Bio Di ma A l moba ra k is a recent graduate from the Masters of Architecture program at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, currently working in a mid-sized Architectural firm specialized in housing. Prior to her studies in the Bay Area, she studied Interior Architecture at the University of Dammam in Saudi Arabia. During the Summer of 2014 and her thesis studies, she interned at the Stanford University Architect and Planning office creating architectural descriptions of Stanford’s buildings to determine their historical value. Dima is well-versed in software, with particular ability in drafting, rendering and editing programs (including Revit, Archicad, Adobe Suite, Autodesk, and SketchUp, among others). She believes in the power of collaboration, and that beautiful design stems from an innate understanding of community ser vice and ecological problem-solving.

Connecting programs through pathways can create another level of interaction
Subtracting shapes from the field can create pockets for outdoor programs such as outdoor labs
Stacking the program in a layer form allows a level of transparency.

For materials, locally-sourced adobe is used generously. Exaggerating the thickness of the adobe walls, both interior and exterior ones, ensures that, in a harsh climate such as that of this particular site, heat from the sun and fro m the activities generated by the students throughout all program areas is actually retained. The optimism in this proposal is that it offers an environment rooted in the needs of the children and their education. It not only offers basic classrooms but spaces that can be activated by the children based on their desired activities while offering them an envelope that keeps the temperature stable and the daylight plentiful.
