THE GALLERY
THE GALLERY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO IV | STRUCTURAL STUDIO | SPRING 2017 PROFESSOR FAYSAL TABBARAH The Gallery project aimed to find solutions that present nuanced attitudes towards material, structure, enclosure and landscape into a coherent and integrated construct. The project asked for detailed tectonic solutions that would inspire the creative processes that would take place within its exhibition and work spaces, as well as attract visitors to engage in its public activities. My approach to this project was to create a break in the rigidity and control of the site on which it was located. The grid of trees was broken by creating a moment of intensity within the field, that would attract visitors to the project, rather than allow it to blend in with its surroundings. The project consists of three shell units, of varying scales. This cluster formation allows for the seperation of public and private through its programmatic organization. Structurally, each unit in the cluster is formed by an assembly of modules, wherein each module is adjusted in form to match the spatial needs of the program they house. Each module is assembled on site, using pre-fabricated glass fibre reinforced concrete parts, allowing for efficient construction. The lines on the surfaces of the modules work together to define a line of enclosure that is offset from the edges of the shell, as well as form force lines within the structure. The interior contrasts to the light and slender form of the shells, by drawing the ground up into the project to create habitable spaces within the shells.

PHYSICAL MODEL 3D Printed Model | Z-Corp Projet 660 | Scale 1:100 The final model is of the Gallery unit within the cluster. This unit is comprised of the repeating arrangement of modules seen in the other two units, with an addition on the North-West side of the project, to accomodate for the space requirements of the gallery. The skylights in the project all face north, with shading devices on the south side, to allow for diffused light within the porject.

MUWEILAH LIBRARY
MUWEILAH LIBRARY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO III | FALL 2016 PROFESSOR MARCUS FARR The Muweilah Library project introduced a community library into a site of residential and commercial buildings. The project aimed to break the otherwise mundane architectural style present on the site by introducing a fresh community project set in an infill condition. The project responds to the site in terms of concept, culture, programmatic organization and public spaces. I approached this project by designing a library that had open public spaces that could be occupied and use during closing hours, as well as while the library was open. After an analysis of the site, I found that there was a lack of educational libraries in a district that was primarily educational, which led to the Muweilah Library becoming a youth educational library. A major design decision was the inclusion of a white steel mesh shading device that covers the length of the site. This device allows for the passage of day and night winds through the project, which cools the outdoor spaces, as well as allows diffused light into the project.

PHYSICAL MODEL Basswood + Acrylic + Plywood | Scale 1:200 3D Print | Z-Corp Projet 660 | Scale 1:200 The final model is constructed mainly of basswood and acrylic, with a plywood site model. As the design for the steel mesh screen evolved, the model also evolved into a combination of a 3D printed screen form and basswood.

BATHING RITUAL
BATHING RITUAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO II | SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR WILLIAM SARNECKY The Bathing Ritual project aimed at creating a bathing space that offered its users an interesting experience through light and atmosphere. The space was required to accomodate for a bathing pool, a shower, a seating area and a small storage space. I approached the project with the aim of creating a space that had some form of procession, to elevate the user experience from just an atmospheric one, to a more ritualistic experience. The doubly curved walls of the bathing ritual allow for privacy from the outside, but allow natural light in through the roof, yet through undulation, provide shade where needed. The space consists of two pools, a caldarium and a tepidarium, with a concrete bench that extends to divide these two pools.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO II | SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR WILLIAM SARNECKY The Artists in Residence project asked us to design an exhibition-work space for two artists in residence. The architecture needed to respond to different privacy circumstances, for example, the accomodation of two artists working together, or seperately, as well as exhibition spaces that could be opened up to the public, while still allowing for privacy in the work-live spaces. An additional requirement of the project was to integrate the Bathing Ritual into the architecture in a method that responded to these issues of private and public. The site for the project was the Sharjah Art Foundation, a heritage site in the Emirate of Sharjah that has been partially rebuilt to accomodate gallery and studio spaces, while adhering to the rich vernacular architectural style present on the site. I approached the project with the aim of adhering to the vernacular style of the site. The Bathing Ritual space became an alien object within the project, due to the difference in language between it and the site. The Bathing Ritual was integrated into the building in a method that made it structurally a part of the project, with the Artists in Residence project constructed around it. The Artists in Residence project was split into two sections, one for each artist. A requirement of the project was to have one of the gallery/work spaces be accessible. In response to this, one of the two sections is single level, while the other required an upper level to accomodate for the required space. I attempted to give each artist a similar experience within the building, while still allowing them to control the level of privacy in their respective work/live spaces.
