colours. While the boys school is identified by its cooler blue, green and yellow colours. The yellow colour is the main accent colour in all 7 buildings and is used on the Discovery Center as a main indicator.

One with Nature is a proposal that hopes to reconnect people with nature, and people with outdoor activities amongst other things. This 107,250 m2 area is in amidst of all the knowledge and innovation action which the Abu Dhabi Government is promoting to realise. This district is currently a farm area which is mostly abandoned. it not only cre, ates a block for connectivity but it acts as an important place since its in between The wadi and other institutional facilities. This pro, ject lies in between an important knowledge infrastructure which can only be completed by A public Library, community center for youth and children, shops, restaurants, square, plaza, stepped landscape which acts as the perfect place for events or just relaxing un, der the shade. Also, to help connecting the community with nature, a habitat is provid, ed for travelling birds and small animals that are often seen around the area, not only that but its all connected to a research fa, cility since its specialized in nature studies.
135
136
137 The framework is anchored by a nature research facility which falls in the middle of the framework. with simple connectivity lines through the framework which allow pedestrians to f low freely through. The framework divides the urban area with corridors that minimize vehi, cle imprint as much as possible, while maximizing natural habitat.

It is critical to make the decision to build a green building early in the design process in order to maximize the green potential, minimize redesign, and assure the overall success and economic viability of the green elements of the building project. In this project, pedestrians are given the priority with giving them back the ground f loor and creating tunnels and different paths for vehicles. When vehicles are given lower roads this helps keep air fresher on the pedestrian level, also greenery helps filter that air and keeps it fresh. By doing that, the area is less accident prone and more environmental friendly. Plaza’s and meeting points are built underground to shield from the direct sun-rays and lower the overall temperature. Residential buildings are placed in reference with vernacular architecture which puts every 2 house s adjacent to each other creating liwans between them which provide shade for pedestrians.
