Retreat 4.0 aims to address to the specific needs of a community of graduate students living with their families. It is an affordable housing solution that specifically targets to the social dynamics of this particular group
“SELF-SUSTAINING & INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY” LOCATION: ORCHARD DOWNS, URBANA, ILLINOIS GRADUATE STUDIO III / SECOND YEAR 2018 INDIVIDUAL WORK SOLAR DECATHLON & ARCHON PRIZE ENTRY EARL PRIZE NOMINEE WORK ON UIUC WEBSITE
University of Illinois on-campus housing at Orchard Downs caters to a number of different user groups including graduate students, staff and faculty members along with their families. The spread of Orchard Downs is nestled a self-sustaining and independent community. It utilizes an area of the site that to date has not been developed and is slightly segregated from the current development of Orchard Downs.
APARTMENT UNITS The proposed sixteen apartment complex is built on the idea of providing a variable experience in response to the user group of graduate students with families. Spread on two levels, the units range from one to three bed, depending on the need of the family and budget constraints. Apartment units also vary in terms of size and square footage to avoid projecting a massive and redundant look of the complex as seen from either ends of the rectangular site.
SITE PLAN
Retreat 4.0 Architectral Portfolio
The site is a horizontal strip of land spread on an area of 90,000 sq. ft. (approximately 600’ x 150’) located on the south side of West Florida Avenue, Urbana, Illinois. The proposed sixteen apartments spread on two levels, the units range from 1 to 3 bedrooms, depending on the need of the family and budget constraints.

Retreat 4.0 Architectral Portfolio
Retreat 4.0 houses provide an effective use of space that fosters interactions between occupants and support family living. The units offer shared living space, an adjacent kitchen and dining areas, designed to encourage a family to make meals, live, work, and play together. The separate bedrooms allow individuals to retreat, into private spaces.

GROUND FLOOR - TWO UNITS
FIRST FLOOR - TWO UNITS
SUN-ROOMS Retreat 4.0 houses two public sun-rooms located to the south end of the complex. Each sun room caters to a pair of two units of four apartments each distanced 50 feet apart, in terms of efficient use of solar energy.
SUN-ROOMS

These sun-rooms house activities for students and children simultaneously and act as a semiopen public space for the neighborhood. The size and location of the sun-rooms also allow for multiple events and social gatherings.

Building envelopes in general and, in particular, fenestrations are the places in which most interactions between indoor and outdoor environment take place. Dynamic control systems adjust the amount of intake sunlight with assistance from users or mechanical devices. Studies to date have not thoroughly and comprehensively developed an alternative system in which a self-morphing structure that is responsive to outdoor environmental conditions can function as an “adaptive daylight control system”

The project evolved due to the tragic events that took place in the recent war and how it affected the community. The garden is located in the inner islands, Umm Yifenah, Abu Dhabi.
“PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT & SOCIAL RECOVERY IN ARCHITECTURE” LOCATION: INNER ISLANDS, ABU DHABI, UAE SENIOR PROJECT II / FIFTH YEAR 2016 TEAM WORK (Concept & Theme, Garden Designs, Plans, Sections, Structure & Construction Details, Illumination, Fire Evacuation)
It seeks to establish social recovery and memorialization. The design was inspired by the Journey of a Martyr in defending the truth that is countered with hardships and losses; the most precious loss is that of a soul. The backbone of the design is the path representing the experience of a martyred soldier passing through 4 different settings that are connected with a looped path that allows physical movement and accessibility.

As a result of studying environmental psychology, it was found that natural elements have positive effects on humans. So in order to have that, four settings were created representing the different natural features of the country, each having its own building and garden, with its own theme and features.
22
1 DESERT SETTING The path would start in a desert setting representing the military forces fighting in arid, scorched conditions. Externally the form would be inspired by the dynamic quality of the sand dunes, which is the most representative setting of the gulf area. This garden has a MARTYR MUSEUM that commemorates their sacrifice.

In the past, the settlements and events in UAE were along the shore but with time they moved toward the desert. Sharjah is ranked among the top 10 cities with economic potential.
“TO PREDICT THE FUTURE WE HAVE TO REVIVE PARTS OF THE PAST” LOCATION: AL-MAMZAR PENINSULA, SHARJAH, UAE STUDIO PROJECT V / FOURTH YEAR 2015 TEAM WORK: (Concept & Theme, Masterplan, Layers, 3D Modeling, Sections, details, calculations)
Therefore the design has to revive the old cities character in a modern way that would make Sharjah compete with the global cities. This was done by creating events along the shore at Al Khan, Al Mamzar area. The project explores the potential to produce habitable and livable spaces using traditional techniques such as courtyards and Sikkas that can increases the amount of shading for pedestrians during the hot and humid days of the summer.

“OCCUPYING PEOPLE’S MINDS” LOCATION: AL-TA’AWUN, AL-KHAN, SHARJAH, UAE STUDIO PROJECT VI / FOURTH YEAR 2015 Team Work (Theme, Plans, 3D Modeling, Sections, Elevations, Structural & Construction Details)
As the site consists of the 3 obvious natural elements of Water-Beach, Fire-Sun and Air-Wind; the main element was absent, the Earth-Rock. Introducing the rock element in the site brings together the 4 main elements of the nature, to complete the picture of a natural environment. Experiencing the building externally and internally would create a memorable experience to the visitors, thus creating mental occupation.
THEME
FORM DEVELOPMENT
The availability of the three elements of the nature are clearly presented on the site ; Fire-Sun, Water-Beach and AirWind. However, one element is missing, which is the Earth. The Earth consisting of the main base of the nature, which is Rock/Sand.

CONCEPT Combining the missing element-Rock(theme), the form is made to complete the full image of the missing nature element OCCUPYING people’s minds and memory (mental OCCUPATION)
Human comfort is greatly significant. By the analysis of the factors around the site, human’s needs have to be satisfied to OCCUPY spaces for 24 hours. HOW?
IMAGES IMPEDED INTO HUMAN’S MINDS
Research was done on the three factors, noise level, sun and visitor’s age with respect to time. Spaces were designed accordingly thus OCCUPATION is achieved physically.
