Crane reuse proposal Europan 15 competition, (Helsinborg)

In Helsinborg city, Sweden, the municipality is planning to reuse the old crane located at its main port. This project is intended to be the municipality contribution to the architecture Expo for the year 2022.

Reusing the crane,“Europan 15” (Competition, Helsinborg)

1- Side terraces are added to the crane 2- New doors are opened in the 1 st floor.

3- water terrace is constructed

Programs used: Rhino,Autodesk Revit ,Adobe Photoshop Main idea: Turning the crane top floor into a place for training the SCAD diving (a free fall jump onto a hanged safety net) to be the main activity, is the idea of this crane reuse proposal.

Before the Expo time, the lower 1ST floor room could be a rentable place, an art gallery, or a small museum for all the stories related to the harbour.

Elevators and stairs were put away from the main crane body while connected by wide terraces to provide more space for the 1ST floor activities. Also a small terrace was added for this reason.

Centre of life (competition ) (Ukerewe Island,Tanzania)

The main goal was to design a childcare centre in T anzania that can also act as a community centre for this island, where children can get fun and education at the same time. Flexibility was crucial in this project for the very limited budget allocation. So, we separated the project components into smaller simple units that can be completed in phases and then we connected all the units through series of shades (could be provided from recycled ship sails).

Centre of life (Group project) Awards: won the 1ST place (in 2019 the project started actual building in Tanzania)

Programs used: Rhino,Autodesk Revit ,Adobe Photoshop Team members: Architecture team: Hany Elhassany, (Architect) Hung Bui (Architect) Sofia Högstrand (water engineer), Erik Winquist (structure engineer) My role : With the architecture team, I designed the urban plan strategy beside my specific responsibility about the presented design visuals and sketches.

Project idea We adopted a very flexible plan with wide open areas. The open courtyard welcomes people of all ages to gather around the main building, sitting on the brightly colored tires.

The project provides many potentials including, but not limited to, holding workshops for teaching methods of dealing with the important environmental problems such as the accessible methods of cleaning water supplies or the creative use of wastes, especially the abundantly available orange wastes.

Proposed method for cleaning the well water, using sand filtration

Safe spaces for children are created by the openness that infiltrates the very idea of the construction enabling adults to observe and take care of them. Semi-covered walls allow for visibility and enjoying the view over Lake Victoria from many places.

Shade is also provided through roof overhangs, canvas installations and the utilization of the already available trees.

Project phases (after winning the competition) After winning the competition, we had meeting with both the clients and people from the locality in Tanzania. There, we modified the designed plans and added the implantation phases and the working drawings.

Phase 1: Only minimal structures

Phase 4: Building orange factory

Phase 2: Constructing the main buildings, toilet, kitchen, healthcare centre

Phase 3: Completing the health-care centre, building the office

Phase 5: Project complete

[Play]station (master thesis) (Malmo, Sweden)

Is experimental case study on how to design a modern adventure playground using 3D printing and Recycled materials, as a way of integrating refugee teenagers through playing.

Page: 13

Architecture work

[Play]station (master thesis) Making parkour games from trash materials using connectors Programs used: Grasshopper /Rhino Overview: The idea was inspired by a book called “Adventure Playground” by Arvid Bengtsson. The author criticized the design of conventional playground and preferentially introduced the concept of a playground for teenagers, who will partially build and run it by themselves. I designed a modern concept of the playground where teenagers/children can make their play area and explore things together.

Page: 14

Architecture work

Project idea [Play]station is a youth building with an indoor play area to accommodate activities for empowering teenagers. It encourages both physical and artistic activities. [Play]station provides an adaptable space as well as recyclable materials that are useful for building many shapes including, but not limited to, Parkour tracks (or any type of play tracks), art gallery, and many other possibilities. Participants use 3D printing and various manual skills to build their own games..

Page: 15

Architecture work

[Play]station games Games are made from the trash materials (bottles, wood sheets, …) that could be transformed into different forms using 3D printed connectors. Parametric design logic (aggregation) was used as an assembly tool.

Fabrication Example Inspired by “truss-fab” [1] project, I redesigned their prototype unit and fabricated new connectors for my truss-based games.

Experiments showed that with using the plastic bottles from trash as the basic unit, the structure can hold some weight.

Extrapolation of results on PVC pipes is justifiable.

The Food Lab (Kødbyen, Copenhagen)

A temporary cooking school in the central square of Kødbyen to be periodically built during the period of the Food Exhibition Market. This important event usually takes place yearly from April to September.

Page: 20

Architecture work

The Food Lab (Kødbyen, Copenhagen) Part of school project applying 3d printing architecture

Programs used: Rhino /grasshopper,Diva, Autodesk CFD Overview: This building hosts all activities dealing with food. Education on how to use 3D printing for cooking and the food recycling skills are also included. There is a small gallery to exhibit the lab products of participants.

Building system The structure system is composed of light wood frames and walls made from prefabricated units placed around vertical columns (studs). Wall units are 3D printed clay with a specific conical shape. This system is very flexible; unites can easily be remove, replace, or rearrange to create openings (doors/ windows) or change walls.

Page: 21

Architecture work

Architecture form The form is composed of two concentric rectangles where wall partitions are perfectly placed using diva software to grantee the best possible sun light as well as .decreasing the wind effect inside the place

Wall prototype Wall placement script Optimizing wall placement is done using grasshopper scripting to enable the largest possible illumination inside the structure. The script divides the interior space into rectangular grid and measures the illumination in each rectangle then places walls to match this criterion. Best results are filtered and then, the most logical solution is chosen.

WIND, SUN AND FUN (Västra Hamnen, Malmö)

This project was part of the course “Climate Smart Architecture and Urban Design” studied at Lund university. The focus of the course is to get an overview on different techniques to measure, calculate and deal with different climates while implementing those aspects in an urban design project in Västra Hamnen area.

Wind,sun and Fun (group project) Programs used: Autodesk CFD, Rhino/grasshopper, Photoshop Team members: Mohammad Al Hamwi , Hany Elhassany, Maja Linse, Charlotte Piggott

Citadellsfogen is a former industrial site located just on the edge of Vastra Hamnen, a popular residential area in Malmo with plenty of cafes and restaurants. The site is within a short cycle distance from Malmo central station and Malmo city centre.

The site is close to the sea and also has water running through it. This is a defining feature of the site but can be a problem due to the many heavy floods Malmo has experienced during the past few years. Another issue needed to be taken into consideration is the fact that strong winds sometimes come in from the sea and there is little natural protection as the area is flat.

Designing a neighbourhood with a comfortable outdoor climate that can stand the test of the climate changes present is the driving factor in this project.

“Cell” Fabrication units

A new research idea depending on modular units was put for fabricating objects larger than conventional laser cutter bed size or material sheets. My role was to design and prototype the ideas for the “Kyub” programmers to expand the software capabilities to encompass them. This research was tested on fabricating furniture such as tables and chairs. The idea may have the potential to be used in architecture construction.

Workshops for schools (Potsdam, Germany)

As a way of disseminating research results and their testing on a larger scale, Kyub project organized multiple workshops in collaboration with “Grace Hopper Gesamtschule Teltow” school and some other schools in Berlin. The goal is to enable participants to have designing and fabrication skills. Guiding participants through the process of making products such as speakers and musical instruments (Cajon and Guitar) was the strategy of our workshops

Page: 45

Research & Fabrication

Workshop approach The learning process passed through a series of models “challenges” to follow. Each challenge was intended to teach the participant only one step at a time. Here showing some steps of how to fabricate an acoustic guitar.

Under the supervision of Kyub PI (prof. Patrick Baudisch), my role was to design the challenges contents in addition to other numerous accessories (assets).
